Lip augmentation with Dr. Anil Shah at Noses and Necks NYC in Manhattan is a highly customized procedure designed to enhance lip shape, balance, and volume.

What Is Lip Augmentation and Is It Right for Me?
Lip augmentation refers to a range of treatments designed to improve the size, shape, symmetry, or definition of the lips. This may include non-surgical injectable fillers, surgical procedures, or structural techniques that support long-term lip aesthetics.
During your consultation, the following are evaluated to determine if you’re a candidate for cosmetic lip enhancement and the right techniques to achieve your goals:
- Lip volume and symmetry
- Proportion between upper and lower lips
- Definition of the vermilion border
- Age-related changes to the lips
- Whether non-surgical or surgical options are most appropriate
This individualized approach helps ensure results look refined and natural rather than overdone.

Non-surgical Lip Augmentation
Injectable lip fillers are commonly used to add volume, improve shape, and enhance definition. Hyaluronic acid–based fillers allow for controlled, reversible, and customizable results.
Non-surgical lip augmentation may be ideal for patients who:
- Want subtle enhancement
- Prefer minimal downtime
- Are new to lip augmentation
- Desire adjustable or temporary results
Surgical Lip Augmentation
Surgical options may be considered for patients with significant volume loss, very thin lips, or structural concerns that cannot be fully addressed with fillers alone. These approaches focus on long-term support and proportion rather than temporary volume. In select cases, surgical lip enhancement may be combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive facial balance.

What is the difference between lip fillers and surgical lip augmentation?
Will lip augmentation look natural?
When planned carefully and performed conservatively, lip augmentation can enhance the lips without appearing overfilled or artificial.
How long do lip augmentation results last?
Non-surgical fillers typically last several months to over a year, depending on the product and individual metabolism. Surgical options offer more permanent structural changes.
Is lip augmentation painful?
Most non-surgical treatments involve minimal discomfort and use topical numbing. Surgical procedures are performed with appropriate anesthesia for comfort.
What are the risks of lip augmentation?
Risks vary by treatment type and may include swelling, bruising, asymmetry, or infection. These risks are discussed thoroughly during consultation.
What is recovery like after lip augmentation?
Non-surgical lip augmentation typically involves:
- Mild swelling or tenderness
- Temporary bruising in some patients
- Return to normal activities the same or next day
Surgical lip augmentation may involve a longer recovery period, which is reviewed in detail during consultation. Regardless of technique, results are monitored to ensure proper healing and balanced outcomes.
How much does lip augmentation cost in NYC?
Cost depends on the type of augmentation, complexity of treatment, and individual goals. Pricing is reviewed during consultation after a personalized plan is created.
Can men get lip augmentation?
Yes. Lip augmentation can benefit men seeking subtle balance, symmetry, or restoration of age-related volume loss when performed conservatively.
Is lip filler reversible?
Yes, most modern lip fillers used today are made from hyaluronic acid and can be safely reversed if needed. A specialized enzyme can dissolve the filler in cases of overcorrection, asymmetry, or patient preference. During your consultation, Dr. Shah will discuss the type of filler used, how reversibility works, and when it may or may not be appropriate.
