Choosing To Get Lip Augmentation: Who Is A Good Candidate?

The most common and popular methods to plump and improve lips are injectable treatments. Certain products can also be implanted into the lips to improve their shape and fullness.

Healthy adults can consider lip augmentation if they dislike having:

• small, thin lips,
• lips that are smaller due to aging,
• lips with wrinkles caused by aging or smoking, or
• asymmetrical lips.

Not everyone is a good candidate for lip enhancement in Toronto. Some oral conditions or an active oral herpes outbreak are contraindicated with lip augmentation.

Your Lip Augmentation

There are two main methods for lip augmentation: injection and implants. Injections are the most common treatment. Injections are quick, the results are long-lasting (but not permanent), and there is little or no downtime associated with injections.

Lips are frequently injected with products that contain hyaluronic acid, such as JUVÉDERM in Toronto. The skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid, but over time your skin produces less. Loss of hyaluronic acid in the skin makes it thinner and less plump. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, including the lips, makes them fuller and more youthful.

Hyaluronic acid injections take less than 15 minutes and most patients report minimal discomfort.

Your Lip Augmentation Aftercare And Results

The aftercare and results of lip augmentation depend on the augmentation method used. If you receive an injectable treatment, you may need to ice the area and avoid alcohol for 24 hours.

You should see the results of your lip augmentation immediately. Results may be very pronounced at first due to local swelling from an implant or injections. Once the local swelling fades, probably within one week, you will see the long term effect of the lip augmentation.

Most injectable treatments are not permanent. Results vary depending on the type of material injected. When the results of your lip augmentation with injection need a boost, you can see Toronto plastic surgeon Dr. Kara for a repeat treatment.
