Thin lips can give your face a perceived "pinched" look which is why so many of us use surgery or non-invasive treatments to plump them up for a sexier, more generous look.

Lip augmentation in Chiang Mai can help you get the lips you always wanted for a lower price than at home. Find out more with Medical Departures and take advantage of our best prices online.

What Is Lip Augmentation?

Thin lips are often inherited, though with age if your lips are not very big, they can become thinner. Plump lips can change the entire appearance of your face and if you have always hankered for them, then you now have more options than ever before to achieve the pouty lips you desire.

For permanent results, plastic surgery is the only answer. However, if you don’t wish to undergo surgery just yet, you can elect to have dermal fillers, implants or even fat transfer treatment, which will not yield permanent results but are a less invasive option. With a more generous mouth, you will be able to apply lipstick in a wider range of colours as some shades can make thin lips look even thinner. You will also reduce the appearance of fine lines around the lips.

If cost is a factor holding you back, then Chiang Mai is an affordable alternative for cosmetic procedures. If you want to enjoy a holiday at the same time then Chiang Mai is a go-to destination worthy of consideration. You can choose from a number of excellent clinics and hospitals, with well-trained doctors.

Chiang Mai boasts a wide choice of exciting tourist attractions, a great climate and natural beauty.  Home to some of Thailand's most historic temples and heritage, there are also a number of exciting day trips available to fill your time; or just spend it at a slower pace inside the city's Old Town quarter.

Accommodations are readily available at various price points to suit your budget and you can choose from all manner of global and local cuisines. Boasting a busy international airport, you can land directly in Chiang Mai if you arrive from Australia, Singapore, Myanmar and other points of departure.

• DIAA Aesthetic Clinic
• Silanna Clinic
• Machita Clinic (K Park Business Center)

Lip augmentation can take between half an hour to more than an hour, depending on which procedure you select. Surgery will obviously take longer as will fat transfer as fat must first be harvested and processed before being used. With lip implants, the doctor must make small incisions and insert the implants. Injectable fillers are the quickest procedure available.

The recovery period will vary with the procedure. Your post-surgery recovery will take the longest time, while dermal fillers require virtually no downtime. Implants and surgery can take around two weeks for recovery. These yield relatively permanent results, whereas fillers and fat injections are gradually absorbed by the body and will eventually require repeated treatments. If you are not sure about how much you want your lips augmented or you want to check out the experience first, then fillers are safer choices.

In Chiang Mai, you can expect to pay a starting price of AUD 300 for fillers, and more for surgery and implants. In Australia, you can expect to pay between AUD 700 and AUD 3,000 for lip augmentation, and the rate depends on where you are and which kind of treatment you opt for.
