Kissable Lips Again... Three Top Lip Enhancement Strategies

By Robin Derry

Look in the mirror carefully. Remember how full your lips looked when you were younger? Is it possible that your lips are shrinking? And what about those annoying lip lines that only look more noticeable when you try to camouflage them with make-up?

The truth always hammers away at our illusions, but it's basically true. As you've aged, lip muscles have tensioned to cause lip wrinkles. Meanwhile, the actual volume of your lips has slowly diminished. Lip tone and firmness has "flattened out". Worse yet, past luscious lip color has slowly paled.

Getting Control Over Upper Lip Wrinkles.

Smokers accept that they'll create lip wrinkles. However, if you're one of the millions of women who've never smoked, then you're right to be frustrated by the emergence of these fine lip wrinkles and lip lines. For awhile, ordinary cosmetics gave the cover-up necessities to make you look OK. However, time pecks away and now those lip lines have deepened and make-up only produces garish colored shadow-lines...creating an eye-catching draw to your wrinkles.

Plump Lip Strategy #1 - Lip Enhancement Surgery With Collagen.

Purified and safe FDA approved bovine collagen material is "harvested" from source beasties, placed in a refrigerated vial and delivered "fresh" each day to cosmetic surgeons performing collagen lip enhancement surgery. You'll receive a local anesthetic in order to numb the treatment area. Based on your lip size and shape, along with the depth or volume of the lip lines, the ideal amount of collagen is carefully injected. Results? You get luscious lips once again.

Kissable Lip Strategy # 2 - Lip Enhancement Surgery With Fat.

Who'd ever think that your fat butt might be the source of "material" to create full sensuously curved lips? Such a transfer happens all the time as women re-create their lip shape by undergoing lip enhancement surgery using their body's own spare "stores" of fat as the source material. Using your own body fat keeps the matter "in-house", removing any health risk of tissue rejection which can occur when you inject fat cells harvested from an animal or another human. Adding just 10% to 20% additional volume to your lips will make a world of difference. More firm sensuous plump lips create a beautiful smile, plus reduce lip wrinkles.

Luscious Lip Strategy # 3 - Lip Enhancement Surgery With Synthetics.

A technology break-through enjoyed by millions of men and women since the 1990's is the treatment of lip wrinkles and lip lines using completely synthetic injectable materials, such as proprietary Restylane or Hydrafill. Over lunch you can receive Restylane treatment to fill-in medium to deep creases, lines, folds along with "crows feet" lines.Synthetic fillers like Restylane are designed with three different "strengths" or viscosity, in order to achieve different semi-permanent results. Your dermatologist and you need to carefully determine how much change you're seeking, and which grade of synthetic matches your needs.

Watch Out For The Overly Plump Lip Fiasco!

Getting the right look means choosing the right cosmetic surgeon. Only trust someone with a proven track record in lip augmentation surgery. You must act defensively, because leaving the out patient surgery center with a crooked smile or with unnaturally large and plump lips would be devastating. Everyone would instantly notice...especially when a major mistake occurs.

How Long Do Lip Augmentation results "Hold"?

Any lip injection therapy will be semi-permanent. Bio-sourced collagen and fat will eventually become absorbed by your body. Your results from these bio-sourced lip fillers is counted on one hand, from 2 to 4 months maximum. Synthetics may last twice that long, or up to 9 months before re-treatment is necessary.

Lip Plumpers

By Danna Schneider

Thousands of women crave larger, fuller lips. Everywhere you turn you see models on magazine covers with impossibly full, pouty lips. Were they all really born with naturally fabulous lips, or did they get a little help from a good "cosmeceutical" lip plumper?

What are Cosmeceuticals?

Cosmeceuticals are the marriage of cosmetics and pharmaceutical-type technology. They are the modern marvel of the cosmetics world that allow women to nonsurgically alter their appearance dramatically, and without trauma, needles or scalpels. Examples of cosmeceuticals are as follows:

1.) Advanced lip plumpers that deliver deep hyrdration and plumping agents as microparticles beneath the skin, or transdermally, which plump the lips dramatically and usually can last for hours.

2.) Wrinkle fillers such as the touted "botox alternatives" with the temporary wrinkle filling, or skin plumping ingredient hyaluronic acid.

3.) Acne refining products and antiaging in-home treatments that mimic the effects of in-office treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser therapy.

4.) Breast Enhancing and enlarging supplements, serums and creams which can enhance fullness and size of breasts.

5.) Cellulite or fat reduction creams, gels and serums which claim to help break down cellulite and reduce thigh circumference.

These are just some examples in the realm of natural cosmetic enhancement that fall in the same category as natural lip plumpers and lip enlargement products.

Signs of a Good Lip Plumper

Look for customer reviews on lip plumpers before you invest. Good lip enhancers will usually show some type of a review or maybe even a before and after picture of typical results from product use. If there are not pictures, then you should be able to see some sort of written testimonials. Also, reputation counts for a lot! Word of mouth, no pun intended, lends a lot of credibility to any cosmetic product.

Look for emollient ingredients (moisturizing) and stay away form too many "acids" or alcohols, as they only will result in dried out, parched lips that only stay plumped for about a half hour, and only work by irritating the outer layer of the lip which results in flushing and temporary plumping.

I can think of a few I've tried that fit into this category. I won't mention names, but let's just say you should stay away from any that are a "lip plumping gel". It's important the the product uses a creamy base, not a gel base, which will only dry and crack your lips.

My favorite lip plumper is one that actually delivers moisture in a cream base along with microspheres of collagen that are supposed to transdermally absorb into the lips, noticeably plumping and moisturizing your lips for hours at a time. It also gives a slight sheen to your lips that doesn't feel gooey or tacky.

Ask and You Shall Receive

Fuller, plumper lips can definitely be yours, without surgery or needles. You just have to know which ones work, and with use you will definitely see a noticeable difference in the fullness, moisture, and plumpness of your lips. I know I have my personal favorites, and the reason I like these particular lip enhancing products over others is that they do not dry my lips out at all, yet they plump them. As long as you can find one that does the job without parching your pout, you've got a winner!
