Lip augmentation
You can use Restylane for lip augmentation , however the results are not permanent.
Fat transfer to the lips, done correctly is permanent and when done right is Not Lumpy.
Silicone injection is NOT legal and not condoned as a filler, It can cause SILICONE GRANULOMAS. The silicone was used extensively in the past, we should learn from the past experisnces with the terrible granulomas we saw later.
FAT IS SUPERIOR IN THE PROPER HANDS OF A BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON.

Permanent lip augmentation methods
We have a large series of lip augmentation patients who have had fascial-fat grafts from their own bodies (autologous nontraumatized fascial fat grafts). This method has proven very reliable at achieving soft, full results. We have found it to be much more reliable than fat injections, probably because the grafts do not need to be aspirated and then injected the way fat injections do. The grafts cannot be rejected because they come from the patient's own tissues.
I would strongly caution...

Permanent solution to lip enhancement
Over the last 15 years the only permanent solution to lip enlargement that is natural looking and safe are dermal-fat graft from the suprapubic area. Fat alone is lumpy and dissappears quickly . Artifical implants are a disaster. Some fillers are nice but temporary. You can view this at aventuraplasticsurgery.com

Permanent Lip Augmentation
Hi there-
I would wholeheartedly agree with Dr. Moelleken- permanent lip augmentation by injection of silicone is too prone to long term complications and irreversible deformity for me to recommend it to my patients- no matter what the technique is. It may give you a pleasing initial outcome, but with time the silicone will absolutely coalesce and run (with gravity), causing deformity which can be impossible to improve once it has occurred.
Using your own tissues, and especially with...

Fat grafting may last 6 months or longer but has problems
Fat grafting to the lips is not done much anymore by most physicians doing lip augmentations because the fat makes your lips look Donald Duck looking for 2 weeks and can resolve in 6 months and become uneven and bumpy for the $1500-2500 cost.
Lip implants have come a long way now and do great for permanent augmentation at 1500-2000 per lip and temporary fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm do nice for 3-9 months at 550 per syringe and usually require 1-2 syringes.

Options for best permanent lip augmentation.
In the face it is a good idea to start with something non permanent. The soft and hard tissue of the face will change with time. We usually start out with a hyaluronic acid based filler, (i.e.; juvederm, restylane). Best to see a few experienced injectors and see what they offer. The lips can look natural and still have the volume that you want. The hyaluronic acid usually is soft, smooth, and kissable.

Lip Augmentation with Fat grafting
Fat transfer is a good permanent option. Some surgeons also use silicon injections however make sure this is something you really want because "permanent" is permanent! You may regret the decision later. Also because it is permanent make sure you have a trained board certified surgeon perform this.

Lip Implants a Permanent Solution
Several methods exist to plump up your lips. Fillers work very well but, of course, are not permanent. Fat injections are a bit unpredictable but can be a long-lasting solution.
My favorite procedure for lip augmentation is to use permanent , soft implants (PermaLip by Surgisil). They can be placed under local anesthesia in just a few minutes are the cosmetic result is wonderful. If for some reason you are unhappy with the appearance, the implants can be removed, although I...

Permanent Lip Augmentation
Many of the posts have discussed the negative effects of silicone lip implants and I believe that most of them are referring to injectable silicone. This is not to be confused with the Permalip silicone implant. I have been using the Surgisil lip implant for about 4 years now and have seen great results. The Surgisil implant is soft and compressible, does not break down or become incorporated into the normal tissue, and I have not seen it negatively effect the normal lip tissue. It is not a...

Liquid Injectable Silicone For Lip Augmentation
Liquid injectable silicone (Silikon-1000) is an excellent filler for permanent lip augmentation as it is safe, effective and results in very natural-appearing lips. As it is permanent, it should be injected only by board-certified dermatologists and facial plastic surgeons experienced in using Silikon-1000.
