Augmentation Lip augmentation has fascinated both plastic surgeons and patients for years. 30 years ago there were several operations performed to enlarge the lips but the surgery was not very effective. Over the last 5 years this has become a reality. There are 3 common techniques for injecting or inserting materials into the lip.
Most people know about collagen injections.
They are easy to do, work very well, but have a short life span. I also use a material I am very happy with called Alloderm. This is actual strips of human collagen and requires a very small operation to insert. Alloderm has been used for about 3 years in the United States with an excellent track record. The most common method used today is fat injections .
