Lip implants

Lip implants involve surgery to boost the fullness of a patient's lips to make them appear larger or more shapely.

Although it is still a relatively uncommon procedure, it is becoming popular especially among women who are unhappy that their lips appear too thin or shapeless.

It is a relatively simple operation, but can lead to problems and you may feel dissatisfied that your surgery has not provided the results you required.

Below is a list of typical problems associated with lip implant operations:

• Infection
• Mis-shapen lips due to movement of the implant
• Excessive scarring or blistering
• Excessive swelling or 'trout pout'
