Lip Augmentation

Youthful skin is rich in hyaluronic acid. As we age, the distribution and function of hyaluronic acid in our skin gradually change, leading to the characteristic signs of aging. Teosial restylane gels work by enhancing your lips own stocks of hyaluronic acid, directly adding volume to either soften the signs of aging or enhance your features.

Lip augmentation is recommended: For people with small, deflated lips, asymmetry, reconstructive needs, dropping or sagging upper lip, lack of color, wrinkling from smoking or aging and other complaints. If you are in great physical and emotional health as well as have reasonable expectations, elastic skin and no previous existing medical conditions. Patients must have patience and understanding as well as discipline to follow post-operative protocol to increase their chances of a positive outcome.
