What Type of Lip Enhancements Are Available?

You can choose from a number of lip enhancement procedures–some surgical, and others non-invasive–offering a range of temporary or permanent solutions.

Surgical Lip Enhancement Treatments:

As these are permanent, you should carefully research your desires and goals before embarking on these irreversible treatments.  Lip augmentation procedures include:

• Vermillion advancement – a procedure that increases the size of the lips by completely removing a thin strip of skin from around the colored part of the lips, and then stretching the lips to meet the skin, then suturing in place. Scarring is hidden by the natural lip edge.
  
  
• Lip implants – natural or synthetic implants are inserted through the corners of the mouth.
  
  
• Dermal grafts – Fat grafts taken from deeper layers of skin are inserted into the lips through incisions made inside the mouth.
  
  
• Lip lift – An incision is made under the nose, skin removed and the remaining skin pulled upwards and stitched in place. This can also be done to correct a downward-turning mouth by making incisions in the corners of the mouth.

Non-surgical Lip Enhancements:

• Autologous fat transfer – If you are having liposuction on another part of your body, it can be reinjected (after cleansing and processing) into the lips.
  
  
• Injection treatments – Brands such as Restylane® or Juvederm® can provide instant results, lasting for a number of months. To maintain your look, you can schedule periodic top-up sessions at home or while on holiday.

Why Should I Have Lip Enhancements in Tijuana?

Tijuana is a convenient location for North American patients, particularly those based near the border in southern California, and prices here are considerably lower than at home. The city has become a major destination for medical tourists with modern facilities and high-quality clinical care.

As with any medical procedure, you should conduct your own research to learn what’s available and to confirm the results will match your expectations. Once you have narrowed down your options, you can then begin the search for the clinics and surgeons who offer those treatments. 

Tijuana offer reliable, well-established providers, and it is up to you to make sure you choose one of them.   Medical Departures makes this process easier by checking by confirming qualifications and even international professional memberships. We perform criminal and legal records checks, and carry out on-site visits before any facility is listed on our site. This means you are assured of receiving care from quality-checked professionals when you book through us. We also make it easier to choose by providing clinic photos, virtual tours and verified patient reviews–allowing you to browse at your leisure to arrive at your shortlist of suitable providers.

We know that cost is important, but don’t let that override your common-sense. Be happy and secure with your choice–and we guarantee you will always obtain the best prices with us.
