Lip Injections

Dr. Lewen uses a series of advanced injection techniques to perform this minimally invasive procedure in the office. His sub-specialty training, keen aesthetic eye, and unique attention to detail will ensure that you will maintain the appropriate shape and contour of your lips to give you the best and most natural enhancement.

The cost of lip injections in Miami is highly variable. As such, we provide this information after the consultation with Dr. Lewen. For your convenience, we offer financing options for lip enhancement and our other services.

Depending on your specific anatomy and cosmetic concerns, Dr. Lewen uses a methodical approach that can create more definition, add fullness, maintain structure and replace lost volume, while providing a lifting effect. Modest lip augmentation can also be done in some cases if desired. Altogether, these changes will help to create a beautiful rejuvenation and natural enhancement of one of your most important facial features!

Before your treatment, the office staff will apply some numbing cream to the areas that are being treated. Afterward, these areas will be carefully prepped to ensure that all makeup and oils are removed from the skin and that the skin surface is sterile.

For this sensitive area of the face, Dr. Lewen only utilizes those FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid gel facial filler products that have been scientifically studied and shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of the lips. Many of these products now come pre-mixed with numbing medicine, and in some cases, Dr. Lewen will add some additional numbing medicine for optimum patient comfort. Another benefit to using hyaluronic acid gel products is that these injections are potentially reversible, which significantly reduces the risk of undesirable side effects. For certain areas, Dr. Lewen will utilize a blunt-tipped cannula for lip enhancement. This advanced injection technique has the added benefits of improved comfort and less bruising when compared to the use of a needle. Ice is also used as an additional form of anesthesia for certain areas that can be more sensitive in order to provide the easiest and most comfortable experience during lip enhancement injections. For patients who are the most sensitive, Dr. Lewen will rarely perform dental blocks to completely numb the lips before performing lip enhancement injections.

After your procedure is completed, Dr. Lewen’s staff will provide you with ice to apply to the treated lip areas, and you will be given a detailed post-procedure instruction sheet.

Every patient is somewhat different in terms of the healing time required after a lip augmentation procedure. Procedures that require more product volume will typically have slightly more healing time required. Although Dr. Lewen utilizes advanced injection techniques to minimize bruising as much as possible, this can still occur with these injections, and you should also expect some degree of swelling in the treated area afterward. Applying ice to the treated area immediately afterward and for the first 24 to 48 hours will significantly reduce the risk of additional bruising and swelling in the area. Arnica, a homeopathic remedy, may also help to alleviate swelling and bruising somewhat faster. There is little to no downtime required after lip enhancement injections, and you can resume normal exercise 24 hours after treatment. You should expect your final lip enhancement results to settle in at about one to two weeks after your treatment.
