Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the volume, shape, and overall appearance of the lips. This procedure is often sought by individuals looking to achieve fuller, more defined lips or to correct asymmetries. Lip augmentation can be performed using various methods, including injectable dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, or fat transfer from the patient’s own body. Hyaluronic acid fillers are particularly popular due to their natural-looking results and temporary nature, which allows for adjustments if needed. The procedure is typically minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia or topical numbing agents. Results are usually noticeable immediately, with minor swelling and bruising that subsides within a few days. The effects of injectable fillers typically last between six months to a year, depending on the type of filler used. Lip augmentation not only enhances lip volume but can also improve lip symmetry and definition, contributing to a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
