What Is Lip Augmentation?

If you are interested in lip augmentation, contact our office in Los Angeles, CA to schedule an appointment for a consultation. Our team can discuss all your options and help you create your custom lip augmentation treatment plan.
How Does Lip Augmentation Work?
Dr. Ran is pleased to offer a selection of options for lip enhancement, including:
- Lip lift/vermilion advancement: For this surgical lip enhancement, a thin incision is made along the lower and/or upper border of the lip. An area of skin outside the lips will be removed, then the lips will be adjusted to replace the excised skin and stitched in place. This lip advancement surgery gives long-lasting improvements to the size and shape of the mouth.
- V-Y lip augmentation: This technique adds volume to the upper or lower lips without fillers. After making incisions on the inside of your lip, Dr. Ran will draw the tissues together and stitch them closed, creating a lifted look. Because the incisions are made inside, there is no visible scarring after this procedure.
- Subnasal lip lift: Sometimes called the bullhorn lift, this lip lift technique involves an incision beneath the nose, allowing Dr. Ran to lift the upper lip up.

FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery Reviews
Big shoutout to Dr. Ran! She's the real MVP who finally fixed my skin issues. I've seen other dermatologists before, but none could do what she did. Dr. Ran really listens to my needs and knows her stuff, making her someone I trust completely. I've done two treatments and been on meds for months now, and never been so satisfied with my skin. Lucky to have found such an awesome doc!
I had a few consultations with different doctors when deciding on a big procedure and I'm so glad I chose Dr Ran! She does wonderful work and took time making sure I understood everything. I was very comfortable with her expertise and my results have made me incredibly happy! It was a much smoother process than I imagined and I will definitely continue to consult Dr Ran for future procedures.
I recommend plastic surgeon Dr. Ran. From the initial consultation, she was kind and cooperative until the final result. I am still waiting to see the final results and make adjustments...but the doctor, as she said, from the beginning, cares about the patient until the end, trying to help him as much as possible. All love and respect for her."
Great experience! We first had a comprehensive discussion about my concerns and goals. Dr. Ran tailored her treatment recommendation based on this and she throughly discussed the differences between multiple approaches, which helped me better decide which was best for me. I’m super happy with the outcome!
Dr Ran is very professional and she answers your questions into very details. All staffs there are warm and welcoming.

How long does lip augmentation last?
Unlike temporary fillers, surgical lip augmentation provides long-lasting results. A lip lift or V-Y lip augmentation creates permanent structural changes to the lips, enhancing their shape and position. While natural aging may still affect the lips over time, these procedures offer more durable improvements compared to injectable options. Patients can enjoy fuller, more defined lips for years without the need for frequent maintenance treatments.
Will lip augmentation surgery make my lips look overdone?
Surgical lip augmentation is designed to enhance the natural proportions of your lips rather than create an exaggerated or unnatural appearance. A lip lift subtly shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, making the lips look more youthful and defined without adding excessive volume. The V-Y lip augmentation increases fullness using your own tissue rather than fillers, allowing for a soft, natural enhancement. Dr. Ran customizes each procedure based on facial balance and patient goals to ensure results that complement your features.
Why should I choose lip surgery vs. fillers?
Unlike dermal fillers, which require frequent maintenance and can sometimes create a temporary swollen appearance, surgical lip augmentation provides long-lasting, structural improvements to the lips. These procedures also allow for more precise contouring of the lips and can be ideal for those who have not achieved their desired results with fillers or prefer a permanent solution.
