Lip Augmentation in Lake Oswego, OR

What Is Lip Augmentation?

Full, shapely lips can greatly enhance the appearance of a patient who is suffering from thinning lips due to age or patients who have naturally smaller lips than they desire. We offer synthetic lip injectable dermal fillers to address thin lips. Dr. Mark A. Petroff meets with each of his Lake Oswego, OR patients to discuss the ideal lip enhancement option for them to realize their personal needs and goals. Whether you choose implants or lip filler injections, you can enjoy increased volume and better shape in your lips. We welcome patients to schedule a consultation at Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa to find out which option could work best for them.

Am I A Candidate for Lip Enhancement?

The ideal candidates for upper and/or lower lip augmentation surgery are men and women who:

  • Have thin lips
  • Have tried injectable fillers and desire a longer-lasting enhancement
  • Are allergic to the solutions in the injectable fillers
  • Have overall good health

How Is Lip Augmentation Performed?

Depending on the augmentation option the patient chooses, surgery may or may not be needed but all options can be performed as an outpatient procedure. With the insertion of implants, incisions at the outer corners of the mouth are required for implantation. The incision opening will be closed after with dissolvable sutures. Injections of medical-grade dermal fillers do not need incisions and will be implemented with a syringe. It may take several injections to get the desired fullness. Patients can expect the lips to be tender and sore for several days after the surgery. Scarring is very minimal with a lip augmentation surgery because the incision is placed on the outside of the mouth in the natural crease of the lips. Once healed, the incision is barely noticeable at all. Aftercare instructions will be given to properly care for the lips.

What Are the Benefits of Lip Augmentation?

Whether you're looking to enhance thin or delicate lips, correct asymmetry, or restore volume lost due to aging, lip augmentation provides natural-looking results without the "duck lips" effect. With both permanent and temporary solutions available, Petroff Center is pleased to offer a variety of options for lip enhancement.

I am very pleased with the results of the Volbella XC. It did exactly what the literature said - minimized fine lines and made my lips a bit fuller.

Very please with my experience and satisfied - I was very happy with the expertise and experience that I received. My consultation was informative and helpful, and I decided to go with juviderm lip enhancement. It seems to have turned out great, though it is still very bruised and a little swollen. But I can easily see what it will look like and it is very beautiful. Very natural and symmetrical.

It's been 2+ weeks since my Blepharoplasty, I am so thrilled that I had this procedure done with Dr. Mark Petroff. I live in FL and Nantucket, did my research and when I toured the Petroff Center, I booked my appointment immediately! From my initial contact with Brianne, to my final ultrasound procedure with Whitney, I cannot give enough kudos to the team there. Everyone is so professional, the center is very modern, contemporary and extremely neat and clean. Dr. Petroff's nurse Christy, called me two weeks prior to the procedure to go over all pre-op/post-op and answer all of my questions. Tiffany, the Nurse Anesthetist, called me the night before my procedure (after putting down her kids!) as well as the night of my procedure to see how I was doing. Unbelievable? When I left the OR, Deanna (Dr. Petroff's OR RN) got me a cup of good hot coffee and some vaseline for my lips. I even went home with a dozen yellow roses and the monogrammed coffee cup! A month before the procedure, I had a printed spiral notebook of all my upcoming appointments and what to expect before, during and after the procedure. I also received Vitamins and a regimen to follow before and after. Since this was my very first cosmetic procedure, it was incredibly helpful information and very thorough. I also want to mention Carly, Dr. Petroff's MA, as she is just as professional at her job as the rest. If you are reading this and contemplating where to have any cosmetic improvements, I can first-hand strongly recommend the Petroff Center. I understand that Dr. Petroff's wife, Karen, is a big part of their growing and very successful business and I'm just very grateful and thankful to everyone there who looked after me including the gals at the reception desk. Thank you!!!

Dr. Petroff did an excellent job of doing filler in my lips. He was friendly, competent, easy to talk with and very well qualified. His training and education are superior. I highly recommend him.

I have been a client / patient here for a few years. First for non-invasive procedures, then for a lower face lift, neck lift & lip lift.. I researched several surgeons, several times until I finally decided on Dr Petroff. He helped me assess what I wanted & guided me on what to expect. On the day of my surgery, Dr Petroff & his surgical staff ensured I was comfortable & helped calm my pre-op anxiety. I'm 6 months postop & very happy with the results.

What Type of Lip Filler Injections Do You Offer?

Fine lines and wrinkles, thin lips, and drooping corners of the mouth are all areas that can be aided with injectable dermal fillers. The market is ever changing with new products appearing on the market all the time. At Petroff Center, patient care is individualized to provide a safe and effective treatment option, and our team personally administers all of our lip injections. With their intimate understanding of facial anatomy, patients can expect a pleasing result that is not overdone. Currently, Dr. Petroff prefers to use Juvéderm® for lip augmentation. It is a smooth gel that glides into the skin and plumps the lip for a fuller look. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin. Since it is not animal based and highly biocompatible, no pre-treatment testing is needed.

What to Expect After Lip Augmentation

Lip implants are made with flexible, synthetic materials that are made to look and feel natural under the skin. With time, the lips will not look swollen, and the implant will integrate with the natural tissues and fibers of the lip. Dermal filler injections will slowly absorb back into the body, and the lips will naturally become smaller. The side effects of lip fillers include mild swelling, redness, or sensitivity around the injection site, but these generally pass within a few days. Repeated lip filler injections at our Lake Oswego, OR office will be needed to maintain your results.
