Augmentation of the lips can be traced back to the nineteenth century when practitioners experimented by injecting liquid paraffin into the lips. Needless to say, this was unsuccessful so in the nineteen sixties liquid silicone was tried but the health side effects were not favourable so that was abandoned. Next was bovine collagen, a natural food additive, obtained from cows that however produced allergy concerns. A lot of scientific and technological development has produced hyaluronic acid which is a polysaccharide which is naturally produced in the human body. Now in the twenty-first century lip fillers Kent delivers a safe treatment using fluid produced from human bodies.
Sculpturing

Lips that compliment your face
None of us is the same and it is best to present some idea of the desired result so that the practitioner can determine the best treatment plan to achieve the final result successfully.

Sometimes seeing what someone else has is not always the actual result or effect that is required and some reflection can save problems later. Using the physiological experience gained over many years of practice, a dentist will ascertain what is actually required. The shape of a patient’s face can be enhanced by the correct complementary treatment. Over-exaggerated lips can appear to distort the shape of the face which is why graduated treatment is advisable.
Can the treatment be reversed?
