Lip Aesthetics
Lip aesthetics, commonly known as lip augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the fullness, shape, and overall appearance of the lips. This can be achieved through various techniques such as dermal fillers, fat transfer, or surgical implants. The goal of lip augmentation is to create more balanced and proportionate lips that complement the rest of the facial features.
Dermal fillers, often made of hyaluronic acid, are the most popular method for lip augmentation due to their non-invasive nature and temporary effects, allowing for adjustments over time. Fat transfer involves using the patient's own fat to add volume to the lips, providing a more natural and long-lasting result. Surgical implants offer a permanent solution for lip enhancement. Recovery times vary depending on the method used, but most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume normal activities within a few days to a week.
