Lip Enhancement

Beverly Hills Lip Augmentation is an increasingly common plastic surgery procedure. The procedure is simple and usually has very little discomfort. You will most likely receive local anesthesia. A procedure can take up to two hours at your doctor’s office or outpatient center, depending on the complexity, and you will be sent home the same day.
Here are the options:
Injectables, such as collagen or hyaluronic acids, which go by different brand names.
Alloderm is a sheet of collagen created from deceased humans. Your plastic surgery specialist inserts them through tiny incisions made on the inside part of the lip. This material offers only a temporary fix, lasting up to 12 months.
Fat grafting is the surgical method of inserting your own fat into your lips to achieve the desired fullness. You may achiever permanent results, but this method varies from person to person. Because it’s your own fat, there is a chance that your body can reabsorb it.
As with any cosmetic surgery, there are risks and complications. You can have allergic reactions to implants as we’ve described above or allergic reaction to anesthesia.
You can experience bleeding or an implant that hardens, which may require removal. You also risk infection or perhaps even nerve damage in some cases. It’s very important that you discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to surgery and that you make your doctor aware of any existing medical conditions which may cause further complications.
Many people are extremely delighted when they have a lip augmentation procedure. Many people are giving the procedure as a novel holiday gift.
