Luscious Lips: Lip Augmentation 101

If there is one feature of the face which can make a female look glamorous and sexy, it has to be the lips. Next to the breasts, plump lips bring out a certain sexy appeal and eroticism. While men would like to change their nose, women if given a choice would love to change their lips – yes luscious lips are in style.

Can lips be made plump easily?

Yes, a full set of plump lips can be easily achieved with a variety of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are substances which can be injected into the lips. There are many types of dermal fillers and the choice is entirely personal.

Who should not undergo lip augmentation?


While most women can safely undergo lip augmentation, some women unfortunately should refrain from it. These are individual who have:

- a tendency to bleed
- have active herpes infection
- uncontrolled diabetes
- those who are prone to scarring or keloid formation

Where is lip augmentation usually done?

It is an outpatient procedure usually done in a clinic or at a spa. The procedure generally does not take more than 30-45 minutes

What type of dermal filler should I select?


For the beginner, never ever select a permanent lip dermal filler. Try out a temporary one first and if you like the results, go for a permanent filler. Most temporary fillers will last anywhere from 2-6 months. This will give you ample time to see whether lip augmentation is for you.

What should I know about dermal fillers?


Do not worry, your physician will discuss all the pros and cons about the procedure and what is available. In general, there are several types of dermal fillers – some are collagen, others are hyaluronic acid derivatives and others are plastic-like. The best dermal filler for you depends on what you want, how much you can afford and whether you want a temporary or permanent filler .
