Information, costs, and side effects
Basic procedures and techniques
Anesthesia: Local
Location: Office or surgical center
Surgery time: 30 minutes - 2 hours
Lip augmentation procedures increase the size of the lips. The upper or lower lip may be treated alone, or both upper and lower lips may enlarged at the same time.
Lip augmentation can be achieved by injecting or surgically implanting materials into the lips. Some procedures are temporary, others are permanent.
The average cost of lip injection
Lip injection can range from: $300-$5,000
Cost per procedure:
Collagen injection $333
Lip augmentation (other than injectable materials) $1,570
Average Total Cost : $2,000
Surgeons fee: $1,600
Facility fee: $400
Collagen injections - Prepared from the collagen found in cow skin, collagen injections are used to temporarily augment the lips. Although it is purified, this collagen may cause allergic reactions in some people. For that reason, a sensitivity test should be performed before the actual lip augmentation procedure.
Collagen is injected into the lip with small needles. Because the body slowly absorbs the collagen, the results generally last between one and three months. The procedure may be repeated as needed.
Fat injections - Fat can also be injected into the lip. The fat is harvested from another area of the body (often the abdomen or thighs) and is purified before it is injected into the lips. An advantage to this procedure is that there is no possibility of an allergic reaction. As with collagen, results are temporary but usually lasts longer than collagen injections.
Artecoll injections - Artecoll is composed mainly of tiny synthetic beads (polymethyl methacrylate) that stay in the lips, and raise them. This technique lasts longer than fat or collagen injections.
Autologen injections - Autologen is collagen extracted from the patient's own skin, often from excess skin removed in a facelift. The results are relatively long lasting, and there is no risk of an allergic reaction.
Dermalogen injections - Dermalogen is extracted from the skin of a cadaver. The donor material is screened and processed to avoid the spread of disease. The effects are temporary, and are similar to the effects of collagen injections.
Fascia injections - Fascia (white connective tissue) extracted from a cadaver can be injected or surgically implanted.
HylaForm injections - Tissue made up of a molecular component of the human body. Extracted from a cadaver.
Restylane injections - Restylane is a clear gel; the hyaluronic acid in Restylane is similar to that naturally found in the body.
