Lip Augmentation: The process of adding volume to the lips. This can be achieved with injectable fillers like hyaluronic acid (HA) or fat grafting. Fillers offer temporary to semi-permanent results, while fat grafting provides longer-lasting fullness.

Pros: Enhances lip volume and definition, creates a more youthful appearance, various filler types allow for customization.

Cons: Temporary results with fillers (need for repeat injections), potential for bruising and swelling, risk of unevenness or migration of fillers.

Alternatives: Surgical lip implants (permanent but carry higher risks), lip lift for those with a long philtrum.

Recovery Time: 1-3 days for minor swelling and bruising after fillers, longer for fat grafting (up to 2 weeks).

Disclaimer: As with any injectable procedure, consult a qualified healthcare professional to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
