By Csaba Magassy, MD, FACS

Lips are often the focal point of the face, so it’s no wonder men and women around the world are opting for permanent enhancement. Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller, plumper lips. It has become a popular procedure and it has never been so easy.

Lip Enhancement
Options Fillers

These days, an injectable dermal filler is the most commonly used method of lip augmentation.There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected into your lips and around your mouth.

But the most common fillers today are products that contain substances similar to hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. It helps increase volume in your lips.

Fillers are temporary solutions, which can be repeated as needed, and have the advantage of not being permanent but the costs can add up for those wanting the procedure repeated.

Implants

For those patients desiring to change their lips on a more permanent basis, there are implants that can be surgically implanted to give you fuller and shapelier lips. Over the years these products have been improved to offer better results, less down time, and greater patient satisfaction.

A new product developed by SurgiSil is called PermaLip, which is made of a soft, solid silicone. It is a naturally contoured implant with a smooth, non-porous surface. The implant cannot rupture or deflate, and may be removed at any time. Available in a variety of lengths and diameters, you can choose the implant that best suits you to achieve a naturally enhanced look.

The Implant Procedure

One of the greatest advances is that the procedure can be now performed in a simple office setting under local anesthesia. The entire process can take less than thirty minutes and normal activity may be resumed the following day.

So, when you want to enhance your lips, making them fuller and shapelier, there are options available in the form of fillers, implants and PermaLip. There is no reason not to have the kissable lips you want – by Valentine’s Day.
