Lip Implants vs. Lip Injections
Lip implant surgery involves augmenting the lips by inserting synthetic materials (via small incisions typically made at the corners of the lips). Several types of implantable products can be used, all of which are proven to be safe and durable. Lip implant surgery does require downtime. The initial recovery period for lip implant surgery can take one to two weeks.
Lip augmentation using non-surgical dermal fillers has grown in popularity in recent years, and for good reason. Dermal fillers are minimally invasive, can be performed in a matter of minutes in-office and require very little downtime. In addition, lip injections using dermal fillers can be performed in one session, or over time through a number of sessions, giving the plastic surgeon and patient greater control over lip volume and shape until the desired results are achieved. Today’s dermal fillers do more than just add volume to the lips. Dermal fillers are also effective for filling in lines and creases on the lips, for a younger-looking pout.
