Lip Augmentation Options
Lip Augmentation in Dubai involves several options which include:
Lip fillers
Fat grafting
Tissue grafting
Lip Fillers
Lip fillers use hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane products which offer temporary lip enhancement. The results usually last about 4-12 months depending on the product used.
During your consultation, your provider will assess your lips and overall facial appearance. After examination, he/she will determine the lip areas that need to be fuller and plumper.
The procedure takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete and the amount of filler is adjusted to achieve the desired results with precision.
There is little to no downtime involved. The results are immediately noticeable with the final results being visible within 2 weeks.
Fat Grafting
Also known as Autologous fat injections, fat grafting uses fat from another part of your body for lip augmentation. It is an in-office procedure that is performed under local anesthesia.
Lip fat grafting involves harvesting fat from your abdomen via liposuction, it is then purified, and transferred into your lips. The procedure takes about 60 to 90 minutes to complete.
The results have a natural feel and look to the lips and are long-lasting.
Tissue Grafting
Lip tissue grafting is another type of autologous lip augmentation. It involves using a piece of your skin or dermis for lip augmentation.
This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 60-90 minutes to complete.
During this tissue grafting lip augmentation, skin is usually removed from your lower stomach area. Skin removed during a facelift can also be used for lip augmentation. Once the skin is resected, the epidermis (top layer of the skin) is removed. The remaining piece of skin is the dermis and it is rolled into a cigar-like shape then inserted into your lips.
The results can last for five years or more.
