The cosmetic lip surgery is a surgical specialty that aims at improving the appearance of the lips by increasing the fullness through enlargement. The full lips with an accentuated border have been associated with the beauty and hence, are desired virtually by all. The lip enhancement surgery can also reduce the wrinkles above the top lip.

Types of Cosmetic Lip Surgery

Lip Augmentation :

Lip Augmentation is the surgical procedure done for enhancing the lips by giving them a fuller appearance. The look of the lips is enhanced by filling the lips with synthetic substances providing them fuller and attractive look. Some of the widely used lip augmentation substances include:

• Autologen: it is made from patient's skin and is an injectable dermal material.
• Collagen : it is extracted from bovine hides and lasts for three to four weeks.
• Dermalogen :  it is taken from patient's skin and is converted into a high concentration collagen and is injected into the lips.
• Alloderm : it is a donor tissue taken from cadavers which is first purified and then is placed into the patient's lips. It can also be placed into the vermillion or the pink area of the lip for providing definition and a sharper border to the lips.
• Radiance : it is a synthetic gel produced in the laboratory which is injected into the lip and lasts for more than three years.
• Restylane : it is a non- animal clear gel that is also used for lip enhancement and usually sustains for six months.

Liposuction :

It is another method for providing reformed and attractive lips to the patient. The procedure involves excision of fat from some places of patient's body where it can be spared and placing it into the lips. The procedure can be done by both injecting the fat or by surgically placing it into the lips it is usually done under general anesthesia.

Cleft Lip Surgery :

A cleft lip is a hole in the lip caused due to disturbance in lip growth and is a birth defect. The reconstructive surgery is the cure to the cleft lips which usually begins in the first few months of an infant's life. The surgery for repairing the cleft usually is performed during the first 12 to 18 months of the child's birth. The reconstructive surgery is done through first making incisions. The surgeon creates incision on each side of the cleft from the lip to the nostril and then sutured together.
