Do thin or uneven lips make you feel less confident every time you look in the mirror? Lip augmentation can give you the fuller, more balanced smile you have been dreaming of — without relying on tricks of makeup or filters.
At Old Town Med Spa, Drs. Nael and Shazel Gharbi — known as the MD Brothers — are among the top cosmetic providers in the Chicago area, with more than a decade of experience shaping natural, beautiful results. Their artistry, advanced training, and dual board certifications in Aesthetic Medicine and Internal Medicine make them a trusted choice for patients seeking refined, customized facial treatments.
What Is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, definition, and fullness of your lips. At Old Town Med Spa, we use advanced techniques to create natural-looking enhancements that complement your other facial features — so your lips look like you, only better.
Types of Lip Augmentation
You can choose from several methods, and your provider will help you decide which fits your goals best:
-
Dermal fillers: Hyaluronic acid options like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® provide immediate plumpness with minimal downtime.
-
Fat transfer: Uses your body’s own fat to add lip volume for longer-lasting results.
-
Lip implants: A surgical option in which small incisions are made at each corner of the mouth, and a soft implant is inserted into the lips.
If you are new to injectables, you may also want to explore our broader range of dermal fillers, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and other cosmetic offerings available at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago as part of a complete facial refresh.
Benefits of Lip Augmentation
Whether you choose fillers, fat transfer, or implants, the advantages include:
-
Enhanced facial symmetry and balance for a more harmonious appearance
-
Increased self-confidence and self-esteem
-
Subtle, natural-looking results that still feel like your own lips
-
Smoother lip contours and softening of fine lines around the mouth
Are You a Good Candidate?
Most healthy adults with realistic expectations and a desire for fuller lips are excellent candidates. Ideal patients are also non-smokers or willing to pause smoking in the weeks before and after treatment to support healing. During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will review your health history, listen to your aesthetic goals, and recommend the technique best suited to you.
What to Expect: Treatment and Recovery
Filler appointments typically take 30 minutes or less, while fat transfer and lip implants require additional time. Mild swelling, tenderness, or light bruising may last a few days. Filler results appear right away, while fat transfer and implants settle into their final shape over several weeks. Depending on the method you choose, your enhanced lips can last anywhere from several months to several years.
