Lip Enhancement in San Diego at Hilinski Medspa

As we age, our lips naturally lose volume, leading to thinner, less defined contours that can affect the overall balance of the face. This can result in an older appearance or even give the unintended impression of anger or displeasure. Fortunately, Hilinski Medspa offers lip enhancement treatments designed to restore the natural fullness and shape of your lips, giving you a rejuvenated, youthful look.

Under the care of Dr. John Hilinski, a Harvard-trained, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, you can achieve natural-looking, fuller lips through advanced lip augmentation techniques. Dr. Hilinski’s expertise in facial aesthetics ensures that your lip enhancement treatment is customized to meet your individual goals while maintaining balance and harmony with your facial features.

What is Lip Enhancement?

Lip enhancement, also known as lip augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that adds volume, definition, and shape to the lips. At Hilinski Medspa, we offer temporary lip enhancement using dermal filler injectables like Restylane®. This procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and provides patients with immediate results, creating fuller, plumper lips that still look natural.

Temporary Lip Enhancement with Dermal Fillers

Temporary lip enhancement is a popular option for patients looking for a non-surgical solution to thin lips. Using Restylane®, a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, Dr. Hilinski carefully injects the filler into targeted areas of the lips to add volume and improve shape.

The procedure typically takes just a few minutes and can be done comfortably in an office visit. While some patients opt for a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort, most find the procedure very tolerable. Results are visible immediately and can last for six to nine months, after which you can return for follow-up treatments to maintain your desired look.
