Lip Augmentation - Delaware and the Philadelphia Main Line

Plump lips are a sign of health and vitality, but as people age, lips tend to thin considerably. Dr. Jonathan Pontell offers exciting lip augmentation treatments to give our Philadelphia Main Line patients plump, kissable lips. Our Media, Pennsylvania office near Delaware offer exciting cosmetic surgery developments such as Restylane®, Juvederm™, and vermillion lip advancement. Lip augmentation is often performed in conjunction with another facial cosmetic surgery procedure, such as a facelift, blepharoplasty, brow lift, or rhinoplasty in order to achieve more dramatic overall results. Contact facial plastic surgery expert, Jonathan Pontell at The Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery Center, Inc. to learn more about our lip augmentation options.

Restylane® and Juvederm™

Restylane® and Juvederm™ are injectable soft tissue fillers used in facial wrinkle treatments, as well as for lip augmentation. At our Media, Pennsylvania office, near Delaware and the Philadelphia Main Line suburbs, we primarily use Restylane® and/or Juvederm™ for lip enhancement. Comprised of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body, both Restylane® and Juvederm™ add volume to the lips with results that last for up to six months. Treatment poses little risk for allergic reactions in patients who are sensitive to animal by-products. Restylane® and Juvederm™ can be injected in a short 15 to 30 minute procedure to produce results that are visible immediately and that last for up to one year. Because Restylane® and Juvederm™ also work as effective wrinkle treatments, many of our patients undergo Restylane® or Juvederm™ injections around the eyes, mouth, or forehead to improve the appearance of the entire face in one appointment.

Vermillion Lip Advancement Technique

Vermillion lip advancement is a surgical procedure that increases the size of the pink part of the lips (the "vermillion"). In this lip augmentation procedure, Dr. Pontell makes an incision around the outside of the lips. He removes a small portion of skin around the border of the vermillion. By stretching the vermillion, and suturing it to the skin, the lips appear larger. Additionally, unlike the results attained through treatment with injectable fillers such as Restylane® or Juvederm™, the results of this type of lip augmentation procedure are permanent. Contact our office near Delaware and the Philadelphia Main Line to learn more about vermillion lip advancement and whether you may be a candidate for this procedure.
