A member asked:

Can you tell me about plastic surgery: is lip augmentation difficult to do?

Lip augmentation: Lip augmentation with a filler such as Juvederm is a straight-forward procedure. It takes about 10-15 minutes to perform, and the results last about a year. I suggest seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in your area who can assist you.

It's pretty routine: Lip augmentation is pretty routine. Biologic fillers (like Juvederm and Restylane) come prepackaged in a syringe and are injected directly into the lips. It takes about 20-30 minutes. Lip implants require a tiny incision to be made into the corner of the lip, and the implant is then threaded into position. It takes about an hour.
