Lip augmentation is the use of cosmetic procedures to enhance the size of the lips. This can be done using dermal fillers such as Juvéderm or Radiesse and through a fat transfer. Fat can be harvested from another part of the body and placed into the lips. Lip augmentation can be helpful to individuals who have a lot of wrinkles in or around their lips or who have thin lips. Individuals who enhance the size of their lips can develop beautiful, alluring smiles.
Dermal lip fillers can be injected during an office visit. The lips will be cleansed and numbed to ensure a positive, relaxed experience for the patient. Fillers are inserted into appropriate areas of the lips using a syringe. The procedure takes less than an hour, and very little recovery time is involved.
Tissue transfers can be done on an outpatient basis. If an individual has a fat transfer done, the donor area will be cleaned and anesthetized. Liposuction is used to remove the fat from the site, and the fat is filtered and sanitized. The lips will then be cleaned and numbed, and the fat is injected into them with a syringe. Cadaver and bovine injections are similarly inserted into the lips. If a surgical procedure is being performed, the lips will be cleaned and numbed.
Implant surgery requires a small incision at each corner of the mouth. A clamp is placed into each incision, and a shaft is created from one side of the lip to the other. The shaft is widened, and the implant is inserted into the lip. The clamps are removed, and the incisions are closed. A lip lift is performed by making a small incision at each corner of the mouth. A small section of the skin is removed, and the incisions are closed. This results in a slight upturn in the mouth.
The cost of lip augmentation treatment depends on the type of treatment, the amount of filler being inserted, whether additional therapies in conjunction with the lip augmentation procedure, the location where treatment is being done, the reputation and skill level of the clinician, and any ancillary fees involved.
Bruising and swelling will likely occur as a result of the procedure. This can be minimized by avoiding anti-inflammatory products. Ice packs can be applied to the lips to alleviate pain and swelling. An antibiotic cream should be applied to the lips regularly to prevent infection. A soft diet will need to be followed for the first week after the procedure. Smiling and other expressive movements of the mouth should be avoided, as should vigorous activity.

Collagen Treatment
Collagen is an essential component of the body in that it forms healthy dermal tissue. It is frequently used to eliminate wrinkles and blemishes in the skin and inserted into the lips to make them larger. Collagen can maintain its structure for prolonged periods of time and are useful in creating a pouty lip appearance. Collagen can help to give the lips a more defined look. Collagen treatment takes only about 30 minutes, and the results are long-lasting.
Lip Plumpers
Lip plumpers are an excellent alternative for those who cannot afford fillers or surgery or may not want to undergo such procedures. Lip plumpers are easy to use and quick to apply. They are painless procedures with minimal bruising and swelling with invasive treatments. There is no recovery time and no missed work. Lip plumpers moisturize the lips while gradually enhancing the volume and eliminating wrinkles.
Lip Threading
Lip threading is a minimally invasive procedure in which dissolvable threads are inserted into the lips to change the mouth’s structure. The thread stimulates new collagen formation resulting in fuller, more alluring lips. Because this method uses the body’s tissue through collagen production, so the result is a more natural look.
Make-up Tricks
