Lip Augmentation In Mumbai, India
Younger individuals usually have soft, luscious, alluring lips that are often naturally S-shaped with a central Cupid’s bow and a sharp vermillion border (i.e. the junction between lips and skin). However, as they age, their lips gradually become thin, less voluptuous, there is a loss of curvature and development of vertical wrinkles which is why the face looks much older.
Mostly, thin lips appear in association with other facial changes such as deepening of nasolabial folds. Moreover, when there is a loss of volume in surrounding soft facial tissues, the lips may become downturned. Not only aging, other factors like hormonal fluctuations, sun exposure, dehydration, bad daily habits (including smoking), stress, and allergies can result in thin and less attractive lips.
Lip augmentation is a highly-customizable cosmetic procedure performed at Designer Bodyz to enlarge or reshape the otherwise thin lips and also restore their volume to make them appear harmonious and in balance with the other facial features. It helps regain the youthful fullness of the lips and provides an overall aesthetic appeal to the face desired by both male & female candidates.

The planning of the lip enhancement treatment in Mumbai at Designer Bodyz is done keeping in mind the patient’s facial profile, their concerns to be addressed, and their realistic goals to meet the desired natural results. Therefore, introductory consultation with the doctor is necessary to decide upon the best suitable treatment option which can be one of the following:
- Lip Fillers or Non-surgical Lip Augmentation
This usually involves the use of a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid which is naturally present in the body (especially in the skin). Hyaluronic acid is a dermal (soft tissue) filler that has the ability to strongly attract water and retain moisture, hence making the lips plumper with natural hydration. The filler ingredient is injected into the lips using an ultra-thin needle into specific points along the lip outline. It can be personalized depending upon the level of fullness desired by the candidate. Its effect usually lasts for a few months and the results can be reversed using a hyaluronidase enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid.
This method does not involve making incisions or using sutures. However, the patients may choose to get their lips numbed with a topical anesthetic before the fillers are administered to avoid needle pain.
The lip fillers can even be semi-permanent like Sculptra, Radiesse, Bellafill, and Aquamid which help by encouraging natural collagen production. The permanent lip fillers containing poly methyl methacrylate microspheres, hydrogel polymers, or silicone are usually not advised because of the complications associated with them.
- Lip Implants or Surgical Lip Augmentation
The surgical approach to augment the lips is performed using Permalip silicone implants. They are inserted and positioned underneath the lip tissue by making two small incisions. It is done under anesthesia and involves the use of sutures. In some cases, SMAS implants can be used wherein the natural collagen, fat, and fibrous tissue of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system are removed, shaped, and placed in the lips to restore their volume.
- Lip Augmentation With Fat Transfer
In this method, the cosmetic surgeon first harvests fat tissues from the patient’s fat rich body part such as abdomen, buttocks, or inner thighs and then after purifying this fat it is injected into the lips.
- Lip Augmentation With Autologen
This involves the use of autologous collagen lip injections. It is the safest and most-natural looking filler substance.

Frequently Asked Question
When can I go out in public after lip augmentation?
One can go back to work the next day without any problem. However, it takes a day or two for the swelling to go down. So, if one is very concerned and does not want to be obvious, they must plan 2-3 days out of the public eye. In case of fat injections and implants the recovery time can be highly variable from person to person but it is usually longer than lip fillers.
How much social downtime is required?
After fillers the swelling and redness lasts for a few hours following the procedure, and in case fat injections and implants are inserted there is a downtime of 2-3 weeks.
What side effects can be expected after the dermal fillers treatment?
With most of the injectables, common side effects are pain, tenderness, redness, swelling, and bruising. These are normal side effects and the majority of these resolve without treatment, within a few days.
