Non-Surgical Lip Augmentation

Dr. Jacono discusses
Non-Surgical Lip Augmentation

According to the American Academy of Facial and Reconstructive Surgery, lip augmentation using injectable fillers is one of the most common facial plastic procedures performed. In fact, the number of people who come to Dr. Jacono’s office for it, as well as to other cosmetic dermatologists and plastic surgeons, has increased more than any other facial procedure.

Lip fillers are a great option when you want fuller lips, whether they’ve thinned out due to aging or because you have naturally thin lips; to reshape lips that might be disproportionate in some way, such as those that naturally turn downwards; to better define the cupid’s bow; and/or to minimize any lipstick bleed lines.

Temporary Lip Fillers

The most common injectable fillers used for lips are the hyaluronic-acid-based fillers like the Restylane family of products and the Juvederm family of products. I say family because there are many different formulations of each like Restylane Silk, Restylane Defyne, Juvederm Volbella, and Juvederm Vollure. These companies have made many subtypes and different practitioners will choose them because they have different properties that they like. There is no perfect hyaluronic filler and they all do a great job, it’s just the doctor’s preference. All temporary lip fillers will last only from four to six months. Because the lips move so much, the filler tends to degrade faster than if it was injected into your cheeks, eyelids, or nose.

The traditional technique involves injecting the filler into the lip (or vermillion) border and filling the lip as you withdraw the needle filling the lip like a sausage is filled. This makes the lip one shape throughout and blunts the natural contours of the lip and cupid’s bow. The lip looks unnatural and overstuffed.

Instead, Dr. Jacono uses the classification system he developed for the placement of the fillers. This allows him to precisely target fifteen different anatomic zones on the lips: at the visible portion of the lip (the vermillion), the outer mouth (laugh lines), edges of the lips (lipstick lines), and the inner lip, with much more natural results. As everyone’s lips are different, in some patients Dr. Jacono only needs to inject three zones, and another ten zones to attain the correct size and proportional shape. This allows him to create bespoke lips for his Park Avenue patients that are beautiful, full, and enviable but not plastic. Many of his patients request what is called French Lips, a more voluptuous yet still balanced lip. Restylane or Juvederm injections are used to sculpt the lips so that the central portion of the upper lip is pouty, and the inside of the lip is rolled out. It gives a lovely and natural shape to the lips.

Permanent Lip Injections

While most lip injections are temporary, silicone injections are permanent. Silicone is not FDA-approved for use in the lips, and Dr. Jacono does not use it. There is a small but real risk that the lip can react to the Silicone and create nodules and reactive tissue called granulomas causing lumpiness and irregularities, even when it is injected perfectly. This can happen even 10 years after it is injected. Additionally, as you age, and your lip thins, the silicone can show through like an unsightly roll in the lip. Dr. Jacono has performed hundreds of surgeries to recontour the lips of patients who had silicone injections with good doctors; it is not the technique it is the material. He will make an incision line inside the lip to access the material and recontour it. For this reason, Dr. Jacono will not inject silicone,

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
