One thing we hear quite often from our London patients is a desire for fuller, more attractive and alluring lips. This is a common desire, and quite understandable – after all, your lips are among your more prominent facial features along with the eyes.
Enhancing the lips or achieving a fuller, more shapely pout can be done through lip injections, which involves administering a volumizing agent to the lips. The most common options for lip enhancement are dermal fillers and fat grafting. Both options can be injected into the lips to restore fullness that has been lost over time, or to sculpt a plushness that never was.
Dermal fillers have been utilized for many years to smooth away wrinkles and restore youthful volume to the face, reversing some of the adverse effects of the ageing process. The dermal fillers recommended for lip augmentation treatments tend to be smoother, with smaller particles than other formulations, and produce natural volume without looking overdone. Rupesh use Juvederm, an FDA-approved product with hyaluronic acid at the base. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in healthy human tissue and is widely used to treat wrinkles and augment the lips. Beyond adding volume, the hydrophilic nature of hyaluronic acid means that lips treated with this substance tend to look and feel more hydrated and less chapped.
