Lip Reduction

Lip Enhancement or Lip Augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that can only be performed by a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon. It aims to deliver attractive, plump, and fuller lips.

For individuals with lips that are too small, flat, or sagging due to aging, Lip Augmentation is the ideal cosmetic solution. Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya’s lip augmentation procedure results in voluminous lips that enhance the patient’s facial features.

This widely popular cosmetic procedure is minimally invasive and provides a quick transformation, making patients look and feel better about themselves in no time.

Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya, the Board-certified Plastic, Cosmetic, and Hair Transplant Surgeon of Celebre Aesthetics, Surat, prioritizes the safety of candidates undergoing minimally invasive lip augmentation procedures. To qualify for this cosmetic enhancement, individuals must meet the following criteria:

1. An individual dissatisfied with the appearance of their lips, seeking enhancement.

2. Overall good health is a prerequisite.

3. Realistic expectations from the procedure are essential.

It’s crucial to emphasize that this procedure is gender-neutral, welcoming both male and female candidates. Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya ensures that only those meeting these specific criteria undergo the lip augmentation procedure to guarantee their safety and satisfaction.

From the patient’s perspective, Lip Augmentation is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires minimal preparation. Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya may request routine blood tests to establish essential surgical parameters. However, apart from these tests, there are no specific preparations necessary on the patient’s side.

Lip enhancement or lip augmentation procedures are known for their minimal invasiveness, resulting in a simpler and virtually pain-free recovery process.

For filler-based lip enhancement, there is no downtime, allowing patients to immediately resume work and other activities. Similarly, fat grafting lip enhancement typically requires just a few days for recovery and returning to normal routines.

Following any lip augmentation procedure, patients can expect to experience swelling and bruising around the lips. Dr. Siddharth Sakhiya will prescribe topical antibiotics and may provide oral medication as well. Consistent use of ice packs aids in reducing swelling. Typically, the swelling subsides within a week.

Even though Lip Enhancement is a straightforward cosmetic procedure, it does have risks. It is vital that as a patient you are aware of the risks, believes Dr Siddharth Sakhiya.

Following are the rare risks that may arise out of Lip Augmentation procedures:

• Severe and prolonged swelling or bruising lasting one week to 10 days

• Lip asymmetry ( parts of lips are different sizes)

• Lumps and irregularities in the lips

• Infection

• Development of hematoma or seroma.

• Injection into a blood vessel, causing tissue loss

• Ulceration, scarring, or stiffening of the lip

• Allergic reaction causing redness, swelling, or itching around the lips

Chances of patients actually suffering from these risks are very low because Dr Siddharth Sakhiya puts patient safety as a top priority on his action plan.
