Lip augmentation makes your lips fuller and in doing so reduces the wrinkles you have surrounding your mouth. There are several options available for lip augmentation. There are lip injections such as collagen or you can even have fat injected that has come from another area on your body. Although both of these, along with all other lip injection solutions, will eventually need to be done again when they get absorbed into the body. There are a couple of newer more permanent options on the market today through material that can be implanted such as AlloDerm.

AlloDem is a collagen sheet that is derived from natural materials from skin that has been donated. It is carefully placed through small slices at the corners of the mouth. Once it is put in its place it will become one with the natural tissue of the lips.

The other implantable products are:

Autlogen is a dermal implant material that is injected and made from your own skin. Demalogen is Human Tissue Matric of HTM that is injected after being donated by someone else. Fascia is an injectable that is derived from the thick white tissue that connects the body’s structures together. It can also be used as an implant. Hylaforn comes in a gel form that is clear and contains hylaruonic acid that is much like what is found naturally in the body. Radiance is calcium hydocylapatie which is also found in the body. Restylane is another clear gel that is injected and contains something close to what is found in the body, hyaluronic acid.

Lip rejuvenation is another form of lip augmentation that is done with a laser that makes the skin firmer and stimulates the production of collagen and elasin to make the skin more elastic. With this lip augmentation procedure you will be able to go right back to you normal activities if no sedation was used and only a one day delay if they were.

AlloDerm and Demalogen do not require that you donate tissue for the treatment but they will not be rejected by your body because they are still derived from human tissue and they have a very natural feel. A permanent option would be Gore-Tex implants that are inserted in the lips and acceptable by the body easily. With all procedures there is a risk of allergic reaction that can last for a few days or even months. There should be some testing done before the procedure to make sure you are not allergic to ingredients or implants.
