Lip Augmentation

Unless you've got lips a la Scarlett Johansson, Halle Berry, Beyonce Knowles, Monica Belluci, or, yes certainly, Angelina Jolie, it's absolutely usual to prolonged for some improvements on them. Despite the fact that acquiring yours to grow to be fuller & well-proportioned will not necessarily land you a role as the next Lara Croft, it will definitely make you look good and feel even better.

With fuller lips, not only will you look more attractive, you'll also look healthier and younger. Not that there are no celebrities who have thin lips, but it's undeniable that those who have fuller ones have that extra appeal. Also, the effects of gorgeous lipstick can be more pronounced. All things being equal, you know where bright colored lipstick are best applied on.

As we grow older, it is not only our skin that can develop wrinkles, but also our lips. Thus, to maintain that youthful look, you'll have to get rid of those fissures and crevices by filling them up from the inside. Cosmetic surgeons use injections and a selection of injectables to achieve this. Some of their favorites are: autologen, collagen, dermalogen, alloderm, radiance, and Gore-Tex implants.

Today's lip enhancement procedures involve injections using very narrow needles that can be targeted to specific regions of your lips. Thus, you may focus only on those areas that need augmentation. What you want is a well-proportioned pair, not a trout pout. In this regard, such injections are therefore not only for those with thin lips but also for those who have specific areas that need to be enhanced.

One of the most common lip injectable is collagen, having been in the market since the 1980's. The entire injection procedure can be very quick, typically lasting for only 10 minutes with very minimal discomforts, if ever. One of the reasons why the doctor can expedite the procedure is because collagen lip injections already contain lidocaine, a kind of anesthetic.

Best of all, the results are instantaneous. Immediately after the procedure, you can walk out of the clinic, with that new noticeable pout.

There are a few things you might want to know about before seeing your cosmetic surgeon though.
Because of the bovine collagen ingredient, some allergic reactions can occur. As such, be prudent enough to undergo allergy-testing before proceeding. Also, you might want to be aware that while the effects can last for many months, it won't be that way forever. You'll need to set appointments for follow-up treatments.

Finally, don't expect to have an alluring pout right after the procedure. Yes, I know what I said, and I said 'noticeable', not alluring. At first, you'll have to contend with a tender and swollen lip or lips (depending on where you had the collagen injected). But after a few days, you'll finally have the pout you've always wanted.
