Lips are peculiar anatomical structures: they may convey gracefulness and elegance or roughness and old age. Beautiful lips are a sign of youth and attractiveness. To that end, several aesthetic procedures have been designed to enhance lip contour and volume.
Soft tissue fillers are the most popular medical devices utilized for lip rejuvenation. When applied correctly, the results can be quite remarkable. Injectable cosmetic fillers can be used safely to plump up thin lips, rendering them lush and attractive.
So, why do so many people refuse to try dermal fillers as a means to achieve great lips? The reasons are manifold: fear of pain from the injection, high risk of complications and unpredictable or unnatural results. The truth of the matter is that lip volumization can be safe, painless, and very effective, if the injector is qualified and knows how to select the right product.
Abraham Gomez, M.D. is a fellow of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (www.asoprs.org). In today’s webinar he will address several questions concerning the safety and efficacy of injectable cosmetic fillers for lip volumization. Several topics will be discussed, such as how to choose the right filler, how to achieve a painless injection and, most importantly, how to obtain natural, attractive lips.
