Can complications develop after lip augmentation?
While cosmetic surgery generally produces good results, one has to remember that things can go wrong. Further one must be realistic. Lip augmentation can make you look young sexy, erotic and luscious but sometimes the results are not ideal.
Yes, other rare complications of lip augmentation include rejection of implant or infection, which may require removal of the prosthesis. In general, collagen implants usually last about 2-3 months and fat implants last a little longer.
How do I know which implant to choose?
If you are not sure what type of a lip implant you want, the safest bet is to get a collagen filler. Collagen is a temporary filler and only lasts 2-3 months. The procedure is quick and the results are immediate. If you like the sexy and voluptuous look, then you can select a longer lasting dermal filler the next time.
Is lip augmentation covered by medical insurance?
In general lip augmentation is considered a cosmetic procedure and not covered by Medicare or any medical insurance plans.
Who performs lip augmentation?
The one thing all consumers have to know is that there are many people performing lip augmentation. The procedure is commonly done by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and cosmetic surgeons. There are also many other health care workers (eg cosmetic technicians, nurses) who have entered the field of cosmetics just to make money. So choose your physician well. Get referrals, talk to people. Ask for credentials and do not be shy. You will be paying for the procedure and you are entitled to ask many questions and get the answers. The most important determinant of an excellent result in all of cosmetic surgery is your surgeon.
What is cost of lip augmentation?
The cost of lip augmentation is quite variable. It depends where you go, which physician does it, and what type of dermal filler you want. In general dermal fillers start at $400 per session and most people rarely need more than 1-2 sessions to get the ideal cosmetic result. Fat lip augmentation is expensive and can cost anywhere from $4,000 and above. Some implantable fillers like Gore-Tex average about $5,000 and above.
