Lip augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Last year, approximately 264,000 people underwent lip-plumping surgery. With fuller lips one can create a more youthful, vibrant look. This is primarily achieved through injections and grafting.

Injections: using small needles, the lip is filled with a soft substance to create a fuller appearance. The most widely used substance is collagen, which is found in cow skin. Although purified, collagen can cause allergic reactions in some patients.

A sensitivity test should always be performed prior to the actual procedure. Because the body slowly absorbs the collagen, results usually only last one to three months although the procedure can be repeated as many times as desired.

Fat harvested from other areas of the body - usually the abdomen or thighs - can also be injected into the lips. One great advantage to this procedure is that there is no possibility of an allergic reaction, although as with collagen the results are temporary.

Other injectable lip plumpers include Artecoll, a synthetic material which augments the natural tissue to create long lasting results, Autologen (collagen from the patient's own skin), which also has relative longevity and Dermalogen, which is extracted from the skin of a human donor then screened and processed to prevent the risk of disease.

The effects of the latter are relatively short term and similar to the effects of collagen.

Grafting: under local anaesthesia, material is inserted through incisions made in the inside corners of the mouth. The incisions are then closed with stitches.

Alloderm is a popular human donor material, which is strictly processed to prevent infection. The material is often absorbed, so results are temporary lasting between 6 and 12 months.

A more effective material is Softform, which does not shrink and is never absorbed into the body. Scar tissue forms at each end, keeping it in place. This also makes it easy to remove if it becomes infected.

Fat grafting produces lasting results in about 50% of those who try it. Though it can be reabsorbed by the body in time, this is popular as people are comfortable with the idea of using fat from their own bodies in order to enhance their own lips.

Most lip enhancements take between 30 minutes and two hours to perform. If the patient has no medical problems the procedure is usually on an outpatient basis, allowing them to return home a few hours after surgery.

Topical anaesthesia is generally used before injections so the procedure involves no discomfort. Most people are able to return to their normal routine within two days. Grafts usually involve more pain and a longer recovery period. Local anaesthesia is used in grafting.

Local anaesthesia makes the procedure painless but may lead to discomfort later. Recovery time may take one to two weeks and the patient may experience some problems with drooling. Grafting can also leave lips feeling unusually stiff for up to two to three months.

As with any surgical procedure, there is always a possibility of infection or reaction to anaesthesia.

There are non-surgical options for lip augmentation. One such method can be performed by your dentist. The premise is simple. The structure underneath is enlarged in order to change the appearance of the surface. Teeth support the lips so enlarging the teeth gives the lips a fuller appearance.

Dental lip enhancements are performed in one of two ways; either by changing the shape of one's arch of teeth (or bite) through orthodontics or changing the shape of the front teeth through restorative treatments such as laminate veneers or porcelain crowns. The former treatment is nearly permanent; the latter can last between 5 and 12 years.

Now that you are armed with information relating to cosmetic lip plumping procedures why not learn about some more natural methods that can give you sexier, fuller lips without the potential risks.

The Power of Articlesaur Article Directory

The power of Articlesaur is its ability to gain exposure and promote its writers. At present, we have Forty-One general subjects covering a very wide range of subjects. This means that, as a writer, you are assured of finding a home for your articles. As a publisher, it means that you will find the material you are looking for.

The key to the process begins with quality writers and the volume and quality of article submissions that come in each day. This means that there is always fresh and original content to meet the needs of any publisher. This will in turn mean more publishers coming to Articlesaur.com to find their material and in turn greater exposure for the writers.

This is a win-win situation for both the publishers and the writers. For the writers, you will find that there is no cost to you to set up an account or to submit your articles. After creating an account, you will find that with each article you submit, your website will gain exposure and additional links to it. This will help you rank higher on any of the search engines.

You will also find that, since your name is attached to the article when it is published, you will become known as an expert in the subject you write on. This will translate into more business for your website and it will increase the amount of money you are able to make. When people see your name over and over they begin to look at you as an expert and someone they can trust. People will buy products and services more often from people they trust.

The power of this article directory is in what it can do for the writer in its ability to target your audience. This is because of the simple fact that the publishers that are looking at your articles are interested in what you have to say. They, in turn, provide an audience for your articles on their websites and newsletters and the people that read them are also people that are specifically looking for what you have to offer. This is something that you cannot get through any other medium.

With ads, you are never sure who is looking at them and how many simply go past them because they were not interested in what you are selling. If you write an article on a particular kind of dog and submit your article to Articlesaur.com it will be published by people interested in that type of dog. Then your article will be read by people that are interested in that type of dog. They will go to your website and look at your product or service and spend their hard-earned money with you.
