Pucker Up For Lip Augmentation

Men don't care so much about the aging process on their lips and they don't exhibit signs of aging like women do around them. For this reason, women are the primary candidates for lip augmentation. With age, the top lip gets a bit thinner and you get that pruney look with wrinkles forming around the lip area. The volume of your lips could decrease which can add a few years onto your looks.

Lip augmentation can erase those years off your age. This cosmetic procedure can encompass several different types of enhancements. Hollywood celebrities are not the only ones who go in for lip augmentation such as that bee stung look. Every day women like you also visit the cosmetic surgeon to get kissable, plump lips. No matter where you go in the country, the procedures to enhance your lips will be relatively the same.

Different areas of the country may have different trends. For instance, collagen is popular with celebrity cosmetic surgeons because it is easy to know what to expect results-wise. There is also a product called Sculptra which is injectible just like collagen that can produce great results. There are a number of factors such as your health which may dictate the type of materials used in your lip augmentation. If you have some type of autoimmune disease, alternatives to collagen may be used as collagen can exacerbate the disease.

Lip augmentation is not a permanent procedure. Some results will last a few months before requiring "touch-ups" while others could last a few years. It all depends on the procedure used. One such procedure uses your own fat siphoned from other areas of the body to inject into your lips. While your body is less likely to reject your own body tissue, the results only will last about a year because your fat will be reabsorbed by your body. Synthetic materials such as those used in Sculptra and Restylane have longer-lasting results.

Most lip enhancements or augmentations are performed on an outpatient basis with some completed in just under an hour
