Lip Enhancements in Towson

At the Krupp Center, we offer two kinds of lip enhancements: temporary and permanent. Our temporary lip enhancement techniques use injectable fillers to add volume to your lips. Typically, we repeat lip filler treatments every 6 to 9 months to maintain their appearance.

Unlike temporary injectables, lip implants provide a permanent solution to enhancing your natural beauty. Our PermaLip implants have the advantage of being both permanent and easily reversible if you decide to change or adjust your look.

Ultimately, the decision between lip filler and lip implants depends on your personal preferences. Lip implants provide permanent contouring, while lip fillers allow you to easily change up your look with each session. If you’re still unsure which is the best option for you, you can schedule a consultation at the Krupp Center to learn more about both options and get a professional recommendation.

If you’re a healthy adult with thin or uneven lips, and you’re interested in a permanent contouring solution, lip enhancements in Towson may be the perfect for you. The best way to confirm whether you’d benefit from permanent lip enhancements is by scheduling a consultation at the Krupp Center. We’ll discuss your goals, review your medical history, and help you select the right implant for your desired results.

Prior to your lip enhancement, you’ll meet with one of our maxillofacial surgeons for a private consultation. They’ll listen attentively as you describe your goals and talk you through your options for lip enhancement. Depending on your desired results, they’ll help you choose the right size of implant to create fuller, natural-looking contours.

At your appointment, the surgeon first applies a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Once the anesthetic has taken full effect, your surgeon makes an incision in each corner of your mouth. Then, they carefully pass the PermaLip implant through a small tunnel under the surface of your lip. The surgeon then repeats this process for the other lip, if included in your treatment plan.

Placing lip implants typically takes about an hour. Some patients may require 2 to 3 days of downtime, but you may be able to resume some light activity as soon as the next day. It takes about a week for any residual swelling or bruising to subside, letting you enjoy your full results.

Prior to your appointment for lip enhancements in Towson, don’t get any other lip treatments, including lip filler. Avoid scheduling any other facial treatments or dental work a few weeks before and after your appointment. Drink extra water to make sure your lips are hydrated, and wear lip balm with sunscreen while outdoors to protect them from getting sunburned.

After we place your PermaLip implant, you can expect your lips to feel swollen and slightly tender. Take pain medication as directed by your surgeon to alleviate any discomfort. Avoid massaging, rubbing, or manipulating your lips, and minimize your use of straws until your lips have fully recovered.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the PermaLip implant is the ease with which we can replace them for another size. If you’d like to restore your lips’ natural appearance, we can do that too! Removing a PermaLip implant can take as little as 10 minutes in our office.
