This needs to be done approximately one month before the collagen injection.

There are many lip enhancement cosmetic surgeries. Here is a run down of the many lip plastic surgeries available to you as a substance that can be injected to plump up deflated or prim looking lips.

• Auto-legen - This is a dermal implant made from the patient's own skin that is injected into the corners of the mouth. As it is from a human, it has a natural look and feel.
• Dermalogen -This is an injectable human tissue obtained from human donor tissue. As it is from a human, this tissue gives lips a realistic look and natural feel.
• Fascia - This is firm tissue that is injectable. Fascia is the white connective tissue that supports the body structure. It is harvested from your own body. Fascia can also be inserted into the lips as an implant.

SIDE EFFECTS

Some side effects can occur. Allergic reactions are quite common with some of the synthetic injectable's. After an injection, it is also quite common to experience swelling, swelling, redness, or bleeding around the lip outline. Your lips might also feel numb or you might feel hard spots if the artificial collagen did not set properly in the tissues. Normally these types of symptoms only last for about three days to a week.

Severe complications include asymmetrical lips and loss of natural lip line. Like any other type of implant, it is also possible for lip collagen injections to wander to another part of the body. Usually they migrate to the cheek, above the lips or below the chin causing a puffy look.

Immediate return to normal activities (one-day return if sedated) for non-surgical procedures; depending on the procedure and materials used, recovery period is within a week for surgical procedures
