Are you noticing your lips becoming thinner over time? You’re not alone. Lip volume loss is a natural part of aging — but with SMAS lip grafting at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, you can regain youthful, natural-looking fullness. Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon, offers this advanced surgical lip augmentation procedure to help restore balance and vitality to your appearance.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Why Choose SMAS Lip Grafting in Atlanta?
SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) lip grafting is a highly specialized procedure that uses your body’s own fibro-fatty tissue, typically harvested during a facelift, to naturally augment the lips. The result? Long-lasting, permanent enhancement without synthetic fillers.
At Kalos, we use a refined technique that involves:
- Harvesting tissue during a facelift
- Transplanting it into the lips via micro-incisions inside the mouth
- Minimal downtime and virtually invisible scarring
SMAS lip grafting is an ideal solution for patients in the Atlanta area who want natural, maintenance-free lip augmentation. Whether you’re in Buckhead, Midtown, Brookhaven, or Sandy Springs, our Atlanta-based team offers personalized care, extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, and a supportive environment to guide you through every step of your procedure.
