In many cultures, large, voluptuous lips are a mark of sensuality and youth.... thus men and women of all ages seek lip augmentation surgery utilizing permanent or temporary 'fillers'. Many people choose to have only one lip augmented, depending on their individual needs and the look they desire. Pass your mouse over the photo to your right to see the changes.

Other types of lip enlarging surgeries include the lip 'suspension'... lip 'lift' and lip 'advance' surgeries. The idea of these surgeries is to remove skin from various areas to pull the lip 'up' and expose more vermillion. These surgeries can leave unslightly scars and will leave the lip with less of the natural 'swell' of the lip, flattening them from the side view.

Reducing Lips

Some people feel their lips are too large... reducing the size of one's lips another option. This can usually be done with no noticable scars but taking tissue from behind the lip inside the mouth. When one's lips are too large, a lip reduction can bring harmony to their face.
