Why Choose Lip Augmentation?
Some people are born with naturally thin lips. For others, aging causes lip tissue to deflate, resulting in thin lips and vertical lines around the entire mouth. Those who suffer from small, pursed, or thin lips may spend excessive time and money to achieve fuller lips without visiting a professional.
Many people report using expensive cosmetics and creams to achieve temporary results but ultimately continue searching for a longer-lasting solution. Lip augmentation is an excellent option as the procedure can be performed on your lunch break and the results typically last between six to eight months.

What is Lip Augmentation?
Dr. Bustillo performs lip augmentation with topical anesthetic using a hyaluronic acid filler. The goal is to make the lips fuller but keep them looking natural. Less is more when it comes to lip augmentation. We do not like duck lips in our office!
The exact type of filler that will be used depends on how much augmentation the patient desires. In some cases, a very thin filler is used to just gently fill the lips. Extremely thin lips may require a thicker filler.
The lip augmentation procedure is done in the office and takes about 15 minutes.
The Lip Augmentation Procedure: Step-by-Step Breakdown
Your lip augmentation procedure with Dr. Bustillo begins with the application of a numbing cream to your lips. This cream is allowed to work for about 10 minutes to ensure the area is well anesthetized.
Once the numbing cream has taken effect, Dr. Bustillo will carefully administer the injections. This process typically takes around 5 minutes.
After the injections, Dr. Bustillo may gently massage the treated area to ensure the filler is evenly distributed. He will also evaluate the results and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.
After the procedure, an ice pack is placed on the lips to help prevent swelling. While most patients do not bruise from this, it can happen. For this reason, we advise patients to do this ahead of any important event.
Duration of Lip Fillers: How Long Do They Last?
The results last about 3-4 months depending on the filler. The reason it does not last longer is that the lips are in constant motion and this tends to break down the filler faster than when it is injected into the cheek, for example.
Ideal Candidates for Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation is a safe and popular choice for most adults who want fuller, better-shaped lips. Here’s what makes someone a good candidate for the lip filler procedure:
- Non-Surgical Option: Lip fillers are a non-surgical way to enhance your lips, avoiding the need for more invasive surgical solutions.

- Temporary Effects: The results are temporary, which means you can adjust your look over time if needed.
