If you suffer from Skinny Lip syndrome and harbor a secret desire to resemble Angelina Jolie, several options are available. You can become a professional apiarist, or beekeeper, and have a heaving hive on hand to keep your lips freshly stung and plump. You can only eat foods you know will produce an allergic reaction around your mouth. Or you can invest in a decent dermal Lip fillers London.
Remember, however, that while full, kissable lips are in, trout pouts are not. If you want to make the most of your lips, both literally and figuratively, do it right. Choose a surgeon or practitioner who knows what her or she is doing, and don't go for the latest fad. Lip augmentation can take an hour, correcting a serious mistake can take years - often with little result.
Lip enhancement can be done in a variety of ways, and can not only plump up your lips but also smooth out wrinkles around the mouth, which normally occur either with age and/or as a result of smoking. And it's not just a girl thing: both women and occasionally men seek out this form of non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
Most dermal Lip fillers near me are temporary, meaning that they will require top-ups over a period of time. While some advertise their permanence, the result of permanent fillers often is lumpy and bumpy, so it's advised to stay away. All fillers are injected using a local anesthetic and there is usually some bruising and swelling afterward which should subside within a few days, and itching and localized pain at the site are also common.
Playing it Safe
The vast majority of people who want plastic surgery on their lips seek to have them augmented, by making them fuller and plumper. Yet, believe it or not, there are some people who seek the opposite effect. If your lips are too large and you want to turn down their volume, this is a simple walk-in procedure that can be done quickly (but not painlessly). You can choose to have one lip reduced, or both. Just make sure you end up with a matching set!
For most of us, however, lip enhancement is shorthand for bigger is better, a modern-day way to make people correct what they believe to be nature's mistake. Don't go for this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you have certain medical conditions or are taking specific medications it's a good idea to consult your doctor beforehand. Not recommended for people with oral cold sores, lupus, blood clotting disorders or other illnesses such as diabetes.
