Hi! I was wondering if I would have to repeat the lip injections if I decide to get them? If so-how often? What happens if you do not repeat the injections? What is the best filler for long lasting and natural results?

Answer: Will I have to repeat lip injections after having a lip augmentation?
For augmentation of the lips, I like to use Juvederm. It will give you a great looking and natural result. If you do not repeat the injections, your lips will go back to the way they were prior to your treatment. Juvederm will last 6-7 months on average, and sometimes longer depending on the patient. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck!

Answer: Lip injections
Most of the injectable lip fillers last approximately six to nine months before you need to do it again. These are quick and easy to do in the office and there is no down time. NEVER let anyone inject silicone into your lips. It is permanent and, while it might look good initially, complications usually arise over time and it is almost impossible to remove. Fat is a material that can also be inject into the lips to augment them. Everyone has a little fat they can donate for this! Fat is fragile stuff and a lot of it may go away. You might have to repeat the procedure two or three times to get the augmentation you want. Still, fat is your own material so your body doesn't reject it. Once it is in place, it should be permanent. There are also lip implants that can be used. I like the PermaLip implants. They can be inserted under local anesthesia in the office. They are very soft and pliable and work very well in my hands. The only downside of these is that they might migrate making your lips uneven. I usually anchor these implants with a stitch on each end. There are also procedures that can be done to surgically roll out your lips for a fuller look. These procedures are more invasive and generally need slight touch-ups in the office afterwards but give nice, permanent results.
