Lip Augmentation and Lip Enhancement

Lip Augmentation Illustration
The lips age with the rest of our face

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, the graceful Cupid’s bow of the upper lip begin to flatten, and the upper lip lengthens and hangs over the teeth. 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 lip augmentation and non-surgical lip augmentation. He performs Restylane and Juvederm 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 injectables improves “lipstick bleed lines” or the lines that radiate around the lips in older patients.

Lip Augmentation with Lip Injections and Lip Surgery

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 Restylane or Juvederm lip injections 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. Doctor Jacono pioneered this techniques and published his hallmark article on customizing lip injection augmentation in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.

For those patients who want more permanent results and are willing to undergo lip 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. This is an operation performed by very few doctors across the country and Doctor Jacono has published articles in the medical literature and lectured on lip augmentation at national and international plastic surgery meetings.

Patients with aging lips droop over the upper lip and become thinner. They benefit from a Lip Lift and Fat Augmentation of the Lips. The lip lift is performed with an incision directly underneath the nose and this is called the “bull horn lip lift” because of the shape of the incision. The fat grafting can be obtained from suctioned fat from the abdomen, or from removing it during a procedure such as a facelift (this is called a SMAS graft – the SMAS is the fibrofatty tissue under the skin).

Lip Augmentation Patient 4: This patient with thin lips underwent a dermal fat graft to add volume to her upper and lower lips. This dermal fat graft was obtained from the SMAS in the face during a mini face lift so no additional harvesting procedure for fat was required.

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.

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.
