Full, balanced lips can transform the face, bringing harmony and a youthful finish to your look. At BioSpa in Newport Beach, CA we offer both non-surgical and surgical options for lip enhancement. Whether you want a subtle boost or a long-lasting change, our team can guide you toward the treatment that best fits your style and goals.
For patients seeking instant volume and refined shape, Allergan’s JUVÉDERM® family of fillers remains the gold standard. These hyaluronic acid (HA) injectables hydrate and plump the lips while maintaining a soft, natural feel.
Our licensed and highly trained injection specialists customize every treatment. So, whether you desire a gentle outline, balanced top and bottom lips, or dramatic fullness, they can help. Results typically last six to twelve months and can be adjusted or even reversed if needed.
JUVÉDERM lip fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to attract and retain moisture. Once injected, the dermal filler adds subtle volume, smooths fine lines, and enhances lip shape with immediate results.
Before treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for 24 hours to minimize bruising. During the appointment, your injector will apply a topical numbing cream and strategically place small amounts of filler to achieve your desired shape. The process typically takes about 30 minutes or less.
Mild swelling or bruising may occur for a few days. Apply a cold compress and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Results appear right away and soften as any swelling subsides.
A lip flip is a quick, no-downtime treatment that softens a gummy smile or subtly enhances your upper lip’s curve. Using small amounts of BOTOX, our expert injectors relax the muscles around the mouth, allowing the upper lip to roll slightly outward for a more defined look. Results develop within days and often last about three to four months.
A BOTOX lip flip targets the tiny orbicularis oris muscle around the mouth. By relaxing this muscle, the upper lip gently rolls outward, creating the look of added volume without filler.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications the day before your appointment. Your injector will place a few quick, tiny injections along the upper lip line (no numbing is typically needed). The treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
You may notice slight redness or pinpoint swelling at injection sites for a few hours. Results develop over three to five days and last about three to four months.
For patients seeking a more permanent enhancement, BioSpa works closely with our parent practice, Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, where board-certified surgeons perform advanced surgical procedures.
When it comes to surgical lip augmentation, the Lip Lift is the most requested option. It shortens the space between the nose and upper lip to reveal more of the pink vermilion and create lasting fullness. Other procedures such as fat transfer, lip implants, corner lip lift, and lip reduction are also available and can be discussed during a consultation.
