What Is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that adds volume, improves lip symmetry, and refines the overall appearance of the lips. Patients can choose to augment the upper lip, the lower lip, or both.
At our practice in San Antonio, TX, we offer multiple lip enhancement options that vary depending on your desired outcome, including:
Injectable fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, for a minimally invasive solution
Fat transfer to restore lost volume using your own tissue
Lip lift procedures to shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip, improving lip definition
Each lip enhancement procedure is customized to achieve defined contours while preserving your facial features and balance.
Is Lip Augmentation Right For You?
Deciding if lip augmentation is right for you begins with considering your personal goals and the look you’d like to achieve. Some people are looking for subtle enhancement to restore volume lost over time, while others may want a more noticeable boost in fullness and definition. It’s important to think about how long you’d like results to last, your comfort level with different treatment options, and your overall facial balance. A consultation with Dr. Ferguson can help you explore the safest options and decide which approach best fits your needs.
Benefits of Lip Augmentation:
Long lasting enhancement with regular touch-ups
Improved lip symmetry and structure
Natural-feeling texture that complements your facial features
Minimal downtime with a smooth recovery

Lip Fillers: A Non-Surgical Option
Lip augmentation with injectable fillers remains one of the most highly sought procedures for patients looking to achieve natural beauty without surgery. We use advanced dermal fillers, typically made from hyaluronic acid, which binds to water molecules in the skin to add volume and smooth lines around the lips.
Benefits of Lip Fillers:
Quick, in-office lip enhancement procedure
Uses a topical anesthetic or numbing agent for comfort
Enhances the upper lip, lower lip, or both
Results last 6 to 12 months with regular touch-ups
Reversible if needed
Lip filler is ideal for patients seeking a temporary boost in lip size with minimal recovery time.
Lip Lift Surgery
A lip lift is a surgical procedure designed to refine the shape of the upper lip and improve the cupid's bow. Unlike lip fillers, a lip lift surgery reduces excess skin between the nose and lips, rolling out the upper lip to reveal more of the pink lip and create a fuller look without increasing volume.
Benefits of a Lip Lift:
Enhances the vermilion border for a sharper lip contour
Provides permanent enhancement with minimal scarring
Shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip for improved balance
Can be combined with other facial plastic procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation

Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients experience temporary swelling and mild discomfort following any lip enhancement treatment. We recommend using ice packs, keeping your head elevated, and avoiding strenuous activities during the recovery period.
With lip lift surgery, recovery time is longer but typically very manageable. Dr. Ferguson and his team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you reduce swelling and promote a smooth recovery.
Maintenance & Follow-Up Care
Lip fillers typically last 6 to 12 months. To maintain your lip augmentation results, follow-up treatments may be recommended. We encourage patients to return for regular assessments to ensure their lips continue to look their best.
Proper aftercare, such as using ice packs, keeping the head elevated, and avoiding strenuous activities, will support a smooth recovery and optimize your results. Our team will guide you through every step of your post-procedure care.
