Lip implants are one of the most popular ways to enhance your pout. Dr. Gregory Wiener has been using lip augmentation for over 20 years, and he’s considered one of the best plastic surgeons for lip augmentation in Chicago.

Lip augmentation can be performed with either saline or silicone gel implants. The filler is placed through a small incision on the inside of the mouth, below your top lip, and then injected into the tissue to create a fuller look. The results are subtle but noticeable—and permanent!

Dr. Wiener recommends an “enhanced” approach to lip augmentation, which requires an incision inside your mouth that allows for more precise placement of the filler material. This is less invasive than traditional lip augmentation methods because it doesn’t require any cuts on the outer skin of your lips or around your mouth.

Silicone Lip Implants

These are the most popular type of lip implants used by cosmetic surgeons today. Silicone is a very natural looking material that feels like real tissue when placed in your mouth. It has been used for over 30 years now and is known to be very safe and durable when implanted into your tissues. There are different shapes available too so you can choose one that best suits your needs!

Lip Augmentation With Implant Surgery

Dr. Gregory Wiener can help you choose the right lip implants for your face, body type and lifestyle. A variety of options are available, including:

Silicone Gel Implants

These are soft and pliable, so they feel natural in the mouth. They come in many sizes and shapes to give your lips the perfect shape and size.

Fat Transfer

This technique uses fat cells taken from another part of your body (usually your thighs or stomach) to fill out thin lips. The fat cells are injected into your lips through small incisions around the mouth or inside the mouth at a later date after healing has occurred from other procedures (such as laser resurfacing or facelifts).

Lip implants are a great way to enhance your looks and make you feel more confident. Call Dr. Gregory Wiener at 773-763-3990 for the latest techniques in lip implant surgery in Chicago!

They Can Hurt

Cracked, dry lips are not only unappealing to look at but they are also extremely uncomfortable and even painful. During this time of year, it’s easy for your body to get dehydrated and your lips to crack, peel, and even bleed. To keep your newly plump lips in the best shape possible, try using a hydrating lip balm that contains ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, and even petroleum jelly.

You Paid for Them

You paid good money to have your lips done by Dr. Gregory Wiener and the less you take care of your lips, the worse they will look. To maintain your results and get the most out of your newly plumped pout, make sure that you are using a moisturizing lip balm at least a few times a day. In fact, we encourage our patients to apply a lip balm to their lips after every meal and directly before bed every night.

They Will Look Better

Nothing is quite as unattractive as applying lipstick to dry lips that are starting to peel. To make sure your lips look in the best shape possible all the time, keep them constantly moisturized. The more moisturized they are, the smoother your lipstick will go on— which means that you will look on top of your game.

Having dry, cracked lips is awful— especially when you just got them done. By keeping them moisturized, you can feel more comfortable, get the most out of your money, and look more attractive. To learn more about dermal fillers, contact Dr. Gregory Wiener today!

Botox

As the most popular facial filler on the market, Botox is used to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles across the forehead and around the eyes. Whether you’re in your twenties or sixties, Botox has been proven to fill in wrinkles and give you a more youthful and even looking complexion. Lasting around 3-4 months, Botox is a temporary filler that needs to be redone a few times a year.

Juvederm

Juvederm is a facial filler that is meant for the nose down— meaning any wrinkles around the mouth, and yes, even lip injections. By using a small needle to inject the filler into the skin with, you can have the appearance of fuller lips and less wrinkles around your chin and your mouth. Lasting for around a year, Juvederm is one of the longer lasting fillers on the market.

Restylane

Similar to Juvederm, Restylane is a facial filler that is used to fill in areas such as the lips and around the mouth. As one of the most popular lip fillers on the market, Restylane gives you the smooth appearance and texture of fuller lips without any weird lumping or abnormalities. However, unlike Juvederm, Restylane only lasts an average of 6-9 months, but if you like the results of Restylane more, it might be worth it to get it done more frequently.

As three of the most popular facial fillers on the market, Botox, Juvederm, and Restylane are all excellent options to choose from. Whether you would like to target your forehead or lips, there is a filler available for you to choose from.
