Cosmetic Surgery and the Lips

By James P Wilkinson

I'm sure at one point or other most of us have wondered what we would change about our appearance and in particular our faces. Some wish for a fresher more youthful look and others may want to rid themselves of under eye bags, but top of the list it seems is lip enhancement.

There have been a plethora of pictures in the tabloids of stars such as Angelina Jolie whose voluptuous lips win them many fans, but also there can be many pictures which are a testament to this kind of procedure going wrong. This is usually as a result of a reaction to the dermal filler being used and can also be a result of using inexperienced nurses/surgeons who may not carry out the procedure correctly. Take the case of Leslie Ash who suffered very publicly and was branded the woman with the trout pout after letting an inexperienced nurse inject the area above her lip with permanent dermal filler.

We all want bigger lips (unless you are one of the lucky few to be born with them) and in our quest to have that perfect look there is always the chance we may go too far. Thankfully it is now becoming more "trendy" to have the cupids bow style lips of celebrities like Gemma Atherton.

To get this kind of look much less filler is required and not so much in the top lip which has been the problem with lip enhancement procedures of the past. The result is a more sculptured and less plumped look.

Dermal fillers have become the 2nd most popular non surgical procedure after Botox and account for 40% of this market. Non surgical treatments are an ideal way of "trying out" a look before you opt for a more permanent solution and this may be quite a prudent move when it comes to making changes to your face.


You should always use a BAPRAS or BAAPS accredited surgeon to ensure your cosmetic surgery procedure runs smoothly. This is especially prudent with plastic surgery procedures such as nose surgery and facelifts.
