Fuller lips has become the “in thing” nowadays, with actresses like Angelina Jolie displaying a full and sexy pout that just sends men wanting to kiss it, and women envious. This and the constant barrage of photos of volumized lips in Hollywood resulted to the increase of lip augmentation procedures done.

Lip augmentation procedure is not only limited to female adult patients, men and even teenagers as young as 13 years old also had this procedure done.

Some have it done for the purpose of having more sensual looking lips, while others want to simply broaden theirs. For older individuals whose lips tend to thin due to aging, a lip augmentation procedure will give them a more youthful appearance.

There are a number of approaches for this procedure. A surgeon can use lip fillers that are either made out of collagen from synthetic materials, hyaluronic acid, an autologen (collagen from the patient’s own skin), an Alloderm (also a material from a human donor which is of course processed for infections), or fat.

Prior to surgery you need to meet up with your surgeon in order to decide on what certain form you are trying to achieve. A consult is also important to check if you are physically healthy to go with the procedure, because although it might look minor, it can pose risks and complications if certain precautions are not made. This is also the time where the surgeon can determine on what kind of filler will suit you best.

The procedure doesn’t take that long, it would only be around 30-60 minutes, and this would depend on the kind of work you want done on your lips. These injections can last you 6-12 months, and then you can go back to have it redone.

Pain is also inevitable, but it will also depend on the kind of technique used. However topical or local anaesthetics are of course applied for better ease on your part during the entire procedure. The needles used here are also very fine which contains pre-measured doses of the fillers to be used.

After the procedure, you might experience some swelling and bruising on the area. You might also experience some discomfort for the following days, but no matter what sensation you feel, make sure you avoid touching your lips.

A lip augmentation procedure can definitely give you a fuller and sumptuous lip that will also best define your features. It is a minor procedure, also with minor chances of complications but with striking results!
