Lip Augmentation in Bangkok, Thailand

Lip augmentation has become one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments. There are a few different ways to perform lip augmentation – the experienced surgeons at our Bangkok clinic can help choose the most suitable option for you.

The shape and fullness of our lips do not always correspond to our wishes or self-image. Changes brought on by aging (such as thinning of the lips or deep lines on the lips and cheeks) can also be reasons for wanting to restore or alter the shape of the lips.

Lip augmentation (also known as lip injections or lip fillers) is a cosmetic procedure that aims to enhance and improve the appearance of the lips by using injectable fillers.

Lip injections have become increasingly popular due to their well-known anti-aging benefits. Fillers can help prevent a downturn of the mouth due to the loss of skin texture, which often occurs as a result of natural aging and can be made worse by the long-term effects of smoking, for example.

Lip Augmentation Before & After

Lip Augmentation Surgery Surgery

1. Fat injection

This method involves injecting the patient’s own body fat into the lips to increase their volume. Tissue can be harvested from areas where there are unwanted fat deposits, typically the thighs, stomach or abdomen. Lip augmentation via fat injection is an outpatient procedure, and since the procedure uses your own body tissue, there is a very low risk of any adverse reactions. The liposuction to extract the fat is normally done under local anesthesia. Although about 60% of the fat will be reabsorbed by the body, usually what remains after six weeks will be permanent. If you’re happy with the results, there shouldn’t be a need to have another fat graft. However, you may choose to repeat the process after 6 months if you wish.

2. Synthetic Fillers

Alternatively, lip augmentation can be performed using dermal fillers. At our clinic in Bangkok we only use the highest quality hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm and Neuramis.

Hyaluronic acid injections help restore the elasticity of the lips as well as changing their thickness and shape. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide naturally found in our bodies. Therefore, the body does not reject it and it is not known to cause allergic reactions. Hyaluronic acid is naturally removed from the body without any after-effects, and the lips will gradually return to their original state.

One advantage of using temporary fillers is that you can see the results before deciding to move on to a more permanent solution. The injections can be administered under local anesthesia and the process does not leave any physical marks or scars. The treatment can be repeated every 6-12 month for long-lasting results.
