Lip Augmentation

If you will get lip augmentation the result will stand in lips that are plumper and fuller. You will also notice fine wrinkle reduction in the area surround the mouth. Your lips can be injected with fat or collagen, based on needs and personal decision. Both solutions will bring on substances that will be absorbed and the procedure has to be repeated in order to maintain the visible results. You will be happy to know that technology evolved and there are also options available that do lost longer. We are talking about various possible implantable materials. The most popular used are SoftForm and AlloDerm.

During lip augmentation surgery there will be the individual’s own fat, a synthetic or natural biocompatible material injected or alternatively implanted in his/her lips. In most cases the wanted result is reached with the help of just one injection. The only real problem is that the lip augmentation injections have to be repeated on a regular basis.

You should be aware of the fact that there are many options available when talking about what will be injected in your lips. A lot of people opt for Autologen, which is a dermal implant material that is made out of your own skin and is injectable. We then have Dermalogn, which is basically HTM (human tissue matrix) that is obtained from tissue that was donated. An option is also Fascia. In this case we will see donor tissue that is made out of the white dense connective tissue, which is responsible for supporting your body structure. There is also a possibility to turn fascia into a useful surgical implant. Some doctors will also recommend Radiance, which is basically calcium hydroxylapatite or Restylane, which is injectable gel that is crystal clear and includes hyaluronic acid in a form that is similar to the one that is present inside your body. There are also other options available and we need to put an emphasis on the fact that you will need to discuss the actual type of implant with the surgeon doing the lip augmentation procedure. Discuss all the benefits and advantages of each, see the costs and then make your decision. Based on your body type the doctor will recommend some options and it is your job to decide which one to utilize at the end of the day.

You need to think about the effects caused by lip augmentation. We have noticed a lot of people that thought it will be great but ended up not liking the implants. There are some lip augmentation implants that are permanent. A common example stands in the highly popular Gore-Tex. We recommend that you go for temporary solutions first like fat injections or collagen injections. This is a reality because you will want to get used to your new look and see whether or not you really want this. If not these type of implants will disappear. If you like it, you can go for permanent implants or longer lasting implants.

Remember that allergic reactions can happen. This basically means that you will need to keep a close relationship to your doctor and let him now as soon as something is strange. Common examples can be given in swelling, bruising, bleeding and even migration of the implant. If you are allergic to lidocaine or present an allergy history with collagen you should pay attention and you might want to drop the lip augmentation procedure. The good news is that all is handled by the doctor. He will tell you all the risks involved and will offer the best solution possible, all based on your particular case.
