Lip augmentation is one of the simplest ways to enhance the face, with typically short recovery times. Whether you want to enhance thin lips, wrinkling or just want a plumper look, a cosmetic plastic surgeon can provide pleasing results to your lips.
Lips vary in size from natural full lips to thinner, much narrower lips. Sometimes, those with thinner lips would prefer a sensual, fuller pout, which makes them a great candidate for lip augmentation. As we mature, our lips can take on a thinner appearance. Those who experience this change, would also be great candidates for lip augmentation. Other candidates for lip augmentation include those with reconstructive needs, drooping lips, asymmetrical lips, lack of color, and smoker’s lips.
Lip augmentation cosmetic surgery enhances the lips and creates a sophisticated, smooth appearance of lipstick lines by filling the creases along the border of the lips. Lip augmentation can be achieved with the use of dermal fillers, which temporarily enhance the lips and lasts for several months at a time, or with the use of fat transfer or lip implants for a more permanent solution. Your cosmetic surgeon will discuss the best option for you.
Patients who have always been self conscious or displeased with the appearance of his or her lips, lip augmentation offers a very simple solution. A large number of patients who have undergone lip augmentation have reported an increased confidence in their appearance.
If you are considering lip implants, you should try lip injections first to determine if lip enhancement provides the results you are looking for, before undergoing a more invasive solution. Consult with your cosmetic surgeon before undertaking any surgical procedures.
Because there are risks associated with any procedure, it is important to select a board certified cosmetic surgeon. A board certified surgeon ensures the surgeon has undergone specialized education, testing and training in cosmetic procedures. Your surgeon should employ only FDA approved lip enhancement products, and be experienced in the procedure applicable to your cosmetic and medical needs for the best possible results and minimal discomfort.
