There are many options when it comes to lip reshaping. Injectables and fat grafting can make your lips look and feel fuller. Insertion of a soft silicone tube can be a more permanent solution for plumper lips.
With hyaluronic acid injectables like Restylane and Juvederm we can add volume and fullness to limp lips. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular lip augmentation procedures your own fat can be used to augment thin lips. Fat is first removed with a small needle from a fatty area like the buttocks. The fat is then transferred to the lips and reinjected using a local anesthesia or sedation technique. Fat injections last longer than hyaluronic acid injections, the lips are in constant motion, so fat that’s been injected is partially reabsorbed by the body. Since fat is your tissue and cannot be rejected, nor can you be allergic to it.
This implant can be placed into the upper and lower lips for a more permanent lip enhancement. This is a patented, FDA approved device that has undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure its safety and efficacy. Perma Facial implant is made of a soft, solid silicone elastomer using an injection molding process to produce a naturally contoured implant with a smooth, non-porous surface that cannot rupture or deflate. Although permanent, Perma Facial Implant may be easily removed at any time.
