Permanently Enhance Your Lips with Augmentation

Have you always wanted fuller or more defined lips? Genetics do not always give you the look you desire for your features. However, there are options to improve features like your lips to give you what genetics did not. Lip augmentation can permanently change the shape or fullness of your lips to give you the pucker and smile you always wanted.

Lip Augmentation Options

There is not a one-size-fits all when it comes to lip cosmetic procedures. Like any facial feature, you want your lips to blend with your other features and look balanced. Too much enhancement may make your lips look out of place, but too thin of lips without shape can detract from your smile. A talented plastic surgeon can help you find the right shape and fullness for your lips to make you look your best. Some lip augmentations you may consider include:

  • Enhance the Cupid’s bow at the top of your lip
  • Fat injections or transfers for improved fullness and reduced lines
  • Lip implants
  • Lip lift

Some people only want thicker lips, while others want to add volume and change their lip shape. If lost volume is due to getting older, you may also want to fill in lines around the lips. You can work with your plastic surgeon to find the best combination of techniques to create the look you desire.

Your lips and smile are one of the first features that people notice about you. Make your lips look their best by seeking the assistance of a plastic surgeon. Schedule a consultation with a talented plastic surgeon to discuss permanently enhancing your lips through augmentation.

Temporary vs Permanent Lip Augmentation

Lips are the outline of your smile, the pout when you’re sad, and an important part of your facial appearance. Lips that are full are equated with sensuality and youthful attractiveness, but not everyone has the plump, defined lips they prefer. Cosmetic treatments can help add volume to lips either temporarily or permanently. Here are the differences between the options available if you are considering lip augmentation.

Temporary Lip Volume

There are two main options to temporarily add volume to your lips: dermal fillers and fat injections. Dermal fillers can be injected to add volume to lips for anywhere from six months to over a year. Fillers can plump the lips and smooth lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Fat injections adds your own transferred fat to thicken lips, but it only lasts about six months. Both options need to be repeated to maintain the results.

Permanent Lip Enhancements

For permanent changes to your lips, plastic surgery can be performed. To add volume, implants or fat grafting can be performed to permanently augment the lips. Surgery can also be used to create a more pronounced Cupid’s bow or change the shape of the lips. The results will not go away, so repeated procedures are not needed to keep the appearance.

Temporary cosmetic procedures are a great way to “try on” more volume for your lips. But, if you want to change the shape or get long-lasting volume, plastic surgery is the best option. Experienced facial plastic surgeons can offer both procedures to help you get the lips you desire, whether you want to try a temporary filler or undergo permanent cosmetic surgery.

Do You Want Fuller, More Defined Lips? Lip Augmentation May be the Answer

Lips are one of the most sensual features on a woman’s face. Many women desire full, plump lips with a distinct Cupid’s bow on the upper lip, highlighting the perfect smile. However, not everyone is born with the genetics needed to produce these pouty lips, and many women lose lip fullness as they age. Luckily, there are many cosmetic procedures which have been designed to give women with thin or straight-lined lips the luscious mouth they desire.

Lip Augmentation Options

Every woman who wants to change their lips has a mental image of what the perfect lips would be for them. Some just want to have fuller lips, with no changes to the overall shape. Others may have full lips, yet want that signature Cupid’s bow to be more prominent on their top lip. Because of the wide variety of lip types and ideals, there are also many different options when it comes to lip augmentations. Some of the most popular include:

  • Non-surgical. The most common procedure for lip augmentation is injectable fillers to create fuller, plumper lips in a quick, non-surgical procedure. The results are temporary, but last approximately 6 months.
  • V to Y augmentations. To obtain a prominent Cupid’s bow, a surgical procedure called the V to Y is performed to give straight lips an inviting dent on the upper lip.
  • Lip grafting. For thin or thinning lips, a permanent solution is lip grafting surgical procedures. These use the transfer of fat into thin lips, creating a fuller, sexier smile.

There are also other options available such as lip lifts, lip implants and even lip reductions. If you want to change the appearance of your lips to create a sensual mouth, talk to your local cosmetic surgery clinic to determine what options will give you the look and lips you desire.
