Lips augmentation with lip implant

Lips augmentation with an implant is a plastic surgery to change the lip's volume or shape and correct congenital or acquired defects. Silicone implants preserve the natural shape of the lips and make them lush and plump. Implants are invisible with facial expressions. Their perfectly smooth surface prevents the ingrowth of tissues and the appearance of scars. During the initial consultation, the doctor evaluates the shape and structure of the patient's lips and discusses the purpose of correction with him. Also, before plastic surgery to change the shape of the lips, a digital 3D model is created that demonstrates the result. Then a medical examination is carried out. The lip implant installation includes several stages. First, tiny, almost invisible incisions are made in the corners of the lips. Then an instrument is inserted through these incisions along the entire lip. With this tool, the implant is stretched over the whole lip. Then the punctures are sewn up with absorbable seams. The procedure takes from 60 to 90 minutes. After surgery, a compression bandage is applied to the face, which must be worn for at least a day. Slight swelling and bruising go away after a few days. The procedure gives impressive results, which usually last for many years.
