Lips can be made more prominent and fuller or thinner as the need may be. Lip augmentation creates fuller and plumper lips. For augmentation, a natural or synthetic biocompatible material or the patient’s own fat is injected or implanted in the lips.

Several filler Injections may be repeated periodically.

Alloderm,Gore-Tex, SoftForm and soft ePTFE are some of the synthetic implants used for lip augmentation.

Lip reduction is done for very bulky or overhanging lips.
