PUCKERING UP THIS VALENTINE’S DAY! Lip Augmentation Revolution
Over the last few years, lip augmentation has undergone some drastic changes. In the past, when it came to lips, just like breast implants, the bigger they were, the more favorable. Looking back now, they resembled platypus lips, and this trend that focused mainly on the size took away from the shape of the lips. In the past, lip augmentations relied upon collagen, silicone gel, fat, and sometimes even a dermal skin graft inserted beneath the surface of the lip. Today, with more advanced fillers, we are able to control the contour of the lip much more precisely. In the office, we use Restylane Kysse, allowing the lower lip to have a pout. It’s a filler that isn’t just a big lump of gel; instead, it’s spongy and responsive to movement. We’ve also revolutionized our injection process. We used to inject around the outline of the lip, but by changing the orientation and angle of our injection, we are able to elongate the “red or pink” part of the lip to counteract and mask the disappearance of the upper lip as we age. The lips appear fuller with better symmetry. The goal is to achieve a slightly enhanced look that isn’t immediately obvious.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, the kissable season is here. It’d be great to consider lip filler to enhance the natural beauty of your lips. The process takes about an hour in the office and requires no downtime. After the injections, you will experience slight swelling, lasting only 1–2 days afterward. Restylane Kysse lasts 8–12 months, whereas standard fillers only last about four months.

VALENTINE’S DAY WINE PICK
Tesauro Recioto della Valpolicella
“We become what we think about.” –Earl Nightingale
In November, Dr. Burgdorf and his wife sipped on this Northern Italy red wine to celebrate her birthday. It was so fruity and hearty and not super strong on the alcohol content that it made the spotlight for this Valentine’s Day. It contains flavors of chocolate, tobacco, and oak with notes of plum, blueberries, and black cherry. It delivers spicy hints on the nose and is elegant and well-structured on the palate. It has great length, and the tannins are finely marked. This delicious red pairs nicely with Italian pasta dishes, beef, lamb, and venison.
