Since the early 1900s, full lips have been a key factor in women’s beauty. During that period,surgeons attempted to use paraffin as a method for lip augmentation, but their efforts were futile. In the 1960s, plastic surgeons began to use silicon as a technique for lip augmentation, but over 30 years, that technique proved to be an unhealthy one. In the 1980s, injectable bovine collagen was introduced into the market as the safest and most effective non-surgical method for lip augmentation. Over time, that process became time consuming and didn’t produce long lasting results. In the early 90’s, Hyaluronic acid was introduced into the industry due to its natural elements. It was rapidly implemented by plastic surgeons around the world as the best non-surgical method for lip augmentation that provided patients with top results.

1. Lip Augmentation
Since the early 1900s, full lips have been a key factor in women’s beauty. During
that period,surgeons attempted to use paraffin as a method for lip augmentation, but their
efforts were futile. In the 1960s, plastic surgeons began to use silicon as a technique for lip
augmentation, but over 30 years, that technique proved to be an unhealthy one. In the
1980s, injectable bovine collagen was introduced into the market as the safest and most
effective non-surgical method for lip augmentation. Over time, that process became time
consuming and didn’t produce long lasting results. In the early 90’s, Hyaluronic acid was
introduced into the industry due to its natural elements. It was rapidly implemented by
plastic surgeons around the world as the best non-surgical method for lip augmentation that
provided patients with top results.

2. Hyaluronic Acid
What makes hyaluronic acid so unique is that it is a natural substance
that our own bodies produce. Hyaluronic acid performs like a system that
transfers nutrients from our blood cells to our skin cells; it is an element that
is in all living things. In humans, high levels of hyaluronic acid are found in
tissues, and fluids that surround the eyes. There is also a reasonable amount
of hyaluronic acid found in joint fluids and cartilage. Plastic surgeons are also
able to control the amount that they inject into the patient, giving the patient
a more natural look. With hyaluronic acid, the treatment can be spread over a
period of time until the preferred results are reached. Hyaluronic acid causes
minimal bruising and swelling compared to other dermal fillers and an allergic
reaction is unlikely.
Lip Augmentation and Dr. Torgerson
Lip augmentation may be a non-surgical procedure and the filler is made of
a naturalsubstance. For top results, it is essential that the procedure be performed
by a board certified facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Torgerson. Dr. Torgerson’s
Toronto Clinic uses the best dermal fillers in the market such asRestylane, Teosyal
and Juvederm. Dr. Torgerson’s injectable filler techniques are unmatched in the
industry and often travels teaching other surgeons, physicians and nurse injecotrs
about the latest techniques and best practices. Dr. Torgerson uses dermal fillers
that comprise of Lidocaine, a freezing agent for extra comfort.

3. Lip Augmentation Procedure
Dr. Torgerson will first discuss with
his patient the outcome of the procedure,
the risks involved, and how to prepare. Dr.
Torgerson will then converse with his
patient about different techniques, and
dermal filler products that will work for
them. Once Dr. Torgerson has worked out
the best method and product that will be
used, he will then begin the procedure by
giving his patients a topical freezing to have
them feel at ease. Dr.Torgerson’s lip
augmentation procedure only takes
approximately 15 minutes.
Results and Recovery
Dr. Torgerson’s lip augmentation last approximately 6 months, but
this really depends onhow fast a person’s body breaks down the dermal filler
component. The recovery from dermalfiller lip augmentation is very minimal,
with some swelling and possible bruising over the following couple of days.
