Lip Augmentation
In a world where fashion features are greatly renewed, lip augmentation is one of the most prominent and widespread procedures around the world in the world of cosmetics and beauty, and while many people think that lip augmentation is related to one type of procedure, which is the filler, there are many other procedures for that.
It is a cosmetic procedure that is performed entirely in the clinic, as it contains a set of procedures such as filler injections or fat transfer to the lips, and even lip implants, where the advantages and disadvantages of the procedures differ according to the type, in addition to the time required for recovery and the extent of the results’ survival.
Types of lip augmentation
Fat grafting (autologous fat injection or fat transfer):
A plastic surgeon takes fat from another area of the body — usually the stomach — which is purified and injected into the lips.
Lip fillers:
Fillers are injected into the lips and the volume of the lips is increased according to demand. It is also possible to inject them around the mouth to get rid of laugh lines.
Lip implants:
The plastic surgeon makes a small incision in each of the lips and re-implants the lips in order to increase the volume.
Lip lift:
A plastic surgeon removes excess skin between the nose and upper lip (or the corners of the mouth) to retract the lips.
