Non-surgical lip augmentation (Lip injection)

This method involves injecting the lip with dermal fillers and is the most widely used technique. The dermal filler can either be based on collagen or hyaluronic acid.

Lip implants

This is a surgical procedure wherein implants are placed inside the lips by making an incision. Most of the synthetic implants are FDA approved and thus the chances of rejection or infection are minimal. However, utilizing the patient’s own fat as fillers will further reduce any chance of allergic reaction.

Studies have shown that the success rate of lip augmentation is as high as 75%.

However, these also depend on several key factors such as:

Age of the patient
The present medical condition of the patient
The method of treatment
Experience of the cosmetic surgeon

The surgeon may use ice packs to avoid any swelling on the lips and in minor treatments the ice pack will numb the lips temporarily.
Lip augmentation procedures are also done with local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia depending on the procedure type.
When going for the non-surgical injections, your surgeon will inject the selected filler along the lines of the lips. You will experience tiny little pinches on the lips.
The lip area will be massaged in between for an overall facial balance.
For surgical lip implants, an incision is made on the lips to place the medical-grade implant inside the lip pocket.
Once the implant is positioned properly the incision is closed by sutures.
