Facts about lips and & lip enhancement Part 3

For temporary lip augmentation, collagen is as good as any dermal filler. There are many types of collagen dermal fillers. Each has its own pros and cons and different individuals respond differently. Collagen is by far the cheapest but does not last long. The other drawback of collagen is that one needs to be assessed for allergy prior to injections. The hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Hyaloform and Restylane give excellent results, but are also expensive. Lips often look soft, plump, and luscious with Hyaloform

For those individual who want to tattoo their lips- this should be done before lip enhancement.

Other temporary implants include harvested fat, fascia, or dermis. However, use of patient’s own fat, human collagen or fascia is also prone to resorption (dissolving), and these implants require two incisions. One incision to get the fat and the other incision on the lips to implant it. Fat does give good results and lasts longer, but is very expensive and does tend to form uneven bumps.

Two negatives about lip augmentation. Lip augmentation is painful and does not always work. In a number of individuals, the procedure is a downright failure.

The best results are obtained with a decent surgeon. The decent surgeons also charge a lot of money. The majority of cosmetic surgeons and health care professionals who perform lip augmentation have mediocre surgical skills but have excellent business acumen- so choose your provider well. Once lips have been augmented well, they not only look luscious but kissing is even better
