Lip augmentation is a procedure to creates fuller, plumper lips and reduces fine wrinkles around the mouth. Lips may be injected with dermal fillers such as Hydrogel or with fat transferred from another site in the body of the patient. Both filler and fat are absorbed and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain lip augmentation results.

Procedure
A natural or synthetic biocompatible material, or the own fat of the patient, is injected or implanted in the lips. One injection is usually sufficient to produce the desired lip augmentation result, which may be temporary, depending on the material used. Injections may need to be repeated periodically. Proper placement of the injected material is important. Whether you have always had thin lips, or you want to return your lips to the shape and fullness they had when you were younger, a lip augmentation surgery may provide you with the look you want. If you are dissatisfied or self-conscious about your lips, this lip augmentation can open up new possibilities for you to change your appearance and self-image.

Lip augmentation procedures increase the size of the lips to make them fuller and more attractive. The lip augmentation procedure is used to help women and men of all ages. The upper or lower lip may be treated singly, or both upper and lower lips may augmented at the same time.

As the demand grows for cosmetic lip augmentation surgery, patients must realize that all cosmetic surgery procedures carry risks. If you are thinking about having lip augmentation surgery, become an informed patient about the specific procedure and its risks. Select a qualified doctor. Have realistic expectations about the results and know the benefits and limitations of lip augmentation.
