Lip plastice surgery is a fast and permanent way of enhanceing ones lips. It also helps one in reducing wrinkles and fime lines around ones lips. The surgery takes two hours and the patient can go home the same day. Some of the proceedures used in the surgery are discussed below.

Here are the options:

•  Alloderm is a sheet of collagen created from deceased humans. Your surgeon inserts them through tiny incisions made on the inside part of the lip. This material offers only a temporary fix, lasting up to 12 months.
• Fat grafting is the surgical method of inserting your own fat into your lips to achieve the desired fullness. You may achiever permanent results, but this method varies from person to person. Because it's your own fat, there is a chance that your body can reabsorb it.
• Gore-Tex, SoftForm and soft ePTFE are synthetic materials that can achieve a permanent result. Unlike some of the other options we've listed above, your body will not absorb these. However, because they are synthetic, there is a risk of allergic reaction.
• Local flap grafts is a surgical procedure that takes tissue and skin from the inside flap of your mouth. It's far more invasive than any other technique, and is often the last resort among plastic surgeons.
  
  Your surgeon may also be able to make an incision along the upper line of your lip.
