Lip Augmentation. This 57-year old patient underwent a bilateral lip augmentation with NovaThreads Twist. NovaThreads are a revolutionary non-surgical technique that can enhance parts of the neck, chin, face, and lips. NovaThreads are completely absorbable to the body, and studies have proven they can last up to 2 years. Using a local anesthetic, Dr. Tehrani used 5 PDO Threads on our patient to give her lips a lift. The patient was very pleased with her results.
