Lip Enhancement
The surgeons of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery in Jacksonville, FL offer a number of innovative techniques and treatment options to help patients achieve their realistic cosmetic goals. For those considering lip enhancement, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our office to further discuss your esthetic needs and goals.
Lip Enhancement Options
Fat Filler
This is a non-surgical injection also referred to as “fat transfer”. The process involves removing fat through liposuction from the patient’s body, filtering this fat, and then transferring it to the lips.
Surgical Lip Lift
A surgical lip lift removes a small portion of skin from underneath the nose to lift the upper lip higher for a fuller, poutier appearance.
Dermal Filler
This is a non-surgical injection to create a fuller look for the lips. There are a variety of lip fillers available, including those made of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxyapatite. These are marketed under various brand names and offer varying results.
Botox® Lip Flip
Botox® is a wrinkle relaxer that can be injected above the upper lip to make the top lip “flip out”, which reveals more pink and gives the lip a fuller, more attractive contour.
Lip Fillers Ponte Vedra Beach
Lip enhancement using injectable lip fillers is performed in-office and usually takes about 30 minutes. A local numbing anesthetic is generally used for injections. These injections are made through a cannula that is placed inside the lip. The filler will be injected in layers until the desired fullness has been achieved. Some patients will need to have this process repeated several times, depending on how quickly the body absorbs the injected material. At Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery, we use a cannula instead of a needle to administer filler. The benefits of using a cannula instead include better precision and control; less swelling and bruising, and fewer injections required.
Injections will slowly absorb into the body and thus the lips will naturally become smaller when an injection is involved. After injections, the lips will be sore and swollen for a few days. This subsides and the results are fuller soft lips.
“I have been coming to PVPS since I moved to Jacksonville about four years ago, and I absolutely love this place! The whole process from my consultation to my follow-up visits was beyond impressive and relaxing. I have continuously received Botox and have just began doing lip fillers. All I can say is that all the offices are beautiful, creating a very relaxing atmosphere."

Fat Transfer
When the lip filler used is your own fat (taken from another area of the body such as the stomach, buttocks, or thighs), it is injected just like dermal filler.
However, first liposuction will be used to remove the fat. Many patients prefer fat transfer instead of dermal filler because the results look and feel incredibly natural; there is no risk of allergic reaction, and the results last longer.
Which Lip Enhancement Procedure is Right for You?
The good news to this question is that there are many choices and alternatives, each one offering specific benefits to meet each patient’s individual goals and desires. Patients who wish to have permanent results will probably be better suited to have a filler treatment that produces longer-lasting results (like fat grafting). During your consultation, all of these techniques will be discussed so that the right decision can be made.

100/10.Not to be vain but my lips look better than anyone I know & my face is always glowing…. Don’t assume I’m saying I did this on my own, I wouldn’t be this beautiful without PVPS!!!! In all honesty & seriousness, I’ve had breakouts for as long as I can remember & not only did PVPS help me but they also provided me with the skincare & regimes to ensure I don’t have to worry anymore. They have not only been the most kind, helpful & lovely med spa I’ve ever been to(trust me I’ve tried them all in jax) but they’ve made me so confident which in turn, has resulted in my life being AMAZING.SO, needless to say, go here. Also, they don’t push you into things, they aren’t pushers, no one likes a pusher. Not to mention the staff & how they have all become people I look forward to seeing!! Sarah Porter takes the cake, need anything or have questions, that’s your GIRL!
Katelyn did an AMAZING job with my lips. She listened to my “wants” when it came to my lips and she accomplished just that and more! She walked me through every step and made sure I was happy with everything. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone!
Katelyn is the absolute best! I got filler for my lips and it didn’t hurt at all. She made sure I was numb before she started the injections. Katelyn is very professional but personable. I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I got natural looking results which is exactly what I wanted.
I had a wonderful experience with Carrie.. She Really listens to what you want to achieve and explains the best way to achieve that.I had my lips done today.And they already look amazing.. It was also pretty painless , which it has not been in the past , with other providers.. Highly recommend her for your filler needs!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Carrie is truly AMAZING. From the moment you sit in her chair, she makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease. Her personality is warm, reassuring, and genuine, and she really takes the time to get to know her patients—not just what you want done, but your comfort level and pain tolerance too.I have zero pain tolerance, so lip filler is a huge stressor for me, and Carrie goes above and beyond every single time. She makes sure everything is properly numbed, checks in constantly, and walks me through what to expect with each injection—letting me know honestly if there may be discomfort so there are no surprises. That level of care makes all the difference.She’s patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful in her approach. I trust her completely and wouldn’t go to anyone else. If you’re looking for an esthetician who truly cares about you and your experience, Carrie is the one. 💕
