What Is
lip augmentation/lip enhancement surgery?

Lip Enhancement or Lip Augmentation is a cosmetic procedure which can be performed only by a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon that results in the patient gaining plump and fuller lips. 

This cosmetic procedure is widely popular all across the globe. It is a minimally-invasive procedure that makes the patient look good and feel good about themselves in no time. 

What are
the different types of lip enhancement procedures performed at vanity cosmetic clinic?

Vanity Cosmetic Clinic in Mumbai offers different options for Lip Enhancement procedures. 

The different types of Lip Augmentation procedures are: 

Injectables

One of the most popular types of Lip Enhancements is the injectables procedure. Under this procedure, Dr Santosh Bhatia augments the lips using Fillers or Fat Grafting.  

  1. Fillers: Dermal Fillers are synthetic bio-compatible materials that imitate bodily fat in your lips. Hyaluronic acid, Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, and Perlane are some of the most commonly injected fillers for fuller lips. 
  2. Fat Grafting: This involves extracting fat from the body using liposuction and injecting it into the patients’ lips. This makes the lips plumper and looks 100% natural. 

Surgical Lip Enhancements

Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Director of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic specialises in contouring lips to look bigger, curvier and plumper all while ensuring the final result looks natural and proportionate to the rest of the face. 

Following are the types of Lip Enhancement Surgeries at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic: 

  1. Dermal Grafting: Dermal grafting is a technique where the surgeon removes dermis from the underside of the skin along with the fat and places it inside the lips through an incision. Dermal grafting moves the lips forward and makes them look plumper too. 
  2. Vermillion Advancement: In this procedure, Dr Santosh Bhatia removes a strip of skin from around the lips increasing the surface area of the lips. Then the vermillion skip is pulled outward and reshaped. This procedure increases the area of the lips and makes them look bigger and aesthetically beautiful. 
  3. Lip Lift: This is a simple anti-ageing cosmetic procedure that eliminates the problem of droopy lips. 

All of the above-mentioned Lip Enhancement Procedures are performed by Dr Santosh Bhatia, a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic. Our patients have seen stunning results and live their lives with big, happy smiles!

What to expect before the
lip enhancement procedure?

Since Lip Augmentation is a minimally invasive procedure there aren’t too many preparations necessary before the surgery from the patient’s perspective. Dr Santosh Bhatia may ask you to undergo a couple of routine blood and urine tests in order to establish basic parameters for the surgery. 

But other than that, no special preparation is required from the patient’s side.

How Is

The process for lip augmentation will depend upon the type of augmentation chosen for the patient. 
Following are the details for each type of procedure:

Dr Santosh Bhatia performs all of the above-mentioned procedures with panache and bearing in mind the importance of patient’s safety at all times. 

How Is
the recovery process for lip enhancement procedures?

Step 1

Lip enhancement or lip augmentation procedures are minimally invasive procedures. Hence, their recovery process is simpler and almost pain-free.

Step 2

In case of filler based lip enhancement, there is zero downtime. The patient can immediately resume work and other activities. 

Step 3

Similarly, for fat grafting lip enhancement, a couple of days is sufficient time to recover and get back in action. 

Step 4

For other lip augmentation surgeries, i.e Dermal Grafting, Vermillion Advancement and Lip Lift - 1 week of recovery is more than enough. The patient can resume their normal routine within a couple of days, but physically strenuous activities need to be avoided for the first week. 

Step 5

After you undergo any type of lip augmentation, you will notice swelling and bruising around the lips. Dr Santosh Bhatia will prescribe a topical antibiotic and may also give you some oral medication. Regular use of ice packs will help in reducing the swelling. Generally, the swelling subsides within a week’s time. 

What are
the risks associated with lip enhancement procedures?

Even though Lip Enhancement is a straightforward cosmetic procedure, it does have risks. It is vital that as a patient you are aware of the risks before you make the choice to undergo the knife. 

Following are the rare risks that may arise out of Lip Augmentation procedures:

Chances of patients actually suffering from these risks are very low because Dr Santosh Bhatia puts patient safety as a top priority on his action plan.
