What is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that increases the size of the lips to make them fuller & more attractive and it is also used to treat fine vertical lines, smokers lines that can appear around the mouth.  

The procedure is used to help women and men of all ages, in this, we can go for upper lip or lower lip rejuvenation singly, or both upper & lower lips can be augmented at the same time. Augmentation of lips can be achieved by injecting special fillers into the lip area.

The procedure

Temporary lip fillers are mostly made using hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. Permanent fillers are made from substances like polyacrylamide hydrogel. These fillers are biologically inactive, stable as well as non-toxic.

Lip augmentation surgery in Chicago is carried out precisely and administered by a series of injections into or around the lip area. Needles are used to inject the treatment gel, which is fine and most patients may experience minimal discomfort during this procedure.

The results of treatment may not be definitive and may lead to temporary swelling in the treated area. Some areas may be sensitive and may require additional anesthesia after the injection. Normal daily activities can be resumed after the injection.

Lip augmentation is not recommended for people who already have thin or loose skin in the area to be treated or who have unrealistic expectations of the results. Patients with immunodeficiency or keloid (formerly thickening) who have scars should proceed with caution and consult their doctor before undergoing treatment.

What to Expect After the Procedure?

The most common injection-related reactions are redness, swelling, discomfort, itching, discoloration, and tenderness at the injection site. Painkillers such as paracetamol can be used to reduce swelling and ease discomfort. These side effects are usually short-lived and most discomfort disappears within a week of an injection into the lip. Tissue disorders and uneven results are also uncommon.    

Aspirin should be avoided as it can increase the likelihood of bruising in the treated area. Excessive movement of the lip area around the injection site is not recommended.

The treated area should not be exposed to intense heat to avoid the risk of inflammation,   As the product is integrated into the body, it adapts to normal body temperature. Patients should not be exposed to high heat in the treated area.
