Definition and Types of Lip Augmentation
Written by Deepak Kumar
Our lips play an important role to enhance the beauty of our face. Plump lips are always appreciated while the thin ones don’t render a perfect appearance. Taking from using lip dyes to latest lip implants, lip enhancement has been around for centuries. Some Hollywood divas like Angelina Jolie have gorgeous full pouty lips and girls want the same looks. Fuller and plumper lips not only give you beautiful appearance, but also signify your good health.
There is a myth that only celebrities undergo lip augmentation surgery, but we should not forget that the trend of undergoing lip augmentation has become very popular among common people. However, celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Kylie Jenner played a key role in making the surgery popular around the globe.
Lip enhancement has been a part of women’s personal care routines for a long time. The market is endowed with the outliners and lipstick, giving women an option to make thin lips visible and beautiful. With the process of aging lips begin to become thinner and less full. There are a number of ways to make your lips plumper, but lip surgery is the best option. Different types of lip augmentation and treatments are:
Fat Transfers: During this procedure, the surgeon removes a small amount of fat from one area of your body, and injects it into the lips to give you fuller lips. In majority of cases, the fat is taken either from the thighs or abdomen, but fat can be taken from any part of your body where enough fat cells are available. After the removal, the fat is purified using a special process, and is injected back into the lips. People often prefer this method, because the fat is taken from their own body and the chances of negative reaction are minimal. The result of the procedure last up to a year, but several patients reveal that the results last much longer.
Chemical injections: There are different chemical formulas which have been designed to enhance the shape of the lips. These substances can be injected by a trained surgeon only. The results last from one month to a year, depending more on the person and type of the injection given. Majority of people enjoy the results of injections, but some react badly to these chemicals, and may suffer from lip swelling.
Laser Treatment: These treatments are used to reduce the line around your lips, smooth the skin, and raise the level of collagen production. Since injections are not required in the treatment, it may be a great choice for the ones who don’t like needles.
