Free Guides on Lip Augmentation Procedure - Making Attractively Lips

At one time, if you had unattractively thin lips from either heredity or aging, there was not a lot you could do, except put on extra lipstick and hope nobody would notice. With anything less than a professional make-up artist to do it, this ruse seldom worked. Thin, lined lips with puckered edges were just something you had to accept.
Nowadays, however, a lip augmentation procedure is a common and successful form of cosmetic surgery. If done correctly, the improvement is so subtle that people won't recognize what the improvement is. They may ask if you have lost weight or taken a vacation in the sun.
How Lip Augmentation is Done



There are two different ways to do a lip augmentation procedure: injections and grafts. The substance you hear most about that is used for injections is collagen, but there are, in fact, a number of different materials that can be used, often with less risk of a bad reaction than with collagen.
The surgeon may inject the patient with fat taken from another part of his or her body such as the thigh. Here there is no risk of allergic reaction and very little of infection, since the fat is sterilized before it is injected. It is also possible to extract collagen from the patient's own skin to inject, or to take collagen from a donor's skin.
There is only one problem with all of these substances. They are all temporary. A synthetic chemical takes the form of tiny beads. When it is injected, the effects are longer lasting. Unfortunately, it is not widely available in the U.S.
Lip Augmentation for the Long Term
Grafting yields more extended results. The grafts can come from processed human donor skin. Again, this can come from the patient's own body fat (grafting is more effective than injection). There is also a fairly new material that is rolled up into a cylinder shape and placed into the lip through an incision.
The surgeon may also bring material from inside the mouth into the lips, but this is temporary, like injections. If you want to try out a new look before going doing a full surgery, start with on of the temporary procedures.
Recovery is much shorter for a lip augmentation procedure than for most cosmetic surgery. Injections require only a few days of rest, while it may be a week or two before you can return to normal activity after a graft.
