Lip enhancement is a hugely requested cosmetic surgery procedure most often performed via injection treatment. Lip injections come in a great variety of products and are designed to better the appearance of lips and the entire mouth area. While the most common reason for lip augmentation remains increasing the fullness of the lips, some patients choose treatment to reduce wrinkles and smokers lines, or to fill hollows and creases in the lips themselves or the surrounding areas of the mouth.
Lip procedures are generally well tolerated, highly effective and feature high patient satisfaction ratings.
Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation can make lips fuller and beautiful. However, if the injections are taken to an extreme, the patient will look unnatural and may suffer from what is known as “bee sting lips”.
Wrinkle reduction and line filling in the lips, and around the mouth, can provide noticeable and positive enhancement of the facial features and also is known to reduce the signs of aging.
After successful enhancement of the lips, many patients choose preventative Botox injections to stave off the effects of skin degeneration in the newly enhanced region. The combination of Botox and an injectable filler can be a virtual miracle for many patients who enjoy truly dramatic results from this effectual combination.
