Lip Augmentation

Full lips have always been associated with female youth and beauty but they are also the facial feature that easily conveys signs of ageing.

The lip region is an extremely important area in the face when it comes to facial aesthetic enhancement.

Lip augmentation with fillers plumps up lips and enhances the look of the entire face. Especially those with thin lips can benefit from this.

Ideal candidates for lip augmentation

Adults of any age may be good candidates for lip augmentation. Patients with thin lips or decrease in lip volume due to ageing derive exceptional results from lip enhancement.

People who undergo lip augmentation should be in good health and have reasonable expectations about the outcome.

Factors to be considered

Because there is a possibility of developing allergic reaction to the materials used for lip enhancement, the candidates should report any pre-existing allergies in advance.

There is a wide variety of dermal fillers to accomplish lip augmentation but not all of them are safe for every person. Hence it is necessary to take care to select the method that is ideal for your medical and cosmetic needs.

Types of lip fillers

The fillers that are used in lip injections include hyaluronic acid. A fat transfer is another option, and it lasts longer than hyaluronic acid fillers. It requires taking a small amount of fat from another area of your body. It is natural, soft and totally safe. Fat transfer is a good alternative and long lasting but the amount of the fat to be taken varies from patient to patient.

Expectations

Lip augmentation will deliver a fresh, smooth and rejuvenated look that is long lasting. Fillers eventually wear away completely, the amount of time it will last depends on how quickly your body breaks down the components. However, in fat transfer, a certain percentage of fat will take and become permanent. How much stays depends on the individual patient. Occasionally a second fat transfer is necessary to attain desired goals. However every lip is different, and there is no set formula to ensure desired results.
