For years, lip injections have been a popular solution for anyone wanting a plumper pout. However, the media has also uncovered stories of lip enhancements gone wrong. From the occasional small and repairable lip scar to abnormally ‘bee-stung’, swollen looking lips, a fear of botched surgery keeps many patients from even stepping into the clinic for a consultation. When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, however, lip enhancement is generally very safe and can look very natural. It’s important to find a surgeon you can trust who will customize the procedure to suit your needs. While there are risks involved, they are minimal when working with an experienced surgeon.
