any procedure that increases the size and definition of the lips; uses temorary or permanent fillers or implants
a general term that encompasses a number of cosmetic procedures, from implants to injections, all of which are designed to give the lips a fuller, more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
A permanent method of augmenting the lips is accomplished by surgically advancing the lip forward, with incisions placed inside the mouth. A dermal-fat graft, taken from the deeper layers of the skin, may then be positioned under the mucosa (the lining of the lip) to add additional "plumpness." Injecting fat collagen or other substances for lip augmentation is another alternative. The correction is not permanent, and injections must be repeated periodically to maintain results.
Lip augmentation is a procedure to enhance the fullness of lips. This is accomplished either by injection of a soft tissue filler, such as collagen or by the placement of synthetic or grafted material.
