Cosmetic Surgery - Pros And Cons Of Lips Enhancement

Cosmetic Surgery - Pros and Cons of Lips Enhancement

Big, pouty lips are all the rage in magazines and in Hollywood, enticing many other women to flock to cosmetic surgeons in order to replicate this glamorous look. In comparison with many other popular procedures available, enhancement is usually quite affordable with a short recovery period, making it even more alluring. But is it right for everyone?

When deciding to undergo lip enhancement, it's important to consult with a board-certified and highly skilled plastic surgeon. Examine any potential surgeon's patient portfolio carefully. Before and after pictures can give you a good understanding of his personal aesthetic preferences and methods. Both young and older woman undergo this procedure and fortunately it is not one size fits all. Surgeons can successfully make both minor and drastic changes to the size of the lips.

There are many benefits to lip enhancement, including balancing the face, increasing overall facial beauty, and appearing more youthful. Both young and older women may find that their lips are uneven in shape or size, causing an imbalance that can affect the overall attractiveness and harmony of the face. Older women may find that their lips have thinned and lost the plumpness of youth. Lip injections can bring volume back into them to make them similar in size and appearance when the woman was much younger, or even plumper.

Another benefit of this is there are many different options available depending on your personal preferences. Injections are among the most popular forms due to the relatively affordable price and quick recovery period. Another reason this method is preferred is that the effects are often temporary, lasting anywhere from 6 months to a year depending on the product used. That means any undesirable effects are reversible with time, and you can easily have touch-ups performed when necessary.

Some women choose more permanent methods of enhancement which requires surgery. Implants come in a few different types of material, sizes, and shapes. Small incisions will be required in order to insert the implants, so some minor scarring is inevitable. The results will be permanent, but there is the rare risk of implant rejection and infection.

Depending on which type of product and method is used to perform the lip enhancement, there will be some risks. The most commonly feared and talked about side effect of this procedure is lips look unnaturally large and swollen, creating facial imbalance.

Although most lip fillers will appear overly swollen for the first week after injection, they will gradually take on a more natural appearance; however, in rare cases over injection can cause permanent damage to the structure and shape of the lips. There is also the chance of scarring, infection, development of lumps, numbness, and asymmetry.
