Lip augmentation enhances the contour and fullness of lips for a younger,
healthier appearance. Well-defined, plump lips are subject to sagging as we age.
The colored portion of the lips thins out and the arch of the upper lip (cupid's
bow) flattens. This problem is especially noticeable in women with naturally
thin lips. Lip augmentation is appropriate for patients who wish to enhance the
lips they are born with and for patients who wish to restore the lips aging
takes away.

Your options for shaping and sculpting your lips, correcting a lip imperfection
or enhancing an already wonderful shape with more fullness can be done with a
simple medical procedure, which includes numerous minimally invasive temporary
injectable fillers to permanent fillers and implants.
The gold standard for temporary injectable fillers once was based on bovine
(cow) derived collagen. Now we have fillers created from non-animal,
biocompatible (causes no harm to the body) as well as biodegradable (able to be
broken down by the body) substances. They have names like hyaluronic acid,
hydroxyapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid.

Permanent lip augmentation results in beautifully sculpted and lifted lips with
materials that resist absorption into the body, unlike
temporary injectables. This procedure is generally performed under local
anesthetic, and in some cases, light sedation.
