If you’re concerned about your lips getting thinner as you age, you may want to consider lip augmentation to restore volume. Nowadays, there are a number of alternatives that are available for restoring fullness to the lips, dermal fillers and fat grafting are among the popular choices. But what are the best options for increasing lip volume.
Best options for lip enhancement
Dermal fillers are among the best options for lip enhancement, especially those derived from hyaluronic acid. Restylane and Juvederm are the hyaluronic acid fillers commonly used to for lip augmentation. These are considered a good choice for lip augmentation; because hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is produced by the body.
Restylane and Juvederm work to increase the size of the lips, and also improve lip contours. They are temporary fillers that typically last 6-9 months. Restylane and Juvederm have a very good safety profile, and provide predictable results.
Hyaluronic fillers are also preferred for lip enhancement, because the results are reversible. If you are unhappy with the outcome, a protein enzyme known ashyaluronidase can be used to reverse the results.
Dermal fillers are injected directly into the lips using an ultra-fine needle. Patients only experience minimal discomfort with Restylane and Juvederm lip enhancement injections. Both injectables are well-tolerated when injected correctly.
In order to achieve the best results, it is important to choose an injector with extensive experience with lip augmentation.
