Lip Augmentation
Full, sensual lips have long been considered an aesthetic ideal. Lip augmentation plumps up lips and enhances the look of the entire face. Recovery time after a lip augmentation procedure is typically short, making lip enhancement one of the easiest ways to make the face more visually appealing.
Temporary solutions for lip augmentation are achieved through collagen and fat injections, both requiring repeat treatments to maintain lip augmentation.
Lip Augmentation with Fillers
With so many different types of injectable fillers available for lip enhancement, you are sure to find one that suits your needs. The effectiveness of each lip filler as well as the duration of each filler’s effects will vary. The lip augmentation procedure is quite simple, lasting only a few minutes and having a low incidence of lip sensitivity.
Lip Augmentation with Fat Transfer
With this form of cosmetic lip surgery, Dr. Ali carefully prepares fat liposuctioned from one area of your body for injection into the lips. Since the tissue used in this method comes from your own body, it is less likely to be rejected by your body, and the result is supple, natural-looking lips.
Q. What is recovery like?
A. The extent of your recovery will depend largely on which lip augmentation method you choose. Only a topical anesthetic to numb the injection site is typically required, and recovery consists of mild discomfort for one to two days.
Q. What are the risks to lip augmentation?
A. Very few patients experience significant complications with lip enhancement, but like all surgical procedures, risks do exist. Bleeding, infection, and swelling are a possibility with any surgery. Side effects more closely associated with lip augmentation include lumping, scarring, numbness, cold sores, and asymmetrical lips.
Q. What are the benefits to lip augmentation?
A. The benefits of a lip augmentation procedure include fuller, shapelier lips, and a more vivacious, youthful appearance. Many patients experience long-lasting results that look completely natural.
If you would like to alter, resize, reshape or lift your lips then you may be a good candidate for Lip Augmentation. Call the office and schedule your Lip Augmentation Consultation to see what Dr. Ali recommends for you!
