Patients have several options for lip augmentation, ranging from temporary to semi-permanent and permanent solutions. For those who prefer not to undergo surgery or cannot afford the downtime associated with surgical recovery, temporary augmentation using injectable fillers is a popular choice. This option is also generally less costly upfront. However, it’s important to note that since reinjections are necessary every few months to maintain the desired look, the cumulative long-term costs can surpass those of permanent surgical augmentation.
