Lip Augmentation
Patients looking for lip augmentation can now choose from several specially designed dermal fillers to create fuller lips, and smooth “smile lines” around the mouth that tend to make patients appear older than they are.
Dermal fillers are the most popular and straightforward treatments for lip augmentation, injectables are soft tissue fillers that add instant volume and contour to the lips on a temporary basis.
Fillers look and feel natural and have no downtime or long-term commitment involved, making them great for special occasions or trying out a new look.
The procedure involves only a brief injection session, with little pain or discomfort. In addition to volume, fillers can be used to precisely shape the lips for a sensual and youthful appearance.
How It Works
Lip augmentation with injectable fillers is a very simple procedure. Most patients do not even need topical anesthesia for the procedure, but it is available, if necessary.
During the procedure, which usually takes around 30 minutes to complete, the surgeon will carefully inject an appropriate amount of filler into the lips strategically to maximize volume and ensure a shapely and even contour. Once this is complete, patients can go straight back to normal activities.
Lip Augmentation Recovery
Recovery from injectable fillers is very minimal. Patients can resume normal activities immediately, with no activity restrictions. Some bruising and swelling is common, but should subside in the days following the treatment. Most people experience little discomfort following the procedure.
