Lip Enhancement

Fuller or pouty lips have always been associated with sensuality and youthfulness. Some people are lucky to be born that way, while others may have had plump-up lips in their youth. However, as we age, the lips become thinner and lose definition, forming fine lines that can cause lipstick to bleed. But the good news is that Lip Enhancement can get you more definition into your lips and help you regain a youthful plumpness and confidence.

What is human-based lip enhancement and how is it performed?

A human-based Lip enhancement works by injecting a filler into the lip area. A natural or synthetic bio-compatible material, or the patient's own fat is injected in the lips. The injected material eventually becomes integrated with the natural tissues. The procedure takes around 30 minutes and can be used to correct different imperfections such as lipstick stains, wrinkles, fine lines and a re-assertion of the V-shaped dip, called the cupids bow of the mouth. Following treatment, patients are able to go home straight away and thus provide an ideal solution or quick enhancement for those leading busy lives. Since the results are temporay - lasting up to six months, regular top-ups may be needed to maintain its results.

What about the side-effects?

Following the treatment, there will be some swelling and redness. However, this swelling will subside quickly and the results will be visible immediately. There are very few other possible side-effects but some light bruising may well occur.

Who are the ideal candidates for lip enhancement?

Lip augmentation is ideal for anyone who has lost plumpness in the lips through aging or for those who just want to enhance the size and shape of their lips.

Permanent Lip Enhancement

PermaLip: With the advancement of Cosmetic surgery, there is now a permanent solution to lip enhancement, by utilising a silicone implant. This implant, called PermaLip is made out of soft solid silicone and has undergone extensive testing. It is fully CE Marked (Approved in Europe).

PermaLip is executed under a single procedure, using local anaesthetic and does not require repeated treatments. The implant is inserted inside the corners of the lips by making small incisions. The procedure itself is less than an hour and leaves no scarring. Unlike other temporary implants, PermaLip does not rupture or grow into the surrounding tissue, nor does it harden or degenerate over the years. The most advantageous treatment abot PermaLip is that, although permanet, it is fully reversible or size-adjustable, if required.
