Patients requesting lip augmentation come from all age groups. As we get older the lips age with the rest of the face resulting in atrophy of the lips. The lips thin out, tiny vertical lines appear, and the graceful cupid's bow of the upper lip begin to flatten. Others may have been born with thinner lips, and simply want a more defined cupid's bow and greater lip volume to balance the other features of their face.
When consulting Dr. Jacono for lip augmentation he will discuss both surgical and non-surgical alternatives in lip augmentation. He performs Restylane and Collagen injections for patients who don't want surgery or do not have time to recover after surgery. These techniques result in great improvements but are a temporary solution often lasting only three to six months. Lip Augmentation with injectable improves "lipstick bleed lines" or the lines that radiate around the lips in older patients.
Doctor Jacono has been selected as a JET Trial center by Allergan for the newest filler called Juvederm that is a hyaluronic acid based filler.
Lip Augmentation Patient 1: This patient underwent a Restylane Lip Augmentatiion with a "pouty" lip. Doctor Jacono calls this Technique French Lips™.
Before & After
All surgeries performed by Doctor Jacono are done through small incisions in the corner of the mouth and the inside of the lips which makes them imperceptible. Many patients request French Lips™. Here he uses Retylane to sculpt the lips so the central portion of the upper lip is pouty and the inside of the lip is rolled out , a stylistic touch seen with many models.
For those patients who want more permanent results and are willing to undergo surgery, Doctor Jacono performs the latest procedures in lip augmentation. After carefully evaluating your lips, he will recommend different procedures including Microfat Injections harvested from your abdomen, placement of Alloderm or Dermal Fat Graft Implants, Lip Lift or a V to Y lip advancement procedure. The V to Y lip advancement procedure produces the fullest lips and results in lips that appear similar to those of Angelina Jolie. Patients with aging lips that droop and become thinner benefit from a Lip Lift and Fat Augmentation of the Lips.

Some patints request lip reduction surgery. This is performed through hidden incisions placed on the inside of the mouth.
Lip Reduction Patient 1: This patient was dissatisfied with the size of her lips that dominated her facial appearance.
Before & After
Doctor Jacono has published in the medical literature regarding V to Y lip augmentation as well as AlloDerm™, Collagen and Cymetra™ injections for soft tissue augmentation (Click Here to See Dr. Jacono's Publications). Prior to surgery all patients receive a complete physical examination and are started on vitamin supplementation and homeopathic therapies to enhance healing after surgery. Research has shown that surgical results are improved when these regimens are part of your surgical treatment.
