Prepare Yourself for a Beautiful New Year’s Eve.
In keeping with the above mentioned upcoming Holidays and with special kisses being in the headlines, lips are the perfect topic for this time of year.
Lip Enhancement for 2019: Confidence and Beauty
Some lip procedures require more planning than others. So let’s review and refresh an inventory of popular procedures for ladies who wish to have or to improve a perfectly plush pout.
In fact, the American Society of Plastic Surgery just issued this report. “Whether you have a “gummy” smile, wrinkles above your lips, downturned corners of your mouth or just want a luscious pout, there is an option to enhance your lips.”

Just last year, we detailed the story of Vobella XC, our most popular lip enhancer. can restore or create a beautiful contour for your lips.
is a form of hyaluronic acid (HA) suspended in a gel. It also contains the comforting local anesthetic, Lidocaine. You’ve probably heard of Hyaluronic acid in various recent television commercials or reports.
We’ve noticed people wince as soon as they hear the word acid.
Lip Enhancement is Far Superior to Lipstick and Rhinestones.
Fear not. As we told you in previous blogs, hyaluronic acid is a gentle substance that actually resides in the sugar of the human body. Properly injected into the skin, this substance goes on a rejuvenating mission.
Hyaluronic acid and specifically Volabella XC distributes special nutrients to the lips. This helps the lips retain moisture, shape, and softness.
- Our clients are reporting that this type of filler usually lasts from 4-10 months.
- The latest reports indicate, with the techniques of 2019 agree. “Using hyaluronic acid fillers with different types of cross-linking will allow your lip results to last a little longer, typically 6-12 months.”
2019 Lip Enhancement: Fat Grafting A Longer-Lasting Option
One longer lasting lip enhancement is called fat grafting. This process uses your body’s own fat. We know, it sounds outrageous. However, it is natural and our clients love the long-lasting results.
1. This lip beautifying procedure begins “by obtaining fat through liposuction.”
2. Then the fat cells are carefully filtered and processed on the fat cells.
3. At last, the surgeon injects your own fat cells into your lips, so your lips can be shaped.”
4. Basically, when you choose this option, your own fat cells become the filler for your lips.
Why Patients Love Fat Grafting
One of the biggest advantages of fat grafting is that it lasts for years. Currently, according to the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, “this the most durable option for lip enhancement.” Likewise, patients often remark, “It’s such a natural choice.”
Fighting Fine Lines, Smokers Lines or “Purse String” Lines Around the Lips
Fillers Can Bring Youth and plushness to lips.
Simple age, genetics or an old smoking habit can cause vertical lines around the lips. A skilled plastic surgeon can gently place Juvederm Volbella XC or another type of filler into the lines. This softens or eliminates them. The effect remains 6-10 months, sometimes a little longer. Why? Your body absorbs dermal fillers over time.
Skin Re-surfacing Enhancement for Lips: More Option for Fine Lines Around the Lips
As we have reported previously, skin Resurfacing is another option to destroy fine lines. Erase those lines or at least soften them. You can do this with resurfacing procedures like chemical peels or laser work. And we also remind you of our radio-frequency options such as our amazing Thermi-Smooth. Again, your choice for new lip looks in 2019 is up to your surgeon and you.
Making Choices about your Lip Life
Which option you should use for your special 2019 Lip look? This is a decision only your doctor can make after consultation. Your case is individualized. And only your doctor will help you understand how skin texture, sensitivity, elasticity, and structure should dictate your decision.
These procedures will cause the skin around your lips to exfoliate. So, new skin below will be revealed. The new skin is smoother and has fewer wrinkles.
Regardless of how your skin is exfoliated, the above gently invasive procedures will probably have a little longer recovery time than any injectable filler product. Of course, the advantage of skin resurfacing is that the results might last for more months or years. You will only require occasional re-treatment to touch up “your look.”
Options Are Key to Choosing Your Lip Enhancement
As we move towards New Years, the option of Juvederm Volbella XC has been very popular with our clients. Its remarkable staying power and quick results are obviously the reasons. However, once again we encourage you to discuss your options with your plastic surgeon. And, make a plan that extends into the New Year. Together, you and your surgeon and the professional healthcare staff of Altiora Plastic Surgery and Medspa can keep your lips looking fresh and confident throughout the years.
