Fuller, more defined, beautifully balanced lips — with dermal fillers, fat transfer, or a surgical lip lift.
Lip Augmentation at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata — board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon — at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.
Lip augmentation enhances the size, shape, and definition of the lips for a fuller, more balanced smile. The right approach depends on your goals: hyaluronic-acid dermal fillers for an immediate, adjustable result; fat transfer for a longer-lasting natural option; or a surgical lip lift to shorten the space between the nose and lip. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (Dr. Scottsdale®) tailors the technique to give natural, proportionate fullness — never overdone.
Dermal fillers — Hyaluronic-acid fillers add immediate, adjustable volume and definition; results last several months and can be dissolved if desired. See our injectables.
Fat transfer — Uses your own purified fat for a soft, longer-lasting result.
Lip lift — A surgical option that shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip to show more of the lip and create a youthful pout.
Filler — After topical numbing, filler is placed precisely to shape and volumize; you walk out the same day.
Fat transfer — Fat is harvested with gentle liposuction, purified, and injected into the lips.
Lip lift — A small incision at the base of the nose lifts the lip; the scar is hidden in the nasal crease.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.
