A plumper and fuller lip is within your reach as the field of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals have collaborated. This highly anticipated collaboration gave birth to highly convenient techniques of augmenting one’s appearance without being involved in surgeries and other invasive procedures.

A lot of women have been dreaming of having lips like that of celebrities on glossy magazines- plump, pinkish and pouty. These qualities can be achieved through a simple yet effective procedure called Lip Injection. Lip Injections are done to augment the appearance of one’s lips. Be it due to a naturally unwanted appearance of the lips, or due to one’s aging, when the lips become thinner and wrinkles start to appear around the mouth.

Lip Injection Basics

Basically, a lip injection works by instilling a solution in the lip area through a syringe. Commonly, Restylane or Juvederm is the substance injected into the area. As these substances need to be injected, there is always a presence of pain but pain can be managed by local anesthetics. The procedure may last from thirty minutes to one hour and several sessions need to be done in order to achieve the best results. The effect of lip injections last from six to twelve months.

In other instances, fat/ adipose tissues from the patient himself is aspirated and injected to the lips. These fats may be aspirated from the abdomen, most commonly, or in other areas where fats are commonly stored. Because this fat came from the patient himself, there is no chance of having adverse chemical reactions, making the procedure ideally safe. A drawback of using fats is that it is reabsorbed faster than the synthetic substances, and can last as long as six months.

Benefits of Lip Injections

Lip injections can be done routinely in order to prolong and sustain the desired look of the person. Unlike making use of topical substances in order to make the lip plumper, lip injections eliminates hassle and the waiting time for lips to turn plump as the results are almost immediate and longer lasting.

Lip injections are also more natural looking as the lips are pouty even without the gloss or sheen, unlike using gels or collagen substances to make lips look fuller and more sensual. More than that, the wrinkles and lines which are accumulating around the mouth can be eliminated because of the plumping effect of these injectibles, thus giving you a more juvenile and tempting look- an appearance which would surely make your friends envy more and more.
