The Allure of Lips & Lashes

Long lashes and full lips — two classical symbols of beauty that have withstood the test of time. Your cosmetic options for enhancing your lips and lashes are safe, FDA-approved treatments that offer quick results with minimal or no healing time necessary. Dr. Robert Aycock can help you improve the look of lips and lashes just in time for Valentine’s Day, with results that require little if any effort to maintain.

Latisse® for Lashes

Whether you were born with sparse or short lashes, or you’ve noticed thinning or lash loss over time, Latisse® from Allergan can help improve both fullness and length. Guided by Dr. Aycock’s careful instructions, you apply the Latisse® formula directly to the lash area. It works by increasing the length of the growth cycle of the eyelashes, thereby producing additional growth. No numbing is needed, but ongoing use is required to maintain results.

Luscious Lips

It’s a snap to get gorgeous, full lips with lip augmentation in the form of synthetic lip implants or injectable fillers. Dr. Aycock will explain the differences and help you choose the right method for your needs.

Lip Implants

PermaLip™ is a biocompatible, flexible silicone lip implant that can give you plump, youthful lips that are highly kissable, too. As the name implies, these implants are permanent, and there’s no risk of leakage or rupture. After you’ve chosen the ideal thickness and shape, Dr. Aycock inserts your implants in a short 30-minute procedures using only local anesthesia.

AlloDerm® is an FDA-approved implant material made from actual human collagen that can be used to create subtle or dramatic improvement, depending on your goals. During a quick surgical procedure that requires only local anesthesia, AlloDerm® is inserted into the upper and lower lips.

Lip Fillers

Injectable fillers such as Restylane® or Juvederm® are a very effective and natural-looking option for patients who desire more temporary lip augmentation and a noninvasive method.

“Those forehead wrinkles weren’t their yesterday, were they? And where’d those crow’s feet come from? My arms never used to flap like that when I wave…”

As you get older, skin loses those essential natural substances that are responsible for providing a full, plump, fresh facial appearance. Sunken cheeks, thinning lips, and a receding chin are all normal signs of aging. The good news is that you don’t have to just sit back and watch these changes occur.

With advanced facial augmentation procedures from Dr. Robert Aycock, you can combat facial fat loss and achieve a more youthful and attractive look. Cheek, chin, and lip augmentation are also good solutions for people who are not necessarily losing facial volume due to aging, but wish to enhance their genetic facial structure by strengthening these features.

Cheek Implants

Cheek implant surgery, or cheek augmentation, is performed to improve cheek contours and enhance facial symmetry. It may be performed to create the look of high cheekbones or to help diminish the appearance of other features that are overly prominent, such as a strong chin or large nose. Pre-formed implants are positioned under the soft tissue and held in place by this existing cheek tissue.

Chin Implants

A weak chin can be a source of self-consciousness for some people, and it is especially noticeable if other features are strong. If your chin seems small, a chin implant can help bring a sense of balance to your facial appearance and even minimize the look of a large nose. Pre-formed chin implants are inserted under the chin or inside the lower lip.

Lip Augmentation

If you’re tired of trying to fake full lips with lip-plumping glosses, augmentation can provide permanent, full, pouty lips. Patients with small, deflated lips, asymmetrical lips, wrinkling, or drooping can choose from synthetic implants or biological fillers to create a natural-looking lip enhancement. Lip enhancement injections (Restylane® and Juvederm®) will need to be repeated to maintain results, whereas synthetic implants (PermaLips™) and biological grafts (AlloDerm®) are permanent.

Keep in mind that you can combine augmentation procedures for a more dramatic result and reduced recovery time. If you’re ready to discuss the benefits of volume-enhancing implants, please contact Dr. Robert Aycock in the Bay Area today.

Plump, pouty lips are a symbol of attractiveness for women and a highly desired feature in cosmetic practices across the country. Volume loss in the lips is a common sign of aging, but you can find many ways to add volume and achieve youthful lip contour with the help of an experienced plastic surgeon.

Lip augmentation is a procedure that is gaining popularity thanks to the many innovative materials and techniques that have made this treatment accessible and affordable. Choose from noninvasive injectable options, or opt for a more permanent enhancement with lip surgery. This procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. Depending on the treatment type you choose, recovery can range from one day to one week.

Here are some of the ways you can achieve fuller lips:

Injectable Fillers

Injectable fillers use bovine or human collagen, hyaluronic acid, and synthetic substances to replace depleted collagen and create a fuller lip appearance. Injectable fillers such as Restylane®, or Juvederm®,have been shown to produce very natural-looking results, but they are temporary solutions that require regular repeat injections.

Surgical Collagen Replacement

During a surgical procedure, AlloDerm® is inserted into the upper and lower lips. AlloDerm achieves dramatic results using actual sheets of collagen that can last up to one year.

Permanent, Synthetic implants

These advanced medical materials create safe, biocompatible lip implants that can help patients get permanent plumpness. Material choices include GORE-TEX®, SoftForm®, or ePTFE (Perma Lips).
