Lip Augmentation in Atlanta, GA
Dr. Brandon Mang | Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery
Whether you have always had thin lips or you’ve lost volume in your lips over time, lip augmentation can help create a more shapely, fuller pout. Surgical lip enhancement can be accomplished with silicone implants, a fat transfer, or a lip lift (Vermilion Advancement) to give you the look you desire with long-lasting results. If you prefer nonsurgical lip enhancement, there are several injectable fillers that can temporarily add volume to your mouth for a fuller look. If you’re interested in surgical or nonsurgical augmentation, contact Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery in Duluth, GA to schedule an appointment for a consultation with plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang.

Can I Get a Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation, both surgical and nonsurgical, can help give you fuller lips and a better shape to your mouth. Based on your concerns and goals, you can select lip augmentation surgery for lasting results or injectable dermal fillers that have little to no recovery time. Dr. Mang can help you make the decision about what is best for your specific desires. If you’re still unsure, it may be helpful to begin with dermal fillers to understand how different amounts of volume look and then get lip augmentation surgery. If you are in good health, you may be an ideal candidate for upper and/or lower lip augmentation at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery if you:
- Have naturally thin lips
- Have age-related volume loss in the lips
- Have asymmetrical or uneven lips
- Want to balance the overall appearance of your face
What Are My Lip Augmentation Options in Alpharetta, GA?
The approach taken during the procedure will vary, depending on your goals and the treatment plan you created with Dr. Mang.
Lip Implants
A small incision is created at the corner of your mouth, then the lip implant(s) will be inserted. It can take a few weeks for the implant(s) to settle into their final position and any swelling to subside, but lip implants will create results that last for years.
Fat Transfer
First, fat will be extracted from your thighs or other areas of your body that have excess fat using liposuction. This fat will then be purified and injected into your upper and/or lower lips until we’ve reached your desired fullness. Lip enhancement with a fat transfer can be repeated to sustain or enhance your lips, but generally, your results will last for many years.
Lip Lift/Vermilion Advancement
During a lip lift, a very small incision is made on the lower and/or upper border of your lip. An area of skin outside the lips will be removed, then your lips will be adjusted to replace the excised skin and stitched into their new position. This lip advancement surgery creates long-lasting improvements to the shape and size of the lips.
Dermal Fillers
Minimally invasive lip enhancement can be achieved with dermal fillers, like Juvederm® or Restylane®. Injections can be performed in one of our private treatment rooms as an outpatient procedure. Based on the dermal filler chosen, a local anesthetic may be part of the formula or numbing cream may be applied on the treated area. Once your lips are cleaned, several injections will be made and the filler will be massaged to give better results. You will be allowed to leave after your procedure to continue your regular routine.

What Can I Expect After My Lip Augmentation?
Dr. Mang will send you home with at-home care instructions. It’s vital to follow these instructions in order to have optimal healing and the best results. Whether you had nonsurgical or surgical lip augmentation, your mouth will most likely feel sore or tender for several days. With a fat transfer, you can expect the area where the fat was extracted to also be sore. Cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medications can help with swelling and discomfort. The results of a dermal filler can last for around 3 – 12 months, depending on the injectable selected for your procedure. Natural aging can impact both surgical and nonsurgical results in time so talk to Dr. Mang about maintenance sessions that can refresh your results.
Atlanta, GA lip augmentation FAQ
How much does lip augmentation cost?
Your cost for lip augmentation will be based on a number of factors, including whether you choose dermal fillers, a fat transfer, or implants. During your initial consultation with Dr. Mang, he will create your treatment plan and discuss your estimated cost. Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery accepts a variety of payment methods, and we can help you locate low-interest medical financing to make your treatment easy to afford.
Can I get the lips of a specific celebrity?
Like many other patients, you may come in and request the full, sexy lips of an actor or actress. Having photos of lips you want can help Dr. Mang understand your goals; however, it can be unrealistic to create the shape and appearance of someone else. In your first appointment, Dr. Mang will listen to your goals before discussing your options (a fat transfer, implants, or dermal fillers) to augment your lips. After that, he will create your personal treatment plan.
Should I get implants, a fat transfer, or fillers?
Based on your specific needs and goals, Dr. Mang can help you choose between implants, a fat transfer, and dermal fillers for your lip augmentation. If you are unsure about which option you want or nervous about surgery, dermal fillers may be your best choice. When you get more comfortable with the process and determine how much volume you would like, we can move on to lip implants or a fat transfer. At your consultation, Dr. Mang can discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each of your choices, so you can decide which is best for you.
Do lip implants look fake?
Lip implants are made with a flexible material that is designed to look and feel natural. With his years of experience and training, Dr. Mang inserts lip implants so your results will appear natural but impressive. During your consultation, he will discuss the shape and size of lower and/or upper implants to meet your needs and goals. In a few months, your implants will get into place, and the swelling will be gone so you can see your results.
Is lip augmentation reversible?
Typically, patients are very happy with their results. However, if you’re unhappy with your outcomes, you can opt to have your implants removed. If you are uncertain about lip implants, Dr. Mang might suggest injectable fillers since they are minimally invasive. With dermal fillers, the gel solution will slowly absorb into the body, which means that your lips will become smaller.
How long do the results of lip augmentation last?
The duration of lip augmentation results varies depending on the method used. Injectable dermal fillers are temporary, typically lasting from six months to a year before they gradually dissipate and require reapplication to maintain the desired volume. Lip implants, on the other hand, offer a more permanent solution, although they might require adjustments or replacement over time due to natural aging or other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Mang will discuss the longevity of each option, helping you to make an informed decision based on your aesthetic goals and lifestyle preferences.
