|---|---|---|---|

Lip Augmentation with Fat Grafting
Dr. Basner is skilled in using fat grafts from your own body to augment and volumize another area of your body. Fat grafting is a fat transfer from an area of excess using liposuction. The fat is then purified and injected into your lips. Some of the advantages of this technique include:
- Natural technique free of artificial material
- Has the added benefit of slimming an area with liposuction
- Fat injection results are long-lasting
- Optimally subtle, natural-looking results
The only way to know if this technique is an option for you is to visit Dr. Basner for your personalized consultation. For patients in Baltimore and throughout Maryland who want fuller lips without synthetic filler, fat transfer to the lips is an excellent long-term lip augmentation solution.
Lip Enhancement with Injectable Fillers
Prefer a non-surgical option with no recovery time? Dr. Basner also offers injectable lip fillers, including Restylane and Restylane Lyft, to add volume, shape, and definition in as little as one appointment. Results are immediate and typically last 6–18 months depending on the product used.

Lip Augmentation with a Surgical Lip Lift
If your primary concern is a long upper lip, a flattened lip border, or a philtrum that has lengthened with age, rather than a lack of volume, a surgical lip lift may be a better fit than filler or fat transfer. This procedure permanently shortens the space between the base of the nose and the upper lip border, revealing more of the lip itself.

A Note on the Botox Lip Flip
Patients with a mild “gummy smile” or those wanting the subtlest possible enhancement sometimes ask about the Botox lip flip. This is a Botox treatment, not a filler or surgical procedure. Read more about it on our Botox in Baltimore page.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Lip Enhancement?
Good candidates for lip enhancement are healthy adults who feel their lips are thin, asymmetrical, or have lost volume with age, and who want a natural-looking improvement rather than an overdone result. Because Dr. Basner offers three different techniques, most patients, regardless of age, lip shape, or goals, can find an appropriate option. The best way to determine which approach (fat transfer, filler, or lip lift) is right for you is a personalized consultation.

FAQs About Baltimore Lip Augmentation Procedures
What is lip enhancement?
Lip enhancement is any cosmetic treatment that adds volume, shape, or structure to the lips. Options range from non-surgical dermal fillers and fat transfer to surgical lip lift procedures. Dr. Basner, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Baltimore, helps patients choose the right method based on their goals, anatomy, and desired permanence.
What's the difference between lip filler and a lip lift?
Lip filler is a non-surgical injection that temporarily adds volume, lasting 6–18 months. A lip lift is a permanent surgical procedure that shortens the space above the lip to reveal more of it. Filler adds fullness; a lip lift changes lip position and proportion permanently.
How much does lip enhancement cost in Baltimore?
Cost depends on the technique. Injectable fillers typically start around $700–$900 per syringe, while fat transfer and surgical lip lift pricing vary based on complexity and anatomy. Dr. Basner provides transparent, personalized pricing during your Baltimore consultation based on the option you choose.
How long do lip augmentation results last?
Results vary by method: dermal filler typically lasts 6–18 months, fat transfer to the lips can last several years, and a surgical lip lift produces permanent structural change. Dr. Basner will recommend the option that matches how long-lasting you want your results to be.
Am I a good candidate for lip enhancement?
Most healthy adults unhappy with thin, asymmetrical, or aging lips are candidates for some form of lip enhancement. The right technique depends on whether your concern is volume loss (filler or fat transfer) or lip position and proportion (lip lift). A consultation with Dr. Basner determines the best fit.
