Good candidates for lip augmentation are people in good health and without any active oral infections. As with all work, patients should be sure they have realistic expectations about the procedure and its enhancements.

Step 1: Consultation

Before your procedure, Dr. Saber and her team will talk to you about the procedures and which may be best in your case. Once we have gathered enough information, we will recommend the best course of treatment for your needs while ensuring that you are healthy enough to undergo the procedure. Dr. Saber will explain your chosen treatment, its benefits and risks, what to expect, and how to care for your lips as they heal.

Step 2: Numbing or Anesthesia

Depending on the type of treatment, your lips may be numbed using a topical or local anesthetic in the office. In the case of liposuction and fat transfer, or a combination of local anesthetic and sedation may be needed. Dr. Saber only works alongside board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure the highest level of safety.

Step 3: Filler or Fat Transfer

• Dermal Filler: The filler is injected into designated areas of the lips using extremely fine needles to achieve a balanced and naturally enhanced appearance.
• Fat Transfer: Liposuction is performed first to collect the necessary fat. After being purified and made ready for transfer, it is injected in a manner similar to fillers.

Patients can expect to experience some forms of swelling, discomfort, or bruising immediately following the procedures. While fillers rarely require any downtime, fat injection patients may call for a few days of rest.

There are some differences in the healing process across the different procedures. To achieve the best results safely, patients must follow the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Saber.
