Lip Enhancement

Procedures and treatments to improve the lips, and the area of the face surrounding the lips (known as the perioral region), are becoming increasingly popular.

You may have been born with thinner lips than you would like, or feel they are not balanced, with the top lip being thinner than the bottom.

Also as we age, lips get thinner, paler, and lose their definition. Vertical lines may appear above and below the lips, with “bleeding lipstick” often prompting the search for treatment.

Collagen Instant Therapy

The Paris Lip procedure, uses Zyplast® Collagen to define the lip border, enhancing your mouth's natural outline. This procedure is also extremely effective in preventing lipstick from bleeding across the lip border into the vertical lip lines.

Zyderm® Collagen is used to fill in and plump out the lines that surround the lips, particularly the vertical lip lines. Although highly effective on it’s own, this treatment is often combined with the Paris Lip procedure.

Hylagenesis®

Hylaform® Gel also can be used to enhance the lip border. Due to the gel nature of this product, it can be placed into the actual lip to increase volume.

This page provides an overview. More detailed information can be obtained during a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons.
