Lip augmentation is the general name of cosmetic procedures generally performed to obtain fuller and more attractive lips. These processes can be accomplished using a variety of techniques and products.

Here are the commonly used methods for lip augmentation:

Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite are one of the most frequently preferred methods to add volume to the lips and correct their shape. These fillers are usually applied as a non-surgical procedure and the effects can last from several months to a year.

Fat Transfer (Lipofilling): In this procedure, fat cells taken from the patient’s own body are injected into the lips. This method may be an option for those who want to achieve permanent results.

Lip Implants: Lip implants, which are placed into the lips through a surgical procedure, are used to provide permanent fullness. However, it is not a preferred method because it is surgical and permanent.

Lip Pumps: These devices aim to provide swelling and fullness by temporarily increasing blood flow to the lips. However, the effects are temporary and do not provide long-term results.

Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections can also be used to reduce wrinkles around the lips and clarify the lip contour.

Lip augmentation procedures should usually be performed by a specialist plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Depending on personal goals and preferences, different methods and products may be recommended. Additionally, it is important to determine a carefully consulted plan before any lip augmentation procedure and to carry it out risk-free.
