LIP ENHANCEMENT OR LIP AUGMENTATION – JUVEDERM LIP FILLERS SANTA BARBARA AND
RESTYLANE LIP INJECTIONS SANTA BARBARA

Lip Augmentation, or lip enhancement, is simple procedure that can turn your
thinning lips into plump and fuller lips. Nowadays, dermal fillers are commonly
used to enhance the lips. There are myriads of fillers that can be injected
around the mouth area and into your lips. However, most of the popular products
contain substances that are comparable to the properties of hyaluronic acid
(HA). It is a natural compound that is produced by our body. It can temporary
volumize our lips.  Are you interested fuller, plump, more natural looking lips?
There are a variety of injectable fillers available each designed for
Lip Enhancement which will yield a natural result.

SCHEDULE YOUR LIP INJECTION CONSULTATION OR CALL (805) 318-3280 TODAY!


THE BENEFITS OF LIP AUGMENTATION

The skin of the lip is essentially different from the skin found in other parts
of the body or face. The skin on the lips is thin, friable and does not have
sweat glands or hair. Therefore, regular hydration is necessary to keep the lips
smooth and in good condition. As people age, their lips begin to lose its
fullness and definition. Aging results in a thinner upper lip and a flatter
lower lip with less definition and blunt curves. Smoking and exposure to the sun
are some of the factors that can cause the lips to lose its natural wonderful
look. The lips typically become drier, chafed and less elastic. Aging also
causes the vermilion boundary to blur, flattens the philtrum and makes the
Cupid’s bow to project less.

Lip enhancement covers a wide range of procedures that bring about a restoration
of the natural curves of the lips or helps to accent an already existing curve. 
This aesthetic procedure also covers enhancement of the Cupid’s bow. Aside from
enhancing the symmetric of the lip, this procedure also caters to individuals
who may want a stronger definition, perhaps a more defined vermilion border.

The lip enhancement procedure can be of help to individuals whose gums become
visible when they smile or those with uneven lips.  This procedure can be
temporary or permanent depending on the procedure. For temporary lip
enhancement, patients would need repeated treatments.  This cosmetic procedure
tends to be carried out more on the upper lip than the lower lip. To determine
the best approach to employ, an experienced plastic surgeon will consider your
entire face, not only your lips. A good enhancement procedure will blend with
your natural look and not stand out, thus overpowering your face.


WHO ARE  GOOD CANDIDATES FOR LIP AUGMENTATION?

The patient that will undergo this aesthetic needs to be in excellent health. 
Lip enhancement may not be ideal for you in the event that you have blood
clotting condition, visible scarring on the lip area, lupus, diabetes or cold
sores.  Candidacy also depends on the type of lip augmentation procedure that
you are willing to receive. Before beginning the procedure, you should clearly
communicate with Dr. Sheffield about your medical conditions such as allergies
and current medications.

Note: People with cold sores, diabetes, scarring on lips, or any form of blood
clotting issues are not eligible for treatment. People with a history of cold
sores can still be treated but not those with an active one.

Tobacco smoking affects the duration of results and could compromise healing but
this wouldn’t stop most plastic surgeons from attending to such patients. For
people with autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, it is advisable
you let your surgeon know about it before he commences treatment. Also, any form
of allergy to medication should also be clearly stated out.




BEST LIP INJECTIONS SANTA BARBARA

Initially, aesthetic lip injections were ideal and attracted people of aged 65
and above, nowadays it caters to a wider clientele of individuals of different
ages and background.  Anyone can benefit from this procedure, the only criteria
are that they must be healthy. Whatever is your concern; be it thin or thinning
lips, asymmetrical mouth or lack of definition, as long as you are healthy, of
age and of sound mind you can benefit from lip augmentation.

For those considering this treatment, it is important you have proper knowledge
of the attendant risks and benefits of the available procedures.  Lip fillers
have the advantage of being temporal and less invasive. This way, the patient
can know how their lips will appear after treatment before they opt for a more
permanent procedure. Below are some of the other reasons why lip fillers are a
better choice;

 * It creates a faster result. In one or two weeks following the lip injections,
   the swelling or bruising will have disappeared allowing you to see how your
   lips will look for the next few months.
 * It is apt for people who are not sure of how much augmentation they want
 * It is the best alternative to surgery
 * It is minimally invasive, meaning that it requires little recovery time or
   aftercare
 * They are very affordable


INJECTABLE LIP FILLERS:

Cosmetic fillers like Juvederm are used as a temporary measure to fill thin or
wrinkled lips. Known also as soft tissue fillers, they are made of materials
that are either biocompatible or natural. Injectable fillers have been approved
by the FDA because the body typically absorbs them and the lips eventually go
back to baseline. These fillers for lips generally have a lifespan of about six
months. Before you undergo any cosmetic procedure that has to do with lip
fillers, ensure that the doctor is using FDA approved fillers. These injectables
are only available from licensed providers.


HYALURONIC ACID (HA) FILLERS:

These are the most used type of cosmetic fillers for lip enhancement in the
United State presently.  HA fillers are approved by the FDA and come in
prepackaged vials ready to inject. It is the approved option for lip
augmentation in adults of 21 years and above. According to a recent research by
ASPS, 80% of dermal fillers were made of Hyaluronic Acid.  Just like other
injectable fillers, Hyaluronic Acid fillers typically have a lifespan of between
six to twelve months. One vial is good enough for most people for lip
augmentation, two vials are often too much. In order to help numb pain and make
the patient more comfortable during the procedure, most HA fillers contain
lidocaine.

Techniques for injecting cosmetic fillers have improved tremendously over the
years, particularly with the introduction of cannulas as a new means of
injection. In the past needles were used, these were known to cause pain, tissue
damage, laceration, bruising and oftentimes required several punctures. The
introduction of blunt-end cannulas in lip augmentation has brought about
tremendous improvement. Some of the advantages include less bruising, less
downtime for patients etc.

Below are the key brands of facial fillers that have been approved by the FDA
for lip injections in the United States;

 * Juvederm Ultra XC: This helps to add content to thin lips and fill up smile
   lines
 * Juvederm Volbella XC: This helps to add volume as well as vertical lip lines
 * Restylane: It helps to enhance the lips and improve the appearance of smile
   lines
 * Restylane-L: It helps to take out nasolabial folds as well as restore the
   initial fullness of the lips
 * Restylane Silk: Helps to take care of the wrinkles around the mouth as well
   as enhance the appearance of the lips

These procedures produce almost instant results, and from experience, clients
tend to respond well to this treatment. Worst case scenario, clients may
experience temporary pain, swelling at the site of injection or redness.


HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE LIP ENHANCEMENT PROCEDURE?

In case you are a smoker, Dr. Sheffield may oblige you to quit smoking for a
predetermined span of time before the lip injection procedure. Make sure to
follow the instructions of Dr. Sheffield. During the procedure, try to choose
clothing that is comfortable and loose. Be careful in choosing the shirt that
you will wear during the day of the aesthetic procedure. Try to choose a
button-down shirt to avoid pulling it on your face. Dr. Sheffield may also ask
you to take ibuprofen, aspirin or painkiller before he conducts the injection
procedure.

You also need to make sure that you are prepared for the after-care. You should
establish a particular area in your house for your recovery. Try to choose soft
food like yogurt, oatmeal, pudding, and jello. Choose a food that will not
require you to do excessive chewing.


HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY?

When you are going get a lip enhancement procedure, it is essential that you
will have someone to assist you in driving after the procedure. In case you are
going for a surgical implant, the entire recovery may last up to 2 weeks. With
other lip injections Santa Barbara procedures, there is virtually no downtime,
and you can possibly return to work immediately.  Recovery is very simple, with
no downtime and minor side effects.

After the procedure, bruising and swelling may appear which could last almost
two weeks. For faster recovery and to reduce swelling, patients can follow these
tips;

 * Ensure that your head is always above your heart
 * Ensure you have flannel-covered ice packs that you can apply for the first
   24-48 hrs following the procedure
 * Try to always stay hydrated
 * Stay away from aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines,
   for example, Advil
 * Take enough time to rest and avoid activities such as vacation, wedding etc


WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LIP INJECTIONS?

There is the possibility of acquiring an allergic reaction depending on which
lip enhancement procedure you take. You may also experience a negative reaction
in response to the anesthesia. In case of an implant, there is a chance that it
may harden and affect the form of your lips, which will require a surgical
removal to correct the procedure. In the event that you develop fever, or you
can feel an extreme swelling on your lips, call your doctor immediately.

When you want to enhance your lips with lip fillers, you need to carefully
discuss it with Dr. Sheffield to determine the right procedure for you. This can
increase the chances of achieving desirable and fuller lips.

reduce your alcohol consumption, and don’t touch your lips. Follow the advice
given by your doctor for faster recovery.

your lips some time to heal before engaging in heavy exercise.
