Lip Augmentation
Treatment:
Lip Augmentation is the
procedure which uses synthetic or biological
products or surgical restructuring to enhance the
lips in many ways.
Augmentation can be achieved by many procedures,
some better than others. The ideal lip filler would
be soft, pliable and permanent, yet removable,
inexpensive and cause NO complications in any
patient. At this time and moment that just isn't
possible. However, doctors try their best with what
is available.
Many people naturally have full lips, and others
have a thinner lip, these patients could benefit
from lip augmentation. As we age the upper lip
elongates, where the skin from the nose to the upper
lip lengthens vertically allowing for a thinner
appearance, lip augmentation would be a great option
for these patients.
Indications for Lip
Enhancement:
For persons with small,
deflated lips, asymmetry, reconstructive needs,
dropping or sagging upper lip, lack of color,
wrinkling from smoking or aging and other
complaints. Depending on the problem there are many
ways to augment lips, included are synthetic
fillers, one's own fat injected, or surgical
manipulation of the lip to rotate it allowing for a
fuller look.
