Lip augmentation

Andrew P. Trussler, MD answers: Lip augmentation risks and side effects?

Before I go for it, I want to know what can go wrong with lip augmentation.  What are all of the possible side effects of lip augmentation, and what's the method for lip augmentation with fewest risks?

Fillers in the lips can cause prolonged swelling, asymetries and possible lumps. I would start with a small volume of a hyaluronic acid based filler, see how you like it and then add more in 2 to 4 weeks when the main swelling resolves. In general it is very safe and patient satisfaction is high!
