Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure done to achieve fuller, plumper lips.
It is no secret that demand for fuller-looking lips has increased over the few years. It is important to know if you desire a temporary or a permanent solution to lip augmentation.
In this article, we will discuss the various techniques for Lip augmentation and hope the information will help you in knowing what suits you best.
Lip Fillers
Lip filler augmentation is an in-office procedure and it involves strategically injecting the lip filler in the lower and upper lips.
During your consultation, your provider will assess your lips and overall facial balance as well as take pictures of your lips to determine the shape and symmetry of your lips. This will help in determining which lip areas need to be fuller and plumper.
Lip fillers are temporary and can last between 6 months to a year.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or autologous lip augmentation uses your own fat for lip augmentation.
Fat transfer lip augmentation involves harvesting fat from donor sites such as the abdomen, purifying, and injecting it into the lips. The procedure takes about an hour to perform.
The effects of fat transfer lip augmentation can last for up to five years and sometimes longer. This procedure has fewer risks compared to the other lip augmentation techniques as no foreign matter is put in your lips.
Tissue Grafting
This is another type of autologous lip augmentation and it can be performed alongside fat grafting. It involves using a piece of your own skin. The skin used can be taken from the excess skin during a facelift.
Once the skin is resected, the epidermis which is the top skin layer is removed. The remaining piece of skin is rolled into a cigar-like shape and then inserted into the lips. It takes about 60 to 90 minutes for the process to complete.
All lip augmentation procedures allow the individuals to see the results almost immediately. However, if you are considering lip augmentation it is always best to seek the services of a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.
