What is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is cosmetic plastic surgery. This invasive procedure induces fat tissues into the lips. It assists one in achieving the desired plumped lips. Additionally, lip enhancement is also helpful in correcting lip deformities like cut or cracked shape lips. An ideal candidate for lip enhancement treatment is:

  • Lost the volume of lips caused by aging 
  • Once was diagnosed with multiple creases on the lips
  • Some are looking for a treatment to plump the lip volume naturally
  • For the creation of lips central pout.

How Lip Enhancement Surgery Volume Up the Lips

The lip enhancement procedure uses dermal fillers to volume up the lip size. These dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid (a natural acid produced by the human body). It bridges the gap of deficiency of acid in the treated. To do so, injections are used, which leads to minimal downtime. And the patient can take a same-day discharge from the clinic.  

Even though dermal fillers are minimally painful, plastic surgeons combine the procedure with anesthesia. Anaesthesia numbs the lip-connected facial nerves. Once the lips get numb, surgeons proceed with the lip enhancement treatment. 

After Effects of Lip Augmentation

Lip enhancement is a safe procedure with minimal downtime. However, some may experience swelling. This is normal and will settle down after applying an ice pack to the treated area.

The patient can experience volume lip size immediately after the lip enhancement procedure. Some take 1 to 2 weeks to experience the result. Typically, lip enhancement results last for one year; it may vary depending upon the candidates’ lifestyle.
