If you are looking for ways to have fuller, plumper lips, or smooth those fine lips around your lips and mouth, lip augmentation may be your solution. Your lips can be injected with collagen by a medical professional, creating much fuller and sexier lips. However, you need to work with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience in collagen injections, or you risk the “trout pout” that we see all too often! Over-injected lips are not at all attractive, and it takes an experienced medical professional to balance the patient’s desire for fuller lips with a realistic outcome.
Some patients work with their doctors to have their fat transferred from another site in the patient’s body. This can be a natural way to plump your lips with your own tissue, potentially eliminating worries about allergic reactions or other risks that injectable filler can present. However, if you opt for collagen injections or a fat transfer, both methods are absorbed by your body over time and you will need additional treatments as needed to maintain your desired results.
Want some longer lasting options? Here are just a few other lip augmentation options that you can discuss with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon:
AlloDerm: AlloDerm is a natural collagen “sheet” that is created from donated human skin that is donated to tissue banks. Alloderm, which is also used in breast reconstruction following breast cancer, is implanted through tiny incisions into the lips through the corners of the mouth. When the AlloDerm implant is in its place in the lips, it becomes part of the natural lip tissues, helping to create a fuller, plumper and younger looking lip.
Dermalogen: Dermalogen is a type of injectable HTM, or Human Tissue Matrix, created from human donor tissue. Dermalogen is an excellent alternative for patients who have allergic reactions to collagen.
Fascian Injections: Fascian is composed of fascia, or the connective tissue in the human body that is composed mostly of collagen, that has been removed from human cadaver donor. The fascia is then processed into superfine particles which can be injected into the lips to fill and plump them with natural results.
HylaForm: Hylaform is a “viscoelastic gel” made of hyaluronic acid that will plump and fill lips without the need of a skin test. Hyaluronic Acid is a completely natural substance that exists in the human body and is biodegradable and biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.
Restylane: Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler thgat is made of “NASHA”, or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. Much like Hylaform, the Hyaluronic acid that makes up Restylane, will provide volume and fullness to the lips and mouth area.
Aside from injectable fillers and implant options, patients can also opt for laser lip rejuvenation. The laser helps to tighten the natural collagen beneath the lips to eliminate fine lines and make wrinkles less noticable. According to some medical professionals, the laser treatments may also stimulate collagen production over time, helping to create a longer term, and more natural looking, lip and mouth area.
These are just a few options, many more exist and the best option is the one that you and your doctor determine is best for you, your desired results, your potential allergies and sensitivities and, of course, your wallet! Prices can vary, but the investment you make in your personal appearance is one that can provide you with huge dividends in self-confidence, a feeling of youthfulness and how you face the world with a gorgeous smile with full, sexy lips!
