Full pouty lips are among the most youthful aspects of a face. Regardless of age, a plump pout is considered to be a sign of youth and an icon of sensuality. Many people have searched high and low for the perfect kissable lips and, out of frustration or lack of information, settled on collagen injections or other temporary injectables.

Over the years both women and men have utilized all sorts of devices, injectables, over-the-counter plumping products, and manual massage and still the search goes on for the ideal pout. Advances in medical science have allowed many of us to act and feel much younger than we may look. We are healthier, more active, and are not about to give in to a worn out appearance without a fight. Lip augmentation can significantly make a face look younger, softer, and sexier. Not everyone wants a bigger set of lips, but no one likes dry, chapped, peeling lips-no matter what their size. Dr. Abuzeni has conducted extensive research about lip augmentation products and procedures, and can help you choose the most effective option to achieve your desired results.

What are my options for lip augmentation?

Several products are available to augment your lips. These products are often referred to as “fillers.” Short- and long-term fillers are preferred over permanent fillers primarily due to their safety, but also because nonpermanent fillers can be modified as your features change with age, whereas permanent fillers cannot.

Several fillers are currently available in the US market. Read the Pros and Cons about these fillers to gain a better understanding of what is best for you.

Restylane is the ideal medium duration filler. Fat Augmentation is an example of a natural and permanent filler. Fat augmentation differs from other permanent fillers in that it is “autologous”; the fat is harvested from the same individual in whom it is injected. It is considered more natural and nonallergenic because it does not introduce any foreign substances.
