Lip Augmentation in Mississauga CA
Ever since the ancient times women used cosmetic to enhance the appearance of their lips. Lip augmentation is a procedure design for people wishing to enlarge and reshape their lips. It allows creating more sensual looking lips using various techniques available. This procedure can also help people with congenital lip defects. The ideal candidates for lip augmentation are men and women otherwise healthy who wishes to reshape the appearance of their lips. There are some conditions in which lip augmentation is contradicted; those include facial nerve disorders, recurrent herpes infection, diabetes, history of multiple allergies and autoimmune disorders.
This procedure can be performed using injectable fillers, implants and surgical manipulations. All techniques are performed using local anesthetics.
Injectable fillers - this technique uses several materials that are injected into your lips. The most common injectors include collagen and autologous fat. Other not commonly used in USA are hyaloronic acid preparations such as Restylane or Perlane and bioplastique. The advantage of autologous fat injection is that it provided long term and sometimes permanent results. The fat is harvested from the umbilical area and injected in small proportions to the lips.
Implants - can be synthetic for example polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Soft-Form) and biomaterials, for example dermis, fascia and donor dermis (AlloDerm). The implants come in various sizes and are implanted below the lip skin. Two small cuts are made in the corners of the mouth from the inside, then the implant is delivered inside using a special passer.
Surgical procedures - the surgeon performs various manipulations to create new look for your lips. The cuts are made from the inside of your mouth, involving only skin and mucous membranes. Flaps are created to either shorter the distance or to fill the desired space.
Every procedure has its complications, this one includes; allergic reactions to collagen, haematoma of the donor site, skin scaring, infections, asymmetry of the lips, impaired lip function and sensation changes.

- Abstract Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) (Sculptra®, Dermik Laboratories, Bridgewater, NJ, a business of sanofi-aventis US, LLC) is a novel biocompatible and biodegradable injectable
device currently under review by the Food and Drug Administration for a cosmetic indication. When implanted into soft tissues,
PLLA is thought to elicit a foreign body reaction, resulting in fibroplasia and subsequent collagen formation. This process
leads to a gradual thickening of the dermis and long-lasting augmentation of facial contours. In the reported case, PLLA was
used to treat a 69-year-old African-American woman who had undergone numerous unsuccessful procedures for correction of prominent
facial asymmetry. One vial of PLLA (5-ml dilution) was injected into the dermal-subcutaneous plane using a lattice distribution
in the right upper cheek and malar regions, followed by massage. The procedure was repeated 6 weeks later. Several months
after the two separate PLLA treatment sessions, the contours of the right upper cheek and malar regions were visibly and cumulatively
enhanced, and facial symmetry was gradually restored, to the patient’s full satisfaction. The treatment was well tolerated
on both occasions, and the benefits of treatment have been sustained 18 months after the last procedure. The author concludes
that injectable PLLA is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for facial contour defects.
