Collagen or fat injections can be used to plump the lips, but touch-up injections will be needed periodically.
Alternatively, implantation of a soft biocompatible material such as Softform or Gore-Tex will give a permanent full, sensual youthful appearance to the upper and/or lower lips.
This material is placed into the lip through small incisions and acts as a filler to increase the red show and projection of the lip.
These procedures can also be used to fill creases in the face caused by aging.
