Lip Augmentation Cost

So how much does the lip augmentation cost? To answer this question, we should take into consideration all the elements included in the procedure. It is important for us to realize that all of the elements in the procedure will cost us money. When you ask your plastic surgeon the cost of a cheek implant procedure, he may only tell you his fee for the procedure, all the other fees are still excluded in the amount he mentioned.

The cost of lip augmentation varies depending on the plastic surgeon’s region, the type of procedure performed, and other expenses included therein. According to national statistics from 2003, the average cost of lip augmentation ranges from $300 to $500. The average cost of lip augmentation for injectables is a little over $300 per session. The average cost of lip augmentation for surgical implants is approximately $1,325 per lip.

The list of elements doesn’t stop there. Other fees to consider include the anesthesiologist’s fee and the cost of the anesthesia used in the procedure. Prescription medicines like antibiotics and pain relievers are also part of the additional cost to consider. Lip Augmentation, just like any other plastic surgeries, needs some laboratory testing on your part to determine whether you’re qualified and fit for it. Of course, different laboratory tests come with various fees as well.

There are many types of lip augmentation procedures that a patient can choose from. This will largely determine the cost of lip augmentation. The cost of lip augmentation for collagen, autologen, dermalogen, hylaform, alloderm and similar injectables may be $600 per injection or may cost up to $1,000 per lip. These procedures generally produce pleasing, but temporary, results that can last for six months or longer.

The price of lip enhancement for more permanent, yet reversible, procedures such as soft form, ultra soft, and gore-tex implants averages one to two thousand dollars per lip. The results of these procedures are generally permanent, and therefore multiple procedures may not need to be factored into the cost of lip augmentation.

The cost of the lip augmentation with fat transfer ranges from $2,400 to $4,500. This method is more expensive than some of the other types of lip augmentation, but is considered the most sophisticated and reliable treatment option.
