Having either a lift or augmentation depends on the shape of the lips an individual has and the ultimate aesthetic goal. If a person has a flat and undefined lip, a lip augmentation may result in an outward pouty lip rather than a shapelier and well-designed mouth. Therefore, lip augmentation is not always the solution. When you meet with your surgeon during your consultation, they can discuss if a lip augmentation or a lip lift in Oklahoma City is the best option for you.

What is a Lift Lip & Augmentation?
Do you ever think that your lips are too thin? Or do you feel you have too much space between your top lip and your nose? Our team at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates sees patients consistently for cosmetic concerns regarding their lips, so we can offer a lip augmentation and/or a lip lift in Oklahoma City to balance your facial features.
A lip lift creates the ideal cupid’s bow by lifting your top lip, decreasing the space between your nose and top lip. An augmentation procedure adds volume to your lips, making them appear more full.
- Volume loss in the lip
- Thin lips
- Poorly defined lips
- Gummy smile
What To Expect From a Lip Lift & Augmentation
01
Consultation
To create your custom plan, you first meet with one of our doctors to have a conversation about your concerns and the best options for treatment. We offer both a lip augmentation and lip lift in Oklahoma City, so you’ll discuss if your goals require both procedures or if you only need one.
02
Anesthesia
We offer both local and IV sedation at CSA, so your provider will talk about the pros and cons of both and help you determine which is best for you. Then, they talk about the details of your procedure, explaining what you can expect before, during, and after.
03
Procedure
There are different methods for achieving both a lip lift and lip augmentation. Your surgeon will have discussed those methods during your consultation and explained which would best achieve the results you are looking for. Whichever method they use, you can trust they’ll apply years of experience to deliver beautiful, lasting results.
04
Recovery
After surgery, your doctor visits with you once more to go over your post-care instructions and schedule your follow-up appointment. Results after the first few days of the surgery will already be visible with a bit of swelling and minimal pain, but full effects should take a few months to have the final look the patient wanted.

Scarring is minimal for patients after a lip lift in Oklahoma City. The sutures will be finely done, and the doctor will make every effort to minimize the effects of scarring. Incisions are barely visible after the procedure.
Having “duck lips” is the result of a surgeon augmenting a lip that probably should have been lifted instead. What the lip lift does is improve the placement and overall shape of the lips. Your surgeon can talk with you during your consultation to create a plan that leaves you with natural, subtle results.
