Luscious Lips

The second most common cosmetic procedure after breast augmentation is making lips plump and sexy. While the majority of individuals who seek lip augmentation are women, men are also fast catching up. Having a nice plump set of lips is always sexy and erotic.

Today, lip augmentation has become a refined technique with excellent results most of the time. In most cases, lip augmentation is done with dermal fillers. There are many types of dermal fillers on the market and selection of which one can be difficult. In most cases, it is the physician who selects the dermal filler. The dermal fillers already come as a solution or in a prefilled syringe. Some dermal fillers are like thin plastic and sometimes even fat is used to plump-up lips. For the plastic type lip filler, one needs to make a tiny incision to insert them.

Despite all the hype about permanent lip fillers, there are just a few and even those are not completely permanent. The majority of dermal fillers are temporary and last anywhere from 3-9 months. The newer materials may last a few years.

In some cases, fat is obtained from buttocks or abdomen and then injected in the lips. This requires surgery to get fat from the buttock area. The big advantage of fat is that it is your own natural body substance, lasts a little longer, but is also prone to unevenness in the lips. Fat usually does not mold well and can cause bumps in the lips.
