Many women are looking to get plumped and luscious lips.
Many forms of lip augmentation are now available. Both surgical and
non-surgical options are there but mostly women prefer having non-surgical lip augmentation. In this procedure dermal fillers are injected in and around the
lips to increase their volume and make them fuller. The procedure is no doubt
safe as compared to surgical lip augmentation but still you should know about
the pros and cons of the treatment. Here we will discuss some common pros and
cons of lip augmentation.
Pros of lip
augmentation
Some common pros of lip augmentation surgery include:
·
It is simple, short and easy treatment, which is
performed on outpatient basis. It requires few minutes to complete, which are
quite less than the duration of lip implant surgery.
·
It does not require use of anesthesia unlike lip
implant surgery. This reduces risks of many complications. However, having
pre-treatment allergic test is necessary for the treatment.
·
The procedure is nearly pain free. It does not
involve making incisions and cuts that eliminates chances of experiencing pain.
The only discomfort that a patient feels is pricking of extremely small needle.
·
As the
treatment is minimal invasive, it does not cause any severe complications. The
side effects are extremely low and bearable. They may include slight swelling,
tenderness and bruising. The side effects can easily be managed with ice packs
or cold compresses.
·
The procedure requires minimal downtime. You
will be able to return to your work immediately after treatment. On the other
hand, people who undergo lip implant surgery require about a week to recover
completely.
·
The results of dermal fillers are temporary and they
can be appealing to many patients. People who want to experience full luscious
lips without permanently committing to look can benefit from this treatment.
·
Full and luscious lips beautify your smile and
facial appearance and boost your self-esteem and confidence.

affectivity, carries certain side effects and disadvantages and same is with
lip augmentation. Though temporary and minimal, the treatment also carries some
side effects. Certain cons of lip augmentation include:

every patient. Such fillers may cause allergic reactions. So, it is important
to know about all the products used and having allergic test prior to
treatment.

you will require repeated treatments after every few months.

permanent and require maintenance treatments, the price increases.
