Lip Augmentation
The lips outline the smile and frame one of the most expressive features of the face. Well-shaped, naturally proportioned lips are a meaningful aesthetic asset — but not everyone has the lips they want. Genetics largely determine the natural shape and fullness of the lips, and even patients who began with beautifully shaped lips can lose volume and definition with age. Cosmetic lip plastic surgery offers genuine, durable solutions to reshape, rejuvenate, and restore the lips. At Los Angeles Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. John Anastasatos provides refined cosmetic lip surgery that complements other facial features for harmonious, natural-looking results.
Dr. Anastasatos performs cosmetic lip plastic surgery with the refined aesthetic surgical authority this delicate facial work specifically rewards. He was profiled by the Beverly Hills Courier in a feature titled “Anastasatos turns Body Restoration into art form” — a profile reflecting his reputation specifically for refined aesthetic surgical results. With over two decades of facial surgical expertise in Beverly Hills since 2007, he is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World.
Understanding Beautiful Lip Aesthetics
The “ideal” lip shape depends entirely on the individual. Like all facial features, the lips should blend and harmonize with the rest of the face — proportional to the chin, balanced with the nose, and complementary to the eyes. Most patients agree that fuller lips appear more attractive and youthful, and that well-defined lips with a clear cupid’s bow read as feminine and desirable. For patients with naturally thinner lips or a longer upper lip, lip augmentation can produce fuller, better-defined lips that accentuate the smile without looking artificial or overdone.
How Aging Affects the Lips
Lip augmentation is requested by patients of all ages, but there is a notable increase in interest among women in their forties, fifties, and beyond. The lips are significantly affected by the aging process:
- Loss of subcutaneous fat can produce thinner, less voluminous lips
- Lengthening of the upper lip makes the face and mouth appear older
- Loss of definition along the vermilion border softens the natural lip outline
- Decreased cupid’s bow projection flattens the upper lip’s defining feature
Cosmetic lip plastic surgery can address these age-related changes through both lifting and volumizing techniques — restoring more youthful proportions while preserving the patient’s individual character.
Cosmetic Lip Plastic Surgery Options
Dr. Anastasatos offers the following surgical lip procedures at Los Angeles Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills:
Lip augmentation can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other cosmetic enhancements — including facelift surgery — to rejuvenate the entire lower face for a balanced, harmonious result. For patients seeking volume alone, dermal filler injections can produce temporary enhancement, while fat injections or fat transfers offer more permanent volume restoration.
