Full, plump lips are often associated with attractiveness and confidence. At RIVKIN Aesthetics, we understand the desire for thick, plump lips, which is why we offer lip injections to help you achieve the perfect pout.
Our lip enhancement treatments provide fabulous results without the need for surgery or lengthy recovery periods. With our expertly administered injections, you can enjoy thicker, fuller, and sexier lips in no time.
WHAT CAUSES THIN LIPS?
Aging also changes the shape of the lips and mouth, as the skin, fat and muscle of the area thin and as structural support for the lip structures diminishes with age related bone loss. Over time vertical lines often appear above and below the lips, and the corners of the mouth can begin to droop. All of these problems can be corrected safely and painlessly without surgery or excessive swelling.
The ideal lip shape varies depending on the person’s racial background. There are, however, some general guidelines that hold up cross-culturally. For example, a pleasing lip width is where the corners line up with the midpoint of the eye.
An example of culturally variable aesthetics is that for Caucasians, the lower lip should project slightly beyond the upper lip with a well-defined cupid’s bow. Fullness should taper off at the corners and the ratio of upper to lower lip should be 40:60. For our Asian and African American clients, the upper and lower lips can be equally full.
Our injectors evaluate your facial features comprehensively and recommend improvements with the goal of achieving overall harmony. This approach, known as facial balancing or harmonization, focuses on optimizing the symmetry and proportion of your facial features to create a balanced and natural appearance.
LIP FILLER FOR THIN LIPS
For patients concerned with lip shape or volume, there are safe and painless ways to address the issue. Thin or uneven lips can be enhanced with lip filler injections.
Dr. Rivkin and his staff are experts in the most advanced non-surgical lip enhancement techniques. They can enhance your lips, making them fuller, eliminating vertical perioral lines, and correcting drooping corners of the mouth.
All injectors at Westside Aesthetics are known among our clientele as masters of subtle, natural lip enhancement. Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, you can trust Dr. Rivkin and his team to deliver outstanding results tailored to your unique goals and preferences. But in any case, it is imperative that no one comes out of our office looking overdone or fake.
LIP FLIP FOR THIN LIPS
A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure typically performed using neurotoxin injections, such as Botox. Unlike lip fillers, which add volume to the lips, a lip flip involves injecting a small amount of neurotoxin into the muscles around the upper lip.
This relaxes the muscles and causes the lip to roll slightly upward, giving the appearance of a fuller upper lip without actually adding volume. The procedure is usually quick, relatively painless, and can be done in a single session. It’s often chosen by individuals seeking a subtle enhancement to their lip shape and appearance.
If you are new to lip enhancements and considering non-surgical options, a Botox Lip flip can be an excellent treatment to begin with. Unlike traditional fillers, the Botox Lip flip subtly enhances the appearance of the lips by relaxing the muscles, offering a natural-looking result that’s perfect for those seeking a gentle introduction to lip enhancements.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM
YOUR THIN LIP TREATMENT
During your initial consultation, Dr. Rivkin will evaluate your unique needs and desired end results, as well as explain the procedure. He will also help you determine which type of filler will work best with your body and skin type to achieve the look you desire. You will have the opportunity to view before and after photos, so you will know exactly what to expect from the treatment.
Before the procedure, we will always numb your lips with topical numbing cream so that your experience will be as painless as possible. You will still feel mild discomfort since the lips are the most sensitive areas of the face, but it should be easily manageable.
Lip augmentation with Juvederm or Restylane Refyne takes about 15 minutes to perform and usually lasts about 6 to 12 months. When the product dissolves, it does so evenly and symmetrically, without bumps or irregularities. There is the possibility of mild swelling and bruising, as the lips are very vascular. These side effects are uncommon, but if they happen, they should subside within a few days.
Lip filler injection is one of the most popular aesthetic enhancements. Many patients are concerned that they will look overdone or resemble a duck after the procedure, but this is absolutely not the case at RIVKIN Aesthetics.
The results of a correctly performed lip augmentation procedure should be very natural. Friends may notice that the person looks “fresher,” or better, but they should not be able to figure out that a cosmetic procedure has been performed.
When an injector does not adhere to the proper ratios, symmetry and correct facial proportion, then lips can appear unnatural or overdone. At RIVKIN Aesthetics, you can rest assured that our practitioners are highly skilled and will never inject too much product.
In fact, Dr. Rivkin and other injectors at Rivkin Aesthetics have been known to turn away patients that seek an unnatural or overdone look.
