Those who are in generally good health, want fuller, more defined lips, and have reasonable expectations are good candidates for a lip augmentation.

How to know that you need Lip Augmentation?
Your lips have become thinner with age.
Your lips have become wrinkly or fine-lined.
Your lips are not balanced.

Two weeks before getting a lip augmentation, there are two things you can do to reduce the likelihood of bruises and swelling:
Quit the habit immediately.
Put down the aspirin and other pain relievers.

In most cases, lip augmentation can be done in a matter of minutes and does not require hospitalization.

A local anesthetic could be used to ease any pain you’re experiencing, since fine needles are used during the injection process to lessen the patient’s pain.

While using hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body, two lip augmentation treatments are available:
Juvederm
Restylane

Patients can immediately resume their daily activities after the injections are complete.

The lips may be slightly swollen and tender to the touch, but this will subside as the anesthesia wears off. If needed, over­ the­ counter-pain medication can be taken to reduce these symptoms.
