About Silicon Lip Injections

For more than fifty years, liquid injectable silicone has been used for soft-tissue augmentation, with many professional plastic surgeons of today noting its excellent results.

Besides achieving beautiful lips, the benefits of silicone lip injections also include an inert chemical structure, long-lasting results, and a low cost.

With silicone injections, it’s very important to have it administered in its correct dosage by a well-trained medical professional with plenty of experience. It’s also crucial to only receive medical-grade silicone as opposed to industrial grade products.

Benefits of Silicone Lip Injections

As most people age, their lips lose fullness and definition. Aging erases the lips’ natural curves and leaves them appearing flat, thin, and less defined than they used to be. Adding to natural age, the lips can also become less appealing due to cigarette smoking and sun exposure. This can cause them to become drier and to lose elasticity.

However, with lip augmentation from silicone lip injections, the lips can become much more defined and symmetrical. This treatment can even help the lips cover the gums if someone dislikes their “gummy” smile.

An experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Thomas Funcik will look at your lips and make the decision if silicone is the best choice for you. A well-done lip treatment will look natural, and will not overpower your other features. The idea is to improve the way you already look, not overdo your mouth area.

Treatment and Recovery

Silicone lip injections are non-surgical, and sessions typically take less than 20 minutes. Once Dr. Funcik completes your injections, you can expect some numbness, swelling, and bruising.

To reduce the swelling and achieve a quicker recovery, keep your head above your heart when resting and sleeping. Some patients prefer to sleep in a recliner for a couple of nights following the procedure.

In order to heal properly, it’s wise to avoid major activities for about two weeks.
