Fat
Grafts/Lips and Mouth
DR. CHARLES BAILEY,
JR., MD, FACS, FICS
Board
Certified Surgeon
One of the most obvious
signs of aging occurs around the mouth.
Lines develop around the mouth, the lip
tissue breaks down and the lips droop and
retreat into two thin lines.
The Lips lengthen as
a result of gravity. An inversion of the
vermilion, or the pink portion of the lip
is due to a gradual shrinkage of our jaw
bone and teeth.
This contributes to a
gradual distortion of the lip. The corners
of the mouth turn down, and the lower lip
loses its youthful appeal.

Lip enlargement is accomplished
in a multitude of ways. Some are more permanent
than others. Lip improvement with the CO2
laser can remove fine lines and wrinkles
around the mouth.
Dermabrasion, chemical
peels, collagen injections, and micro-fat
injections can create significant improvements.
In some cases more than one procedure may
be needed to achieve the desired appearance.
These procedures are
usually performed on an outpatient basis.
Recovery time depends upon the procedure
performed.
