What Is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation at our Minneapolis, MN clinic is a procedure that enhances the size and shape of your lips, giving you a fuller and more defined appearance. A lip augmentation and/or lift can help counteract the effects of aging, sun exposure and smoking.
At Renew Plastic Surgery, we augment the lips to look naturally plump without the overinflated look that often results when lip treatments are improperly done.
Using safe, high-quality fillers, your skilled surgeon will sculpt your lips with precision, achieving a result that harmonizes with your unique facial features.
This is a simple yet transformative way to enhance your natural beauty and achieve your desired lip plumpness and symmetry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Injectable dermal fillers typically provide results that last between 6 and 12 months. Lip implants, on the other hand, can provide longer-lasting results — often lasting several years or more.
The most common types of lip fillers used for augmentation are hyaluronic acid-based ones. These fillers are safe and provide natural-looking results. Popular brand names include JUVÉDERM®, Restylane® and Belotero BALANCE®.
Lip augmentation procedures at our clinic in Minneapolis typically involve the use of local anesthesia or numbing agents to minimize discomfort. The injections themselves may cause slight stinging, but nothing intolerable. After the procedure, swelling and temporary soreness can be expected, but it’s nothing that can’t be managed with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medication.
