What Our Patients Have To Say
Lip Augmentation Options
Most lip augmentation options involve an injection of a facial filler to increase the size of the lips, although implants may be used as well. Some of the options commonly used for lip augmentation include:
- Collagen injections
- Patient’s own fat from another area of the body
- Artecoll injections (synthetic material)
- Autologen injections (patient’s own collagen from another area)
- Dermalogen injections (donor material)
- Fascia injections (donor material)
- Hylaform injections (similar to natural hyaluronic acid)
- Restylane injections (similar to natural hyaluronic acid)
Each of these different types of lip augmentation offer patients some kind of benefits over others. You can discuss these options further with your doctor in order to determine which procedure is best for you.
Lip Augmentation Procedure
Once anesthesia is applied and the risk of allergies is eliminated, the filler is injected directly into the lips through a minimally invasive procedure that takes just a few minutes to perform. Proper placement is important in order to achieve optimal results.
For lip implants, the synthetic implants are inserted into the lips through tiny incisions at the corners of the lips. The most commonly used implants include Gore-Tex, SoftForm and AlloDerm. Once inserted, your doctor will close the incisions with stitches, and the implants will remain in place with permanent results.
Lip Augmentation Risks
Although lip augmentation is considered a safe procedure, there are certain risks associated with any procedure. These risks may include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, numbness, nerve damage, swelling and scarring. Most patients undergo this procedure with no complications.
You can reduce the risk of complications by choosing a doctor who is skilled and experienced in performing this procedure.
