Lip Augmentation in Stockholm Sweden
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.

- The FDA has issued a Public Health Advisory alerting health care providers, patients, and caregivers to new safety warnings concerning varenicline (Chantix™). Pfizer, at the request of the FDA, has updated the US prescribing information to warn of the possibility of severe changes in mood and behaviour in patients taking varenicline. The FDA has been evaluating post-marketing reports relating to changes in behaviour, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal ideation, and actual suicidal behaviour, and has stated that an association between varenicline and severe neuropsychiatric symptoms is increasingly likely.
In the Public Health Advisory and a Health Care Professional Sheet (see links above), the FDA emphasizes the following safety information:
• Patients should tell their health care provider about any history of psychiatric illness prior to starting varenicline
• Health care professionals, patients, patients' families, and caregivers should be alert to and monitor for changes in mood and behaviour in patients treated with varenicline
• Patients should immediately report changes in mood and behaviour to their doctor.
• Vivid, unusual, or strange dreams may occur while taking varenicline.
• Patients taking varenicline may experience impairment of the ability to drive or operate heavy machinery.
