What does Lip enhancement procedure involve?

There are various methods used to augment the lips, including the use of implants. The most common way to increase lip size is with injectable fillers. The following are just some of the more common fillers used, including Restylane, a recent development in cosmetic surgery. Each of these fillers has its own set of benefits and risks.

Lip augmentation through temporary injectable fillers like collagen, restylane and Autologous fat are temporary fillers. As these materials are absorbed by the body, these temporary plumpers can yield only short-term results. The effect may only last as long as three to six months before another treatment is required.Many patients interested in permanent lip augmentation choose to undergo a trial with injectable material prior to having a permanent lip implant inserted.

How is the lip enhancement procedure done?

Temporary lip enhancement is a simple procedure, considered to be non- surgical and takes about 30 minutes. It is done under local anesthesia and is relatively painless. The procedure is done with small needles containing the chosen lip filler and a small amount of anesthetic to provide numbing to the area. Once the surgeon has identified the best location for injection, typically the corners of the mouth, a tiny needle is inserted and the liquid is injected in to the area. Variations to the techniques are used during lip augmentation, depending upon the type of filler.
