LIP AUGMENTATION

Full, voluptuous lips are considered very sensual. If you are not happy with the appearance of your lips and want them to appear fuller a lip augmentation may be for you. There are currently many techniques used by qualified cosmetic surgeons to enhance lips.

Your own dermis (the deep inner layer of the skin) and body fat can be used to enhance lips as can synthetic materials. They all have various time spans (as to how long they will last) and give different results.

Body fat can be taken via liposuction and injected into the lips. However, around 75% of this is re-absorbed and requires various sessions of injections. Alternatively, the dermis can be used as a filler. This usually provides better results.

Nevertheless, there are many synthetic materials (semi-permanent and permanent) that are used more often. The best one for you will be assessed at the consultation with your surgeon.

 
Complications are rare however they include infection. These can be discussed with your surgeon before the procedure is carried out.
