With all the technology available today, people have access and options to more augmentation surgery than ever before. While each and every person is unique and perfect in their own way, there is nothing wrong with making yourself feel better. And, if it is augmentation surgery that makes you more confident and feel better about yourself, by all means, go to town! All that aside, one of the most popular and researched procedures today is lip augmentation. There are a lot of benefits that one can take advantage of with a procedure like this, and it can greatly improve your appearance. However, that doesn’t mean it right for you. How do you know if it is or not?
What Doctors Can Perform The Procedure
The first thing that you need to know about lip augmentation is, it is a non-invasive procedure that can pretty much be performed right in the doctor’s office. Heck, you could leave from work on your lunch break, go to the doctor’s office, get the procedure, and return right back to work afterward. This is just how non-invasive the procedure is and one of the reasons that it is growing in popularity. Don’t let this fool you though because the results are immense and immediate. That aside, given the popularity and easy nature of the procedure, more and more doctors are trying to get in on the action. It is now more important for interested patients to know which doctors are and are not certified to perform this kind of procedure. These would be plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and cosmetic facial surgeons.
The most important thing is to always make sure the individual you choose for the job is certified and experienced. While a virtually non-invasive procedure, it is entirely possible that you could end up with a botch job.
What Might Knock You Out
Unfortunately, lip injections, although amazing with great benefits, are just not for everyone. This is a type of procedure that injects what are known as fillers into the lips to make them plumper and fuller. In order to undergo the procedure, you should obviously be in good health and a non-smoker. However, there are other potential factors that can knock you out of running. Amongst some of these would be that you have diabetes, you have lupus, you have blood-clotting problems, and you have an active infection on the lips or oral herpes. Even if you’ve had a cold sore or similar problems in the past month before the surgery, you should discuss this with your conducting surgeon.
Don’t omit to mention this because you are afraid that it will disqualify you because you could end up doing irreparable harm.
Know You Have A Say
When it comes to lip augmentation, you should know that as a patient, you have plenty of input as to the desired results. Not only do you have input into the doctor, but you have input into the overall looks. Bring your desired picture with you to your consultation, and your doctor will discuss your options with you along with your potential results. Although the procedure might not turn out identical, it should be fairly close to what you are wanting.
