Do you want to improve the appearance of your lips? This is often done by people who want to pucker up their lips and boost their self-confidence. There are a lot of options available these days, which means that you must consult a professional cosmetic surgeon before making your final decision.
Who can get undergo this procedure?
It is advised to avoid getting this type of treatment if you have the following:
• Certain diseases like diabetes and lupus
• Current cold sores
• Blood clotting problems
• Scarring of the lip/s
Just like other cosmetic surgeries, this requires plenty of responsibility. During your initial consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will ask you about your medical history. This is an important aspect because you will know whether or not there are chances of complications, etc.
Lip Injections
During a lip augmentation procedure, the doctor will administer via injections, and most likely topical anesthesia will be used. This is often done on an outpatient basis in an outpatient clinic, and you will be able to go home during the same day.
Here are your options:
• Artecoli - this is a synthetic type of material that is used to plump the lips. Due to the fact that it is synthetic, there is a higher chance of an allergic reaction.
• Autologen - this injection makes use of your own collagen, which is extracted from another part of your body. While there are no risks of allergic reactions, the effects are only temporary.
• Collagen - this is extracted from cows and used as lip injections. Because you run a risk of getting an allergic reaction, your surgeon should do a test dose beforehand. The results often last from four weeks to three months.
• Dermalogen - this kind of collagen is extracted from human donors who are already deceased. The results are temporary and cases have shown that the body rarely rejects it.
• Fascia - this particular type of injection uses a special type of connective tissue that can be extracted from your own body or from a deceased human donor.
• Fat- either from your thighs or abdomen, fat is then injected into your lips. The results may be permanent and there is often no risk of allergic reactions. Fat implants can also be surgically done and your lips may get bigger as you gain weight.
• Hylaform - this is from a substance naturally found in the body, which is known hyaluronic acid. You will not face a risk of infection, but you may need more than one treatment in order to maintain the results.
• Restylane - this material is made of clear gel that contains hyaluronic acid. Because it is biodegradable, your body will absorb it within 6 months after the injection is done.
You also have the option to undergo a lip augmentation surgery. These procedures usually take about two hours and are done inside a clinic or an outpatient center. You can also get implants from alloderm, fat grafts, Goretex, SoftForm, or local flap grafts.
Recovery Time
It’s essential that you have someone who can take you home after you get a lip augmentation procedure. If you choose to get surgical grafts or implants, it may take up to two weeks for you to recover. Be sure to discuss how much time you may need for recovery with your doctor or surgeon beforehand.
