What Is Lip Augmentation and Enhancement?
Lip enhancement encompasses a group of procedures that either restore or add volume to the lips. Additionally, these treatments aim to eliminate vertical lines around the mouth, giving this area of the face a smooth and youthful look. The most common procedure is injections.
Who Should Get a Lip Augmentation?
There are no real limits on who can get lip augmentation, providing that they are of legal age and openly discuss any medical concerns or allergies they might have with their surgeon. Remember that discussing your medical history and worries about the procedure with your surgeon is standard procedure and confidential.
Dr. Azizzadeh can help you feel more at ease by educating you about what to expect during and after the procedure. He can also examine your case to determine which type of lip augmentation will guarantee the best results.
What Happens During a Lip Augmentation Procedure?
After your consultation, you can make an appointment for the procedure. The process is fairly simple and happens in the office. The staff will mark the areas to be injected, and the surgeon will use very fine needles to inject fillers into your lips and in the area around the mouth.
The entire procedure usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. Afterward, ice might be given to treat any swelling and discomfort.
So, if you want to correct thin lips or lines around the mouth but do not like lengthy procedures or staying in hospitals, a lip augmentation procedure might just appeal to you.
How Long Is the Recovery Period?
Recovery time can be different for everyone. With injections, swelling will typically occur for a week, sometimes two. Icing after will aid in the healing process. It is also recommended not to workout for 48 hours after injections.
What Are the Benefits of Lip Augmentation?
Quick and affordable
With lip augmentation, you won’t have to worry about a lengthy or expensive procedure. You will get quick results and have a short recovery time to get the lips that you want.
A painless procedure
Modern lip augmentation is also considered a safe procedure, which brings comfort to those who worry about the potential side effects of cosmetic surgery. Numbing is applied before the procedure for a more comfortable experience for those who worry about discomfort. The procedure is usually painless for some patients, while others will feel a little discomfort.
Great and lasting results
Lip augmentation is known to provide patients with high satisfaction with their appearance after the procedure. If you want to maintain full lips, the procedure must be repeated once or twice a year.
