Lip Augmentation is my favorite procedure! If I could choose any procedure
to have above all others, it would be augmenting my lips. Okay, and my
cheeks, but I digress, I LOVE lips! With all of the
lip augmentation options available today (and there are a lot!), having the
knowledge to make an informed choice is an empowering asset. I know that a
lot of patients may feel anxiety when faced with choosing a product as well as
selecting a skilled and experienced surgeon or injector. Not to mention
the ups and downs of the recovery process associated with lip enhancement,
lip lifts or
V-Y plasty.
My goal is to help you alleviate any added stress by giving you access to
straight-forward, quality information and a support system designed for patients
just like us!
Lip Augmentation
Central is dedicated to providing you with all of the information that you need
to help you make educated choices. Whether it be determining if lip
augmentation may be right for you in the first place, to choosing a board
certified plastic surgeon for surgery, or a great injector, who can give you the
results you desire. I am here to help! Having gone through several
lip augmentation procedures such as with
Gore-Tex,
Juvederm,
Radiesse,
Perlane and
Restylane as well as a
Radiesse removal procedure, I hope that my experiences
can help you know what to expect.
Although lip augmentation is very popular and has a long standing safety record, it is still
a procedure that must be prepared for both physically and mentally. There are
inherent risks and complications associated with lip
augmentation and the tendency to go overboard (lip greed!) that you must
contend with. I have included information on
complications such as infection, prolonged swelling, scar tissue, asymmetry and
more.
Knowing what to expect can prepare you for your journey to larger lips.
But arming yourself with the
knowledge to lower some of these risks is as much your responsibility as it is
your surgeon's during your procedure. Being honest about the state of your health
and adhering to post-procedure protocol can significantly lower many of the
complications
associated with lip augmentation.
Due to the dissipation of swelling, many patients may be disappointed with their outcome at
first. This is why it is very important to take
before and after photos
and possibly treat your lips in two sessions if using injectable fillers rather than going for it and
overfilling. Being patient is easier said than done during the
lip augmentation recovery period,
but speaking with other lip augmentation patients who can offer you their support is
invaluable. Be sure to join
us on the
Lip Augmentation Central Discussion Forum to speak with like-minded patients and
perhaps make some new friends in the process!
