Lip Reconstruction
Dr. Albert Fox provides aesthetic lip reconstruction
using both surgical and non-surgical techniques. Purely cosmetic
lip enhancement/augmentation can be performed with soft-tissue fillers
such as Collagen or Restylane.
More permanent lip enhancement can be performed through the use
of lip implants (Advanta), fat
injections or fat transfer to the lips.
Lip reconstruction may be necessary to restore the
form and function of the lip. Trauma due to motor vehicle accidents,
dog bites, or falls may need local tissue flaps or other techniques
to restore the appearance and function of the lip.
Skin cancers of the lip due to long term sun exposure,
genetic factors, smoking and alcohol use, require the expertise
of a facial
plastic and reconstructive surgeon to provide the best possible
result. Depending on the size of the lip defect, special soft tissue
flaps are commonly needed along with meticulous wound closure to
ensure an excellent functional and aesthetic result.
Birth defects, such as cleft lip deformity also require
meticulous closure techniques to provide a good outcome.
Dr. Albert Fox provides both aesthetic and reconstructive
lip procedures to his patients. Please schedule a confidential
consultation with Dr. Albert Fox today.
