Radiesse is generally avoided in the lips due to the bumps and nodules that it can create. Restylane is the best in the lips. Juvederm can also be used in the lips as well. Both of these products have a limited longevity and can last from 6 months to a year.  Fat injections are an option in the lips but take a lot of experience and knowledge of lip anatomy and dynamics to create the best result.

Fat transfer, when done well, can last years. But you want to go to a surgeon that has experience doing these in the lips. The length of time fat lasts is tightly related to the technique that is being used. You have to traumatize the fat as little as possible and when you place the fat it has to be layered in small amounts so that the fat can survive and find its own blood supply and environment.

I refined an amazing volumizing procedure called “the YoungLift”.  This is an innovative technique that volumizes your face to bring out the younger and natural you without looking like you had something done.  This is not a facelift and requires no incisions.  Only pinpoint puncture sites are used and these heal imperceptibly.  The YoungLift can be done without general anesthesia and without drains, and large bandages.  You also have a lot less downtime and discomfort compared with traditional facelift procedures.  Dr Young employs the very best techniques from around the world into one volumizing procedure and he uses his internationally acclaimed understanding of facial beauty to create the youthful volume you once had. The YoungLift techniques can help with filling up the lips as well.  You can great results with fat injections in the lips.

Dr Young is located in Bellevue near Seattle, Washington
