What is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that creates fuller, smoother, and more attractive lips. Lip size naturally varies from person to person, with some being born with a perfect, attractive pout and others having thinner lips they may be unsatisfied with. Lip size also naturally decreases with age, and you may find your once full lips becoming less voluminous over time.
If you are unsatisfied with your lips for any reason, lip augmentation is a trusted and proven way to create a full, attractive, and natural-looking pout. Let’s learn more about your lip augmentation with Dr. Philip Schoenfeld, your Washington, D.C. lip filler specialist.
Lip injections in Washington, D.C.
Lip injections are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure. After applying numbing cream, a dermal filler is injected into the lips to boost your lip’s size and appearance. Small needles are used to carefully and precisely inject the filler. The procedure is done in our office and takes roughly 15 to 30 minutes.
Dermal filler for lips in D.C.
Dr. Schoenfeld typically uses hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for lip injections. Hyaluronic acid has a very natural appearance and texture and also helps moisturize and condition your lips.
Lip enhancement in Washington, D.C.
There are additional types of lip enhancement options in addition to lip injections. Lip enhancement can also include a lip lift, which is an outpatient surgical procedure performed in our office. Lip lifts are typically combined with dermal filler injections for the best results.

Lip Augmentation Recovery Process
Dr. Schoenfeld recommends that you rest and relax after your lip augmentation. Your individual recovery will depend on the type of lip enhancement procedure you choose.
- After receiving lip injections, you may experience mild swelling and pain. This typically decreases over the next day or two. Everyone heals differently, and some people can take up to a week or longer to completely heal.
- If you are getting lip injections prior to a significant event, we recommend scheduling your procedure at least two weeks before your event.
- After lip augmentation, avoid smoking and vaping. You should also avoid strenuous exercise for a day or two, and avoid dental procedures for several weeks.
- Please do not wear lip balm or lipstick for at least 24 hours. Be sure not to pick or scratch at the injection sites.
