Lip enhancement can substantially improve your facial look. Zyderm and Zyplast injectable collagen are used to enhance the natural silhouette of the upper border of the upper lip and Cupid's Bow. Autologen, Fascian and Dermalogen can be used in the same way that Zyderm and Zyplast collagen are used. Autologen is made from your own skin. Dermalogen and Fascian are injectable forms of human collagen made from donated skin and recovered by an accredited tissue bank.

Fat Transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation or micro-liposuction, plumps up your lips using fat taken from inconspicuous sites on your body. Fat transfer to the lips is a safe, natural, non-allergenic procedure designed to restore damaged or diminished dermal deficiencies.

Lip augmentation procedures increase the size of the lips to make them fuller and more attractive. The procedure is used to help women and men of all ages. The upper or lower lip may be treated singly, or both upper and lower lips may augmented at the same time.

Lip augmentations have become increasingly popular in recent years. Some types of lip augmentation involve the insertion of natural or synthetic materials.

It is a type of cosmetic surgery, that aims to improve the appearance of the lips by increasing the fullness through enlargement. This particular operation is still considered in its infancy and the results are often not to the patient's liking.

Types of Fillers Used:

The most common way to increase lip size is with injectable fillers. The most common fillers are as:-

• Collagen: A protein found in our bodies, collagen provides support to various areas of the body, including the lips. Collagen is the simplest way to increase the lip size, but there are serious drawbacks. There is a limit to the amount of enlargement, the injections are painful, the result is temporary.

• Fat: Fat from one's own body is another form of filler used to plump the lips. Because the fat comes from the patient's body, there is no risk of any allergic reaction occurring.

• Restylane: This product is a non-animal, biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic acid, another substance found in our own bodies.
