Why Choose Lip Implants?
Unlike fillers and injections, lip implants can dramatically enhance the volume and shape of your lips with more permanent results. Fillers are absorbed and expelled from the body over time through natural processes and usually require follow-up treatments to maintain the best results. In contrast, lip implants require only a single treatment with results that can last for many years to come.
Lip implants can dramatically increase the plumpness, youth, and symmetry of your lips to provide balance for your other features.
The implants themselves are biocompatible sacs filled with saline, a mixture of salt and water, which should not lose shape or volume over time. However, while the results are usually more refined and predictable than those achieved through fillers, they must be placed surgically for the best effect. Lip implants also consequently have a higher risk of complications than fillers.
As a board-certified surgeon, though, Dr. Passaretti can minimize these risks so that you can achieve a dramatic transformation. Incisions are strategically placed on the insides of your lips where scars will not be noticeable. Dr. Passaretti can discuss the benefits of both fillers and implants during your consultation and recommend the treatment most appropriate for your cosmetic goals.
