Procedure of Lip augmentation

A bio-compatible material that can be natural, synthetic or derived from the fat of the patient is injected in the lips with the use of local anesthesia. The inject-able dermal implant material can be made from the patients own skin or human tissue matrix obtained from a donor tissue. A single injection can bring about the desired results. However the extent of success depends upon on the material used for implantation. The most common type of lip augmentation is done with inject-able collagen or fat taken from other part of the body and concentrated followed by its implantation at proper place within the lips.

Initially the lips looked puffed-up and exaggerated. However the extra fat is absorbed by the body leaving the lips having the fat amount which makes the lips look fuller and enhanced. If materials other than collagen or fat are employed for improving the shape of the lips, small incisions are made at the corner of the mouth and the material is implanted beneath the skin of the lip resulting in enhancement of the lip.

Most plastic surgeons augment lips by advancing local tissue from inside the lips outward to create a fuller, poutier lip
