Full and shapely lips are a universal sign of beauty. Unfortunately, many of us are either born with thin lips or have lost their volume due to the natural aging process. In either case, lip injections with leading facial plastic surgeon Dr. James M. Ridgway offers the ideal solution – naturally enhancing the size and shape of your lips to create a more beautiful overall appearance.

What Can a Lip Lift Accomplish?

The lips are a central facial feature. As such, when you are not happy with their appearance, it can affect your entire look. Fortunately, our Seattle lip injections are a safe and extremely effective way to:

  • Improve the appearance of a naturally thin upper and/or lower lip.
  • Restore lost volume to the lips.
  • Enhance the look of lips that disappear when you smile.

An Overview of Lip Injections

Dr. Ridgway uses dermal fillers, such as Restylane, to create his patients’ ideal lips. To begin, he will cleanse the treatment area and apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort and safety. He will then inject the dermal filler directly into your lips using an ultra-fine needle, expertly sculpting the full and luscious lips you’ve always wanted.

Your beautiful results will be apparent immediately after treatment. However, there will also be some swelling, which can be minimized by applying cold compresses. In addition, you may experience mild redness, pain, bruising, and tenderness in the treatment area, though these effects will disappear within two weeks. 


Are You a Candidate for Lip Injections?

Dr. Ridgway is deeply committed to personalized patient care. As such, he determines candidacy for all of his patients on an individual basis after carefully evaluating the cosmetic imperfections they’d like to address. With that said lip injections with dermal fillers can be safe for almost any individual who is at least 21 years of age and wishes to achieve full and beautiful lips.

Although these guidelines should give you an idea of who can benefit from among the best lip injections Bellevue has to offer, the only way to know for sure if you are an ideal candidate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ridgway today. During that appointment, he will walk you through the procedure and help you determine if it is in your best interest.
