Do you want fuller, plumper, and sexier lips? There is a good chance that you are not happy with how your lips look naturally. It’s perfectly fine if you want to change the way your lips look. Your lips make up an important part of your facial features. Having fuller and plumper lips makes you look attractive and helps you make a statement!

If you want to look that way, lip augmentation might be the solution you are looking for.

What is lip augmentation? How does it work? These and a lot of questions would be answered in this article. So let’s get to it.

What is lip augmentation?

Lip augmentation is a procedure in which natural or artificial filler substances are used to give volume to your lips.

What materials are used for lip augmentation?

When it comes to the choice of material for lip augmentation, you have a number of options. You can choose between natural and artificial materials. The natural materials commonly used include collagen derived from animal sources, fat or PRP. These materials are natural but they have an objectionable safety profile. Also, the results obtained with these materials are not long lasting.

A better alternative is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid in your skin is responsible for giving it structure, shape, and volume. As you age, your skin loses a great deal of its hyaluronic acid. The results obtained with hyaluronic acid are superior and long-lasting. Moreover, the safety profile of this filler material is excellent with minimal risks of side effects.

How is the procedure performed?

Before the lip augmentation procedure, the cosmetician would map your lips and area around it. It would help him decide how much filler material a certain area would need. Once that’s done, he will clean your lips and the area around with the help of an antiseptic material. He might also use an anesthetic spray or might inject a local anesthetic to mitigate the pain you might experience during the procedure.

After that, your cosmetician would start injecting the filler material. He might press that area and wait for some time to see if the results are as desired. If not, he might inject more material into that area.

Is the procedure painful?

It could be. But there are a lot of personal differences when it comes to the perception of pain. If you are someone who is quite sensitive to pain then you might request your cosmetician to use anesthetics before the procedure.

How long is the lip augmentation procedure?

The length of the procedure mainly depends on the experience of your cosmetician and your personal desire. If you want plumper lips than others then it might take longer. The whole procedure might take between 10 minutes to half an hour.

What are the side effects of this procedure?

Although the procedure is quite safe, you could experience a number of side effects following the procedure. These side effects might include:

- Pain

- Bleeding

- Infection

- Suboptimal results

- Allergic reactions to the material used

Are you an ideal candidate?

You are an ideal candidate for the procedure if you are someone who is fit physically and mentally. You might want to delay the procedure, if:

- You are suffering from an active infection

- You are suffering from a condition affecting your skin

- You have some type of bleeding disorder

- You are someone who catches allergies easily

To sum up, lip augmentation is a safe procedure that could give you fuller lips just the way you have always dreamed. Just make sure you choose a skilled cosmetician to get optimum results and to avoid unwanted side effects.
