As the holiday season approaches, many people start thinking about enhancing their natural beauty in preparation for festive gatherings and celebrations. One of the most sought-after beauty enhancements is lip augmentation. Fuller, more symmetrical lips have long been associated with youthfulness, beauty and health. They can provide a more balanced appearance to the face and boost self-confidence.
If you’re considering enhancing your lips this holiday season, Dr. Maurice M. Khosh, a leading facial plastic surgeon in New York City, offers innovative solutions tailored to your unique beauty goals.
The Allure of Fuller Lips
There’s no denying that attractive lips play a crucial role in overall facial aesthetics. Fuller lips can accentuate your smile, enhance your features and make your face appear more youthful.
The March 2023 Scientific Reports journal reports that lips contribute to the beauty of the face. The projection and relative size of the upper and lower lips are as important to lip aesthetics as the proportion of the lips to the other facial structures. More protrusive and fuller lips, along with a greater vermilion height, are considered attractive in females. Upper lips tend to be more protruding than lower lips in attractive people, both female and male. Additionally, full lips convey a youthful and healthy appearance.
As we age, it’s common for our lips to lose their natural volume and elasticity, resulting in a thinner appearance. With the rise of non-surgical cosmetic procedures, achieving the perfect pout has never been easier or more accessible.
Volbella Lip Augmentation Injections
For those seeking an effective way to achieve fuller lips without the need for surgery, Volbella lip augmentation injections are an excellent option. Juvederm® Volbella™ is a dermal filler that utilizes hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, to add volume to the lips and help smooth out fine lines around the mouth. The treatment not only plumps the lips but also provides a soft, natural appearance, avoiding that overdone look that can sometimes result from less skilled applications.
One of the standout features of Volbella is its ability to enhance lip shape and definition. It can be strategically injected to create more symmetric lips or enhance the Cupid’s bow—the lovely arch on your upper lip—while still maintaining a natural look. The results typically last up to a year, making it a perfect choice for the holiday season and beyond, allowing you to enjoy beautifully enhanced lips for all of your festive occasions.

Permanent Solutions with Fat Grafting
If you’re seeking a more permanent solution for lip enhancement, lip dermal fat grafting is a viable option worth considering. This procedure involves extracting fat from another area of your body, commonly the abdomen or thighs, and then injecting it into the lips. The benefit of fat grafting is that it provides a natural look and feel, as you are using your body’s tissue. Fat grafting can yield longer-lasting results than fillers alone, although it may require a more prolonged recovery period.
Lip Injection FAQs
To further assist you in your journey toward fuller lips, here are five frequently asked questions concerning lip injections:
How long do lip fillers last?
Results from lip fillers like Volbella can last up to one year, depending on individual metabolic factors, lifestyle and the specific filler used.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Khosh uses numbing techniques to ensure a comfortable experience.

Yes! With Dr. Khosh’s expertise in aesthetic proportions, you can achieve a natural look that enhances your beauty without looking overly filled.
What is the recovery time for lip injections?
Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, some swelling and bruising may occur, which typically subsides within a few days.

Absolutely! Many patients opt to complement lip augmentation with additional cosmetic treatments, such as Botox® or cheek fillers, to further enhance their overall appearance.
