TREATMENTS LIP ENHANCEMENT

The full, sensual lip set is gaining popularity, particularly with the younger women

Lip enhancement can substantially improve your facial look. However it is important, when contemplating such treatment, to be fully informed about the method and expected results. A thorough consultation with your plastic surgeon, well in advance, is therefore essential.

With injections such as Collagen‚, Hylaform‚, Perlane‚, Rofilan® etc. temporary lip enhancement is an option. Lipostructure, Soft Form®, Dermalive®, Alloderm® etc. are permanent methods.

 YOUR BODY’S OWN FILLERS

Lipostructure

If you want to avoid the injection of artificial material in your lips, lipostructure is a good alternative. Your own fat is being used in a purified form with the aim of transplanting live cells. When they start growing in your lips, the enhancement feels perfectly soft and natural.

In an area of adequate fat presence, the doctor harvests the cells with a needle. In a sterile centrifuge all unwanted components are removed. The purified cells are then transplanted to the lip by special injection.

This method is intended for permanent results. However, a repeat session may be necessary to arrive at the desired volume.

The same treatment can be given, at the same time, to fill out a deep set of grooves at the side of the upper lip between the nose and the corners of the mouth.

Your own dermis

I you happen to undergo plastic surgery with removal of skin excess, such as a facelift or body contouring surgery, you can ask the surgeon to use some of the discarded skin as a lip augmentation material. You can then count on a good and long-term result, as well as a natural feel to the enhanced lip.

 ARTIFICIAL MATERIALS

If you want the certainty of immediate and permanent result, there are a number of available alternatives. These can be divided in two groups: injectables and strips. Both of them give a somewhat palpable augmentation. Whereas it is relatively easy to remove the strips entirely afterwards, once artificial material is injected, it requires more complicated surgery to remove it again.

 LIP PLASTY

Shortage of the red lip contour can be corrected by refined surgical eversion of the lip. At the same time lip augmentation can be contemplated. The small scars remain on the inside of the lip.

 LIP SHORTENING – BUTTERFLY PROCEDURE

Aging can cause lengthening of the upper lip as well as narrowing of the red contour. By removing a piece of skin underneath the nostrils, this can be corrected. The youthful proportions appear again. A negligible scar is hidden in the shadow groove between the nose and upper lip. This is a local anaesthetic procedure.

 NEW TREND! THE ”PARIS LIP”

If you, are looking for a more stunning lip set, your natural lip form can be further accentuated by enhancing, not only the red lip margin but the cupid’s bow area as well.

The Paris Lip enhances the original lip contour that has faded over the years, even without the use of lipstick.

For the creation of the Paris Lip injectables are used, either temporary (Zyplast®) or permanent (Dermalive®). The treatment is popular with young women of around 21 who want to follow the modern trend. At the more mature age of 45 onwards, the Paris Lip ensures natural lip rejuvenation, regaining youthful proportions.
