Many of us dream of fuller lips and a mouth that looks more kissable. Lip augmentation is a popular treatment for those who want to improve the shape and volume of the lips and get results that last really long. Lip augmentation can be done in several different ways and it is not always easy to know what is right for you. How do fillers work and what is the difference between fillers and other methods such as fat grafting? Here we go through the differences, benefits and costs of the different options.
Fillers – The most popular method for lip augmentation
The most common method for lip augmentation is fillers. Fillers are a quick and non-surgical solution that provides immediate results and does not require a long recovery time. In addition, fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that is naturally found in the body. The treatment involves injecting a small amount of filler into the lips to create volume and fullness. The filling can be adjusted to suit your wishes and you choose whether you want a discreet change or more dramatic results.
The price for lip augmentation with fillers varies depending on the amount of filler needed. At Estetikcentrum you can expect to pay from around 2795 SEK and up depending on the size of the treatment area and the amount of filler needed to achieve the result you want. Pst! You know you get pain relief if you need it!
Lip augmentation with your own fat provides permanent results
If you are looking for a more long-lasting result than fillers can offer, lip augmentation with your own fat may be more suitable for you. This method involves taking fat from an area of your body. This could be your stomach or inner thighs, for example, and then injecting it into your lips. Because the method uses your body's own fat cells, the results are more permanent than fillers. You also don't have to worry about having to repeat the treatment.
The price for enlarge lips with your own fat is higher than for fillers with prices starting at around SEK 29,900 for the entire treatment. It is also a more extensive procedure requiring around 4-6 hours in the clinic. However, for those looking for long-lasting results, this is a fantastic solution.
