In recent years, lip augmentation has become a more popular procedure, even for men. Why has lip augmentation for men become popular? Is the procedure different for men and women? And what should you know before you start? We've gathered some of the important details for you. 

The lips are the center of our face, and they attract attention almost immediately. Therefore, when we are not satisfied with the appearance of our lips, it can affect our emotional state, health, and self-confidence. However, in the era we live in, we do not have to accept our dissatisfaction with our lips. Lip augmentation with fillers is a completely common treatment, which many women have adopted, and recently, men too.

Why are men interested in lip fillers?

In the last decade, the field of aesthetic treatments for men has been gaining momentum, growing and becoming in demand, which leads to many men interested in undergoing various aesthetic treatments, from liposuction to lip augmentation. 

The reason for this is that today there are much more diverse ideals of beauty, especially since society has a higher acceptance and inclusion capacity when it comes to the field of male grooming, so it is not uncommon to see expressions of androgyny and different shades of gender identity. Also, fashion trends, various trends that adopt a more inclusive gender approach and the fact that personal lives are much more documented on all social networks, all of these and more are reasons that may lead men to want to do a subtle touch-up.

Is there a difference between lip augmentation for men and lip augmentation for women?

Like women, men want to feel their best and are not immune to the physical and emotional effects that aging can bring. More men are undergoing various treatments, so it is not uncommon to hear about a man who has had liposuction . Indeed, liposuction is a similar process between the two sexes, but is liposuction also?

As men age, their lips thin out, and many men's facial hair may cover their upper lip, which can significantly change their overall appearance, let alone their feel. That's why many men choose to treat their upper lip, perform small filler injections to improve their appearance, and sometimes also inject into their lower lip, to highlight their natural anatomy and make their appearance more attractive.

How do you take care of men's lips?

When performing lip augmentation for men, there are several considerations that are important to take into account. First and foremost, the entire facial area must be considered and the appropriate amount of filler must be decided so that the face appears balanced and proportionate. Therefore, in addition to the lips themselves, it is important to also examine other areas that require a little volume, and to talk with the patient to decide how to create the perfect balance for the face, through cosmetic means.

What is important to consider is that sometimes, the filler will last longer for women, while men will require the procedure again sooner. Keep in mind that lip augmentation does not have to include just volume, but can also make a subtle change and really sculpt the lips. What is important is to choose a professional and licensed place to perform your lip augmentation.

The benefits of lip augmentation for men

Lip augmentation offers quite a few benefits to men interested in this type of treatment, including:

• Customization – The procedure is customized based on the unique anatomy of your face to achieve the best results for you.
• Natural appearance – During the treatment, fillers are injected that enhance, redefine, and add volume to the natural appearance of your lips.
• Better symmetry – The symmetry and proportion of the face can be improved by increasing lip volume, defining lip boundaries, lip symmetry, and more.
• A simple procedure with minimal risks – aside from possible swelling or marks, the procedure is safe and does not involve many risks. 

Things you need to know about the procedure

Lip augmentation uses fillers to improve the shape , size, and proportions of your lips, while still maintaining their natural appearance. Fillers can be used to redefine specific areas of the lips, giving them more volume or creating better proportions, which can make your face look younger. Additionally, the treatment focuses not only on the appearance of the lips themselves, but also on the area around them. 

Today, there are different techniques for lip augmentation, which allow for different results, with the most common technique being injection. The procedure itself is not long, it takes about 30 minutes, and to prevent discomfort, an anesthetic is applied to the lips before the treatment if necessary. The results of the procedure vary greatly from person to person, they can add stiffness or softness to the lips, so before the treatment, a consultation is held during which the experts will recommend lip augmentation according to your wishes and preferences, as well as the structure of your face.

Are there any side effects?

The procedure for male lip augmentation does not involve many side effects. The most common side effects are bleeding, swelling, or discomfort, but these effects are expected to pass relatively quickly. The risk of side effects is minimized when you choose a professional place.

How long will the results last?

Lip augmentation can last for a variable period of time, ranging from a year to a year and a half, and in some patients, the period may even be longer. To achieve the best results, it is always worth choosing a quality place with a licensed team that has a wealth of experience and a reputation, for a high level of peace of mind.
