Have you ever imagined what it might be like to have more ‘plump’ in your lips? Maybe a more defined border or just a bit more all around lusciousness? Remember, you are not stuck with the lips you were born with or the lips that may be slowly deflating and wrinkling with age.
You’ve probably heard terms like lip augmentation, lip enhancement, lip injectables or lip injections, they all mean the same thing, changing the way your lips look by using a substance to “fill them up.” Now there are permanent lip fillers and lip augmentation products available such as Aquamid, Permalip implants, silicon based products, Gortex (which has had its share of unhappy clients) but it seems that any filler or implant that is made of something foreign to your body, carries a much larger risk of negative effects and complications.
Some doctors believe that fat grafting from one area of the body into the lips is the way to go but it is not permanent and unless done by someone with a great deal of experience, it can appear lumpy and unnatural.
Dermal fillers offer multiple thicknesses of lip injectables that are made from hyaluronic acid which occurs naturally in your own body. This means your body will accept it and very gradually dissolve it. Lip enhancement requires the tools needed to create detail and define shape so using a thinner lip filler gives the doctor the control and ability to customize your lips exactly as you wanted.
Sure, you may need to touch those lips up once a year but at least you aren’t stuck with a permanent result that you may be unhappy with. Remember that lips are also subject to fads and fashion shifts so a larger lower lip may be in this year, but what if you want to try something different next year?
With dermal fillers you have that option and the best part is that if you truly didn’t like the result, there is an injectable enzyme that will dissolve the product instantly. You can’t do that with permanent fillers and implants.
