ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Lip augmentation is a set of cosmetic procedures that can give you fuller, plumper, beautiful lips. A variety of treatments are available for different kinds of conditions, ranging from injectable dermal fillers to lasers.
Dermal fillers for lips are one of the most commonly used treatments. There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected in your lips and around your mouth. These are known as Hyaluronic Acid Fillers which can improve the appearance of your lips by adding
-
Shape
-
Structure
-
Volume
Some other lip augmentation treatments are used to treat dark lips or gummy smiles. Lip augmentation can reduce fine lines and wrinkles around your lips.
HOW IT WORKS
Lip augmentation can be done in different ways to get desired results.
Lip contouring / Volumizing
This refers to enhancing the shape of the lips and making them look fuller, poutier. Different types of Hyaluronic acid fillers are available to achieve it. The choice of filler is based on shape of original lips and requested results.
Gummy Smile
This is a condition where a smile shows an excessive amount of gum under the upper lip. It is also known as excessive gingival display. When you smile, the appearance of your upper teeth is overshadowed by excessive gum tissue which has a negative effect on the aesthetics of your smile.
Gummy smile can be treated by one or a combination of Botox, lip fillers and skin boosters. The results usually last for 3 months.
Lip Flip Botox
Another popular way to get fuller, poutier lips is through a treatment called Lip Flip Botox. This treatment uses Botox instead of dermal fillers to give plumper and more attractive lips when you smile. It's very meticulous procedure and needs experience to avoid possible complications. The results last average 3 months.
Dark Lips
Some people develop darker lips over time due to a range of medical and lifestyle factors either genetic or developmental. Darkening of the lips is a typically harmless condition and can be the result of hyper pigmentation. It may be genetic or may be caused by various factors such as excessive exposure to the sun, cigarette smoking, allergic reactions to toothpaste, lipstick, etc., too much caffeine or even lip sucking.

THINGS TO KNOW
Before the injections, a topical or local numbing agent may be applied to ease discomfort. Sometimes, nerve block injections can be given before the treatment to completely numb the lips.
After carefully marking the areas to be injected, very fine needles are used to inject the substance into your lips. Following injection, ice may be given to ease discomfort and control swelling. But no firm pressure should be put on the treatment area.
Lipstick or other lip products are best avoided immediately after the procedure.
You should be able to notice a difference immediately. After you have healed, your lips should feel natural.
