Lip augmentation
About
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of various techniques and materials to enhance the fullness or definition of the lips. This procedure can improve the shape and symmetry of the lips and add volume to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance.
Candidate
Candidates for lip augmentation typically include individuals looking to enhance the appearance of their lips, including increasing volume, definition, or symmetry. These may be individuals with naturally thin lips or those who have lost lip volume due to aging.
Preparation
Before lip augmentation treatment, patients usually consult with a physician to assess treatment goals and discuss expectations. Preparation for treatment may involve avoiding certain medications or dietary supplements that could affect blood clotting.
Treatment
The lip augmentation procedure typically involves injections of fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, or fat cells, to achieve the desired lip shape and volume. The physician will carefully inject the filler into specific parts of the lips to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance.
Result
After the treatment, increased fullness, shaping, and definition of the lips are expected. Results are usually immediate, and patients may notice improvements in the appearance of their lips immediately after the treatment.
Precautions
After the procedure, patients are typically cautioned to avoid massaging or applying pressure to the treated area to prevent filler displacement. It is also recommended to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or excessive sun exposure on the treated lips. Regular follow-ups and monitoring by the physician are also important to ensure satisfactory treatment results.
F.A.Q.
Lip augmentation with fillers is an elective procedure that achieves a larger volume or profile projection of the lips, highlights certain areas and emphasizes the color of the lips (redness). In the clinic, we use dermal hyaluronic fillers from the renowned manufacturer Juvederm.
Hyaluronic filler is injected into the lip and this can cause pain. In order to reduce pain, an anesthetic cream or spray is applied before the treatment.
The lip augmentation procedure can last up to thirty minutes, depending on how much of the area is being treated.
The procedure is short and well tolerated, and there is no pain after the procedure. Since the lips are a soft tissue that reacts to punctures, it is important to emphasize that immediately after the treatment, the lips are swollen for 24-48 hours.
Your lips will be larger after the procedure due to swelling and fillers. Results from fillers alone will be visible after the swelling subsides within a few days.
You can most likely return to your normal activities within a couple of days, after the swelling subsides.
Dermal fillers in the lips last from 9 to 15 months, depending on the preparation that is injected.
You must be in good general health. If you have oral herpes, certain diseases such as diabetes or lupus, any scars or connective tissue problems, as well as blood clotting problems, then you are not a good candidate for lip augmentation. Candidates for this procedure are everyone who wants to achieve fuller lips, emphasize redness and who can accept that the treatment needs to be repeated every certain time.
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that aims to enhance the size, shape, and fullness of the lips.
Like any medical procedure, lip augmentation carries certain risks, such as infection, bleeding, or allergic reactions. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced professional to minimize these risks.
