Main Information
<p>During your first discussion with a practitioner, you should explain what you expect from the treatment and how you would like to look afterwards. He or she should tell you exactly what the treatment will involve, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this and other treatments to enhance the lips, as well as tell you how long it will take for you to recover from it.</p> <p>You will need to be provided with information on and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of implant material available. If you choose a synthetic implant you would normally require a skin test before surgery to make sure that you are not allergic to the material.</p> <p>A medical history should be taken by the practitioner to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t have lip implants. Once this is established, you would normally be asked to sign a consent form which means that you have understood the potential benefits and risks associated with a lip implant.</p> <p>Photographs may also be taken by the practitioner for use as a “before and after” comparison at a later date.</p> <p><strong>Anaesthesia </strong></p> <p>Local anaesthetic injections into the lip are all that is usually required to numb the area enough so that you feel no pain during the procedure. You may also be given a mild sedative to make you feel drowsy.</p> <p><strong>The procedure </strong></p> <p>The surgery is not at all complex nor does it take a substantial amount of time to perform – usually only around 30 minutes depending on the type of implant used.</p> <p>The surgeon, after making the necessary 4 tiny cuts at each corner of the mouth, "threads" the strip of implant material through each lip and cuts the implant to the size of the patient’s lips. The incision areas are then stitched with a thin, either dissolving or non-dissolving, thread material. </p> <p><strong>Repeat procedure </strong></p> <p>No repeat procedure is required for synthetic implants as their effect is permanent, but if you choose to use a non-permanent implant material, you will need to return occasionally to have another implant inserted.</p>
