Various methods for lip augmentation

There are several well-known methods to enhance the appearance of your lips. The most common ones are dermal fillers, fat grafting, and lip implant. Also, to make your lips more standout, along with the above procedures, you can try lip lift surgery.

Dermal Fillers

After applying a local anesthetic, a substance named hyaluronic acid will be injected, with Insulin-like needles, into various areas of upper and lower lips and around the mouth to make the lips plumper. By injecting dermal filler, it changes the volume and the shape of the lips, and the whole procedure can be done in 30 minutes at a physician’s office or beauty clinics. The augmentations of the lips usually last about 6-18 months, and if you want to maintain the volume of your lips, more injections are needed. Besides, the main reason that this method is so popular is because of its low cost in maintaining it.

Fat Injection

To enhance the lips by fat injection, the surgeon, with the help of a Lipomatic device, removes the essential fat from your abdomen and flanks and will transfer it into your lips. Creating the desired shape of the lips is a bit harder in this method compared to others, and the procedure will be performed in less than 60-90 Minutes by applying local anesthetic at beauty clinics. This method has proved to last around five years; also, the results have shown that the effect can be permeant.

Lip Implant

Enhancing the lips using lip implantation is performed by making a small incision in the corner of the mouth, and afterward, a silicone prosthesis with your preferred size will be placed into your lips. The incision area will not leave any noticeable scars, but local anesthetic on the lips is required, and the procedure is performed at the physician’s office or the beauty clinics in about 30 minutes. The main benefit of this method is that it lasts much longer than dermal fillers. You should keep in mind that after lip implantation, it may be difficult to preserve the natural looks of the lips while smiling and talking, therefore; other methods are considered to be more popular in enhancing the lips.
