What Type of Lip Enhancements Are Available?

There is a myriad of lip enhancement procedures out there – some surgical, and others non-surgical – offering a range of temporary or permanent solutions.

Surgical Lip Enhancement Treatments:

As these are permanent, you should think very carefully before you embark on these irreversible treatments. These 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 and 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 have 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 good-quality facilities, medical expertise and it’s not too far away.

As with any medical procedure, you should do your own research to find out what’s available and that 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 has some fantastic quality providers, and it is up to you to make sure you choose one of them. Unfortunately, good and bad quality exists everywhere in the world, so you need to be fully confident in the choice you make. Medical Departures makes this whole 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 real patient reviews – allowing you to browse at your leisure and come up with your own 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 get the best prices with us.

What is the cost of lip enhancements in Tijuana compared to the United States or Canada?
