Lip augmentation

Females often have fuller lips than males so lip filling is often used in feminisation. There are many methods of lip filling from injecting fat, fillers and V-Y flaps. Things to keep in mind:

• Preferred technique is Fat Transfer
• HA-fillers, but not lasting.
• Fascia strips.
• V-Y flaps in order to outroll the red part of the upper lip.
• Goretex sheets: never done in our practice.
• Silicone implants: never done in our practice.
