Expert Guidance on Lip Surgery in India

Posted by Dr. Debraj Shome on July 1st, 2016

More and more people are looking to get fuller and luscious lips. If you are looking to get your lips surgery done in India, consult with a qualified plastic surgeon. Lip augmentation can be done in two ways: via injection or via lip implant.

What’s the difference?

Dermal filler injections can temporarily enhance your lips. Some of the fillers used include Juvederm or Restylane. Collagen is also a popular filler and is made from animal connective tissues.

The trouble with fillers is that some people are allergic to the materials in them. They are also impermanent. Most synthetic lip fillers can only last for about a year. If you want a more long-lasting solution that is safer than synthetic fillers, you opt for a fat transplant. Fats will be harvested from your own body, from problem areas like your thighs or stomach. These fats will then be transferred to your lips. This procedure offers the benefit of being a non-allergic material, but it is unpredictable and might give your lips a lumpy look.

If you are seeing a more permanent solution, opt for lip implants in India. This invasive lip surgery requires the surgeon to make an incision on the sides of the mouth. The implant will then be inserted through these incisions, which will then be sutured. Implants are usually made from alloderm or Gore-tex. They look natural but may not feel natural.

Which one should you choose?

The choice really depends on your preferences and what the doctor might recommend for your case. Lip implants are permanent unless you have them removed. Meanwhile, lip filler injections eventually dissolve.

The recovery time for lip injections is much shorter at just one to two days, while for lip implants, recovery time will be one to two weeks. It’s very common to experience side effects post-surgery, such as temporary stiffness of the lips, bruising, swelling, and drooling. You can speed up your recovery by not chewing and talking too much. It also helps to use ice packs.

You should know that running, weight training, and other strenuous activities should be avoided after lip surgery in India. The use of antibiotics is highly recommended for patients who either had lip implants or lip filler injections to prevent possible infections.

Lip surgery might not be a major surgery, but it is still serious. Give it a lot of thought and consult with a surgeon to know what kind of procedure will be best for you.
