Lips are structures that affect the entire appearance of the face, along with the nose. For this reason, lively, bright and full lips have been accepted as an indicator of beauty, attractiveness and youth over the years. While thick and full lips are a sign of youth, thinned and wrinkled lips can be a sign of old age. Regardless of age, some people’s lips may be thinner and smaller, while others may have extremely wide and large lips. If the presence of either of these conditions bothers the person, people can get rid of this problem with small interventions.

Lip augmentation procedures for lip augmentation and thickening can be grouped into two main groups. These are divided into temporary and permanent solutions. Temporary ones are usually hyaluronic acid-containing filling materials.

Their permanence varies between 6-12 months. Permanent ones, on the other hand, can be divided into two as those from the person’s own tissues and those that are synthetic. Lip augmentation can be done with tissues that are easily found in the body, which we call fat, fascia and dermis. Lip augmentation and thickening can also be done with silicone lip prostheses, which have the same properties as the silicone used in breast prosthesis and are specially made for the lips.

In lip aesthetics, large lips reduction surgeries can also be performed. In these surgeries performed under local anesthesia, excess mucous and muscle tissue is removed.
