As people age their lips begin to thin. Full, plump lips are considered to be a sign of youth and an icon of sensuality. To achieve fuller lips a biocompatible material is either injected or implanted into the lips. One injection is usually sufficient to produce your desired results.

Temporary solutions for lip augmentation are achieved through collagen and fat injections, both requiring repeat treatments to maintain lip augmentation. The reason behind repeat treatments is that the materials are readily absorbed into the body.

Benefits of this procedure include: immediate return to normal activities and the ability to experiment with different looks over the course of time.

Risks include: a potential for allergic reaction to materials used, many injections are short-lived and require consistent upkeep.
