What to Expect
These implants are also designed to be easily removed. Therefore, you can increase or decrease the size of your augmentation, or return to your original lip appearance.
Your Consult
Some patient may prefer to “try out” the idea of lip augmentation first with the help of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are temporary, giving you more time to decide whether the look of lip enhancement is right for you before committing to lip implants.

Lip Implant FAQs
How much do lip implants cost?
The cost of lip implants, or lip augmentation, varies greatly based on your location, the skill and expertise of your provider, your specific goals and needs and other factors. The average costs of lip implants that you might find online often does not include all the fees associated with a surgical procedure, making these estimates inaccurate. To receive an accurate cost estimation for your lip implants, schedule a consultation with your plastic surgeon to discuss the details of your specific procedure.
How do I choose the best plastic surgeon near me for lip implants?
Choose a plastic surgeon for your lip implants who has ample experience performing facial plastic surgery procedures. Ask friends and family in your area for personal recommendations, check online reviews and look at before and after photos of lip augmentation performed by your top one or two choices.
Are lip implants the best procedure for me?
The ideal candidate for lip implants is someone who is looking for a longer-term solution to lip thinning and reshaping than dermal fillers can offer, is in good physical and mental health and has realistic expectations. Many people choose to try fillers before getting surgical lip implants to help them decide if a more permanent solution is the best option.
Do lip implants hurt?
Lip implants are performed under either general or local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Directly after getting lip implants, you may experience swelling, bruising and mild discomfort as your body begins to heal. These symptoms are usually easily managed with the use of cold compresses, prescription or over-the-counter pain medication and keeping your head elevated while resting.
How much time off work will I need after lip augmentation?
Most people are able to return to work and other daily activities around a week after getting lip implants. You should be able to wear makeup to hide any residual swelling or bruising around two weeks after your procedure—possibly sooner. However, you will still need to avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks after lip augmentation.
How soon will I see my lip implant results?
You may see an immediate difference in the size or shape of your lips directly after your lip augmentation procedure. However, swelling and bruising can temporarily hide initial results, so it can take around three months to see what your final results will look like. Lip implant results will continue to develop for 6 months or more.
Do lip implants feel natural?
Yes, most people find that silicone lip implants look, feel and move much like natural lip tissue, offering a longer-term solution than nonsurgical dermal fillers.
How long do lip implants last?
Lip implants are a long-term solution that can last a lifetime in some cases. Unlike lip fillers, the results of surgical lip augmentation do not fade away over time or require regular touch-up procedures. However, the natural aging process can slightly alter the results of any plastic surgery procedure over time.
