Lip augmentations have become increasingly popular in recent years. Whether you have always had thin lips, or you want to return your lips to the shape and fullness they had when you were younger, a lip augmentation procedure may provide you with the look you want.
The Procedure
The lips may be temporarily augmented with collagen injections. Collagen injections take about twenty minutes and allow you to continue your normal routine
Alternatively, grafts may be placed for permanent augmentation. This procedure is done with local anesthesia and mild sedation. After the lips are anesthetized, small incisions are made on either side of the lips and the synthetic material is introduced under the skin.
After The Procedure
After collagen injection, there is some swelling which last for a few hours. You may immediately continue your daily routine. The improved fullness of the lips usually lasts for 4-5 months.
As with any medical procedure, there are certain risks, which should be discussed with a qualified physician.

How much pain can I expect?

Generally, local anesthesia is used in grafting procedures. This makes the procedure painless, although there may be some discomfort afterward.
