Lip Fillers, Lip Augmentation & Lip Injections

The popularity of the perfect pout has skyrocketed thanks to influencers and celebrities sharing their experiences with lip fillers openly on various social media platforms. Many individuals are born with naturally thin or asymmetrical lips. Older individuals also experience age-related volume and collagen loss, contributing to a less full pout and the development of lines around the lips. In the past, patients turned to plastic surgery for lip augmentation, which was costly and carried severe side effects and long recovery times. Thanks to the advent of injectable dermal fillers and Botox, beautiful, natural-looking lip augmentation has never been more widely available. Dr. Green is an expert NYC injector and has over 25 years of experience performing lip augmentation procedures to achieve hydrated, soft, plump, kissable lips.

The two most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures for lip augmentation include dermal fillers and Botox. Fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero are formulated with hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume and create a fuller, plumper pout. Botox injections work to relax the muscles of the upper lip, allowing the lip to flip outwards and give the appearance of a more volumized lip. These procedures have very few potential side effects and essentially no downtime, revolutionizing cosmetic dermatology and making many invasive plastic surgery procedures obsolete. Whether it is correcting and replacing lost volume with thinner lips, helping to remove fine lines around the mouth with dermal fillers, or just increasing the natural look of a beautiful, fuller pout, Dr. Green is here to help.

Dr. Michele Green is a world-renowned, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience in non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including dermal fillers and Botox. Dr. Green is an expert in lip fillers and is known as the “lip queen” due to her natural looking and expertly performed lip augmentation. Her “less is more” philosophy regarding cosmetic injections of dermal fillers has led to her consistently being voted one of the best cosmetic dermatologists in New York by Castle Connolly, Super Doctors, New York Magazine, and The New York Times. When you choose to work with Dr. Green, you can feel confident that as your injector, she has both the experience and the expertise to deliver natural-looking, beautiful results.

What is Lip Augmentation?

Generally speaking, lip augmentation refers to a procedure where a lip filler is injected into the lips to add extra volume to the lip area. However, lip augmentation treatments cover a wide spectrum of different procedures and can help improve several aspects of the lips. This can include the shape of the lips, the structure of the lips, the overall volume of the lips, the cupid’s bow, and the lines around the lips. These lines around the lips may be caused by volume loss, age, smoking, or photodamage.

Lip augmentation has become a highly sought-after cosmetic procedure in New York City and around the world, largely thanks to social media exposure and beauty trends. In the past, lip augmentation included plastic surgery procedures such as lip implants or fat grafts. These procedures were associated with adverse side effects, surgical scars, and long recovery times. Today, the most popular lip augmentation procedures are non-invasive and require little to no downtime or side effects. Dermal fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid and are injected into the lips to add extra volume, definition, and fullness. Botox injections can be placed into targeted muscles of the lips to “flip the lip” and create the illusion of a fuller pout. Anyone looking for a more dramatic pout who is suffering from thin lips or is noticing volume reduction in their lips associated with aging can benefit from having lip augmentation. Dr. Michele Green is an expert in lip injections, and after a consultation in her New York City Upper East Side office, she can discuss with you the best ways to treat this area. Whether you want just a “lip flip” with Botox, more volume with voluptuous lips like Kylie Jenner, or simply a subtle lip enhancement, Dr. Green will help you decide what is the best aesthetic choice for you based on your facial features and desired results.

What are lip fillers?

The accessibility of lip augmentation has never been better, thanks to the advent of hyaluronic acid lip fillers. Lip fillers are dermal fillers specifically designed to enhance lip volume and definition and create a more luscious pout. Lip fillers are typically made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring humectant that provides the skin with essential moisture and youthful suppleness. When hyaluronic acid is injected, it binds with water molecules, increasing the volume of the treatment area. There are many different lip filler products, each with a specific concentration and linkage of hyaluronic acid molecules to achieve an aesthetic goal. Some lip fillers are best for creating a volumized pout, while others are better for more subtle, natural-looking results. An expert injector such as Dr. Green will have the experience and knowledge to recommend the dermal filler product that will give you your ideal results.

Which Types of Dermal Fillers are commonly used for Lip Augmentation in NYC?

There are many options for dermal fillers that work very well to provide patients with plump, smooth, symmetrical lips. For patients looking for a full pout, Juvederm Ultra Plus and Restylane Kysse are excellent options to enhance the size and shape of the lips. To erase fine lines around the mouth, Dr. Green may turn to Restylane Silk or Belotero Balance. Patients seeking a softer, more natural appearance for the lips may be best suited for Juvederm Volbella. During your initial consultation with Dr. Green, you will discuss your treatment goals, and she will determine the best lip filler for you.

• Restylane— Restylane was the first filler in the Restylane family created to restore lost volume and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles in areas such as the corners of the mouth, laugh lines, and tear troughs. Restylane can be used to increase lip volume and define the appearance of the “cupid’s bow” for natural-looking lip augmentation—results with Restylane typically last six to nine months.

• Juvederm Ultra XC— Juvederm Ultra XC is one of the most popular hyaluronic acid fillers for greater lip enhancement. This filler is excellent for increasing volume to create a full, luscious pout. Juvederm Ultra XC is created with a very highly cross-linked form of hyaluronic acid, meaning that the filler is much less likely to be broken down as quickly as other lip fillers. Juvederm Ultra XC generally lasts between nine to twelve months.

• Restylane Silk— Restylane Silk is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed for subtle lip augmentation. Its formulation contains a small particle size to create a very natural-looking lip enhancement. Restylane Silk is also best for smoothing out the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, commonly referred to as “smoker’s lines.” Restylane Silk lasts between six and nine months, and therefore, most patients may need one to two treatments per year.

• Restylane Kysse—Restylane Kysse is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler exclusively designed to enhance overall lip volume, definition, and fullness and treat the fine lines around the lips. It is used to provide more hydration, often giving the “Russian doll” effect. This filler not only plumps the lips but also improves lip color and texture, making the lips look more luscious. Generally, Restylane Kysse lasts up to one year.
• Belotero Balance—Belotero Balance® is a hyaluronic acid injectable filler best suited for treating vertical lip lines, or “smoker’s lines,” above the lip and marionette lines, which start at the corners of the mouth and extend down toward the chin. Belotero can also be injected into the corners of the mouth to enhance a person’s smile and stop it from constantly turning down. Results from Belotero should last approximately six months before a repeat treatment is required.

• Juvederm Volbella – Juvederm Volbella is a hyaluronic acid filler that is FDA-approved for restoring lip shape and correcting lip asymmetry. One of the advantages of this particular treatment is that it is great at treating perioral lines, or lines around the mouth. These lip lines often develop from smoking or general skin damage over time. This filler is also a great lip filler and has been designed to give the lips a soft and natural feel. In addition, the filler is longer lasting and can provide enhancement for up to one year after the injection.

Botox for lip augmentation

For patients who are seeking some subtle volume or lift, a Botox lip flip procedure may be better suited. Having a lip flip with Botox is an ideal approach for patients who are looking for just a small lip lift in the top lip, providing the appearance of slight extra volume in the lips. This amazing treatment uses a small amount of Botox injected above the border of the top lip. Botox is a neuromodulator that inhibits nerve signaling in an injected muscle to limit contractions and relax the muscles. For a lip flip procedure, Botox is typically injected into the corners of the mouth, the Cupid’s bow, and the vermillion border or edges of the upper lip. Once injected, the muscles in the area relax, allowing for the upper lip to flip outwards and give the appearance of extra volume in your lips.

Botox can also be used to improve a gummy smile, a term referring to the appearance of an above-average amount of gum tissue above the top teeth. A gummy smile is easily corrected with a small amount of Botox injected into the Yonsei Point, a triangular area between the nose and upper lip where three muscles meet. Injecting just a bit of Botox into the area prevents lifting the lip too high when smiling, effectively masking the appearance of a gummy smile. The cosmetic effects of Botox last approximately four months, and patients engage in regular treatment sessions to maintain the best cosmetic results. A Botox lip flip can also be combined with lip filler injections to maximize cosmetic results.

Who is the Best Candidate for lip injections?

The best candidate for lip injections is a healthy individual 21 years or older who is looking to improve the appearance of their pout. Patients should not be pregnant or breastfeeding, as its safety has not yet been established. Patients should not get lip injections if they have a history of bleeding disorders, allergic reactions, scarring, discoloration disorders, or an allergy to lidocaine, gram-positive bacteria, or botulinum toxin. Before scheduling any lip injection procedure, Dr. Green will thoroughly assess your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure.

What is the process of having lip augmentation in NYC?

Prior to your lip filler treatment, you will first have a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Michele Green in her discreet dermatology office located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in New York City. Dr. Green will assess your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic concerns to choose the best treatment option for your lip augmentation. Medical photography will be taken during your consultation to track future progress. Once a customized treatment plan for you has been developed, then you may have treatment on the same day as your consultation or schedule your procedure for a later date, depending on your preference and time allowance.

In preparation for your lip filler treatment, it is recommended to avoid blood thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, fish oil, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Vitamin E, multivitamins, and Motrin, for one week before your appointment. It is also suggested to refrain from consuming any alcohol for several days in advance of your lip filler injections. These steps will help best prevent any potential bruising or swelling. Patients prone to bruising can take Arnika Forte, an herbal over-the-counter supplement, for several days before the procedure to prevent and accelerate the healing of bruises. Patients with a history of cold sores should inform Dr. Green beforehand, as she can pre-treat with Valtrex to avoid any outbreak.

On the day of your lip filler treatment, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area an hour before your appointment time. When you arrive at the office, the area will be cleaned and sterilized for the procedure. Dr. Green will then inject the lips and ensure that both the upper and lower lips are injected in a beautiful, natural-looking, and well-balanced manner. Immediately upon completion of the injections, an ice compress is placed directly onto the injection sites to minimize any localized swelling. Dr. Green will review any aftercare instructions for your specific lip injection treatment.

What are the side effects of lip injections?

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment for lip augmentation and are not associated with many side effects. Like all injectable treatments, there is a risk of swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site following treatment. Patients can reduce the risk of swelling and bruising by icing the treatment site following the procedure, avoiding excessive heat for 48 hours post-treatment, and refraining from blood thinners in the days before the injections. Any mild side effects of dermal filler treatment should subside without the need for any medical intervention within a week of receiving the injections. Patients should continue avoiding blood thinners, NSAIDs like Aspirin or Ibuprofen, and vitamins like vitamin E for one week to avoid bruising. Patients can continue taking Arnika Forte supplements to help prevent and heal bruising. The risk of more significant side effects, such as injection into a blood vessel, increases when visiting an inexperienced injector, which is why patients must do their research and select an injector with the experience and expertise required to effectively and safely perform their treatment.

As with dermal fillers, common side effects from Botox injections include redness, mild swelling, and bruising. More serious side effects, such as difficulty speaking or smiling, drooling, and muscle weakness, can occur when an inexperienced injector performs injections. It is critical to have lip injections, whether Botox or lip fillers, performed by a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green, who has been providing lip injections to her patients for over 25 years.

What not to do after lip fillers

After having lip filler injections done, it can be tempting to resume activity as usual. There are, however, several aftercare recommendations that are important to adhere to in order to maintain the best results. Dr. Green advises her patients who have lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers to refrain from aerobic exercise for at least 48 hours following their lip filler treatment. Eating after a lip filler procedure is fine, but avoid using straws for drinking beverages for 24 hours. It is important to abstain from kissing for at least 48 hours to avoid placing too much pressure on the lips. Patients should also refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours following treatment.

How long does swelling from lip injections last?

Swelling after lip injections can last from a few days to two weeks after the procedure. Immediately after the injections, an ice pack will be placed on the lips to minimize swelling. Patients should additionally avoid any activity that increases body temperature, such as aerobic exercise, hot tubs, saunas, or hot showers, to avoid increasing swelling in the area. In addition, sleeping with your head elevated and on your back can also decrease the degree of swelling.

How long does it take lip filler to settle?

It can take up to two weeks for lip fillers to settle, after which the final effects will be visible. During this time, it is important to avoid aerobic exercise or heat for 48 hours after injections to minimize any swelling. Blood thinners such as Aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, and vitamins should be avoided for one week after your injections to prevent bruising and any unnecessary swelling.

How long does a lip injection last?

The length of time that lip injections last depends on the type of lip enhancement treatment you receive. Lip fillers are the most popular lip augmentation option because they provide stunning results without a significant risk of adverse events. Lip fillers can last for six to twelve months, depending on the filler used. Typically, patients will schedule a lip filler appointment once or twice a year to maintain the results from treatment. Botox injections last for three to four months before another treatment is needed. When you consult with Dr. Green for your lip injections, she will map out a treatment schedule to help you keep and maintain your new pout.

Is Botox for the lips safe?

Absolutely! Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world today due to its safety and efficacy in rejuvenating the face. While Botox is used “off-label” to create a lip flip or reduce the appearance of a gummy smile, healthcare providers use it every day to help their patients achieve the perfect pout. As Botox is a neurotoxin, it is essential to have your Botox lip injections performed by a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green to avoid any unwanted side effects. Dr. Green has over 25 years of experience providing her patients with injectable treatments. She was one of the first providers in New York City to incorporate Botox into her patient’s treatment plans. She will expertly inject your lips to help you look and feel like your best self.

Are lip fillers safe?

Yes! Lip fillers are entirely safe, and the dermal filler products used to perform lip augmentation have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. These fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that hydrates and plumps the skin. One caveat, however, is that you should seek lip augmentation treatment from an experienced and board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, such as Dr. Green. Having treatment in a medical setting, rather than in a med spa or clinic, will help to ensure that your procedure is safe and effective. It may be more inexpensive to have your lip injections done by someone more inexperienced; however, you cannot guarantee that in these settings, patient safety and satisfaction are top concerns. Additionally, using an inappropriate dermal filler in the treatment area or accidental injection of lip filler into a blood vessel can occur with inexperienced injectors and cause more serious side effects to follow. During your consultation with Dr. Green, she will assess your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate for lip fillers. She will create the perfect lip filler treatment plan to safely and effectively give you the perfect pout.

How much do lip fillers cost?

Many patients ask, how much does lip filler cost? The cost of lip injections depends on a variety of factors, including your treatment goals, geographic location, the type of dermal filler used, and the institution at which you receive treatment. Typically, lip fillers cost around $1000 per syringe, and one or two syringes may be needed for your specific lip augmentation goals. When you have your initial consultation with Dr. Green, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, and Dr. Green will recommend the dermal filler and treatment plan that will best suit your needs. Once your treatment plan for how much lip filler costs has been established, Dr. Green’s office can provide you with a better estimate of the total cost of treatment.

Are lip fillers permanent?

No. Lip fillers are not permanent and typically last for six to twelve months, depending on the filler used. One of the greatest benefits of having lip filler is that as our aesthetic tastes and cosmetic goals change over time, we can make amendments to the treatment approach so that they more closely align with our evolving wishes. Additionally, fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance within the body that provides it with essential moisture and youthful suppleness. Hyaluronic acid is dissolvable with Hylenex or Vitrase injections. Hylenex is the brand name for an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase, which is able to effectively dissolve hyaluronic dermal fillers, including those used for the lips, and reverse the effects of unwanted treatment. Hyaluronidase can be used in cases where lip filler is over-injected, inappropriately placed, or if a patient is unsatisfied with the results. In order to prevent the need to dissolve your lip filler, it is important to be selective when choosing your injector. When you have injections with an expert injector, like Dr. Green in New York City, you ensure that your procedure is carefully planned and can prevent the need to dissolve your lip fillers.

Which lip fillers last the longest?

Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Volbella are the two most popular Juvederm lip filler products used. They typically produce cosmetic effects that last up to 12 months. Patients can keep up the best results by engaging in regular maintenance treatment sessions as needed. Most patients choose to have their lip filler treatment touched up every six months or so to maintain their ideal results. However, the timeline for maintenance treatment sessions is completely customizable depending on the needs and aesthetic goals of an individual. When you work with Dr. Green, she will help you develop a timeline for your lip filler treatments that will keep you looking and feeling like the very best version of yourself.

What are the best lip fillers?

This is a trick question! The best lip filler for you will depend on your unique facial anatomy and your aesthetic goals. Patients who have a naturally thin set of lips are typically best suited to a lip filler product like Juvederm Volbella that will provide a subtle and natural yet beautiful enhancement. Other patients with naturally fuller lips may want something that will give them a more glamorous and voluminous effect, like Juvederm Ultra. Older patients are typically seeking a solution for replacing lost volume or treating fine lines around the mouth. Since each patient is different, there is no “one size fits all” approach to lip filler injections. The most efficient way to determine which hyaluronic acid dermal filler is best for your lip filler treatment is by setting up an in-person consultation with Dr. Green. When you work with Dr. Michele Green, she will help you decide on the best lip filler based on your facial anatomy, skin turgor, lip shape, volume loss, texture of the skin, and desired cosmetic results.

What other procedures can be combined with Lip Fillers?

In general, aging lips also show signs of visible aging around the mouth. Many of these patients are bothered by the appearance of “smoker’s lines” around the mouth. These perioral lines are generally the result of smoking, sun damage, or the lack of/ an improper anti-aging skincare routine. Luckily, laser resurfacing treatments such as Fraxel and eMatrix may be recommended to diminish perioral lines. Skin-tightening procedures such as Thermage can additionally be used to rejuvenate the skin around the lips. These cosmetic treatment options are often utilized in combination with lip filler or Botox injections for optimal rejuvenation results.

The Fraxel laser is a non-invasive laser that uses fractionated energy to heat the dermis and stimulate collagen production. As collagen levels increase, patients can look forward to smoother skin and a more even tone and texture. The Fraxel laser has two wavelengths, both 1550nm and 1927nm, to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size and reduce sun damage and discoloration. Multiple treatment sessions spaced one month apart are required for the best cosmetic results.

The eMatrix laser is another excellent resurfacing laser that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the dermal layers of the skin. It can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and textural irregularities and is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin types. Similar to the Fraxel laser, eMatrix treatment requires three to five sessions for the best cosmetic results.

Thermage is the gold-standard laser for skin-tightening treatments in cosmetic dermatology. This laser uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate the production of new collagen in the skin. With increased collagen production, Thermage can produce firmer, tighter skin with long-lasting results. After a single Thermage treatment, patients can expect results to last for a year and a half or more. Patients often engage in yearly Thermage sessions to maintain and enhance the results of treatment.

Other lip filler FAQs:

What is used for lip augmentation?

Most lip fillers used for lip augmentation are formulated with the active ingredient hyaluronic acid, which hydrates and plumps the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts moisture. When injected into the lips, the hyaluronic acid-based filler binds water molecules to boost the volume and smooth out the skin. The most common hyaluronic acid fillers used for lip augmentation include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero.

What is the difference between getting lip filler and lip injections?

Lip filler and lip injections are two different names for the same thing: dermal fillers for lip enhancement. There are many reasons why one might be looking for lip enhancement. For some, lip fillers are an excellent opportunity to achieve plump, full lips for the perfect pout, correct asymmetry, and provide an ideal shape to the cupid’s bow. For others, lip injections can combat age-related volume loss or fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Whatever your aesthetic goals, Dr. Green has the lip filler that will best meet your needs.

Are lip implants better than fillers?

A lip implant is a surgical procedure that involves an incision and the placement of silicone implants under the skin of the lips. The process is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the incision is made going from the corner of the mouth inward, creating a tunnel into which the silicone is placed. Dissolvable stitches are then set to close the incision. While lip implants are a permanent solution, which may be appealing to some, there is a risk of developing a permanent scar when the incision is made at the corners of the mouth. There is significant recovery time following the procedure. Once the silicone implants are placed, an additional surgical procedure is required to adjust or remove them, which further increases the risk of adverse events. With dermal fillers, sometimes known as soft tissue fillers, patients are able to achieve a perfect pout without the need for downtime or the risk of significant adverse events, leading most patients to prefer dermal fillers for lip augmentation.

Do lip fillers hurt?

Lip augmentation with dermal fillers is a relatively painless procedure. An hour before the appointment, Dr. Green will have the patient apply a topical numbing cream that she will clean off upon arrival. The dermal fillers used in Dr. Green’s office are additionally formulated with lidocaine, which is a numbing agent within the filler that increases patient comfort during the procedure. After the injections, Dr. Green will immediately ice the treatment area to minimize the risk of swelling and bruising.

How long do lip fillers last?

The longevity of lip filler results depends on the type of filler used and the patient’s metabolism. Lip fillers such as Belotero last only six months, while others like Restylane Kysse or Juvederm Ultra can last up to one year. To maintain the results from treatment, Dr. Green welcomes her patients to schedule a lip filler session one to two times a year.

Can you get lip fillers while pregnant?

Patients should not have lip filler treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding. Although hyaluronic acid fillers do not migrate from the treatment area when the proper technique is used, studies have not been performed to evaluate the potential effects of cosmetic injectables on a developing baby or while nursing. Patients can safely resume their lip augmentation treatments once they are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can I eat after lip fillers?

Yes, you can absolutely eat after having lip fillers injected. However, for the first 24 hours after treatment, it is best to avoid any food that will put a lot of pressure on the lips.

How long do lip fillers take to heal?

Lip fillers can take up to two weeks to fully heal. After injections, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising that will resolve on its own within two weeks of the procedure. To expedite the healing process, patients should refrain from aerobic exercise, alcohol, and smoking for 48 hours after treatment. Patients prone to bruising can take Arnika Forte, an herbal supplement, to reduce the risk of bruising and accelerate the healing of any bruising that does occur. Additionally, patients can sleep with their heads slightly elevated to reduce swelling.

How often should I get lip fillers?

Patients typically have their lip filler injections performed once or twice a year. As lip fillers only last between six and twelve months, it is important to have a treatment schedule to maintain your desired pout and cosmetic results. Dr. Green will work with you and create a tailored treatment plan to help you keep and enhance the results from your lip fillers.

What would I look like with lip fillers?

The “look” that you will have from lip fillers is customizable and entirely up to you. Generally, younger patients are interested in achieving an improved size and shape of their lips with a fuller, plumper pout. Older patients typically look for a finer, more subtle lip augmentation to restore age-related volume loss and enhance the contour of the lips. Some individuals may also look to correct unevenness or asymmetry of the lips. When Dr. Green performs lip injections, she employs a “less-is-more” approach to ensure that your results enhance your natural beauty. Many patients feel more confident after cosmetic facial injections, especially lip injections, as they have a renewed sense of attractiveness. Lip augmentation has little or no downtime, with minimal swelling and bruising. The results of the lip injections will typically last between six to twelve months, depending on which filler is injected.

Where to get lip fillers injected?

It is best to have lip filler injections in a medical setting by an experienced healthcare professional, such as a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist like Dr. Green. This will help reduce the potential for any unwanted side effects and achieve the best cosmetic results. It may be more inexpensive to have your lip filler injections with a nurse injector in a medical spa setting. However, it is worth having treatment with an expert injector to avoid complications or disappointing results. Dr. Green is an internationally renowned board-certified cosmetic dermatologist in New York City, recognized and appreciated for her artful approach to cosmetic injections, including lip fillers. Embracing a ‘less is more’ philosophy when it comes to cosmetic treatment for rejuvenation, Dr. Green has helped thousands of patients achieve their aesthetic goals so that they look and feel like the best version of themselves and have the greatest confidence in their long-lasting, natural-looking lips.

How do I get started with the best lip injections in NYC today?

Whether it’s improving the fullness of the lips or defining the shape and contour of the lips, dermal fillers are the perfect treatment option for lip augmentation.
