Dr. Bonakdar Explains: A natural lip augmentation is one of the most requested lip treatments I am asked.

For my natural lip augmentations, I choose a hydrating filler.

Patient Information: 23 Year Old Female

Dr. Bonakdar Explains: This is a first-time lip filler patient. She has a very small upper lip. Her ultimate goal is to have slightly larger than natural-looking lips.
