LIPS AND SMILE LINES
Thin lips and "smile lines" around the lips are a tell-tale sign of aging. This area can be made to look more youthful by restoring fullness and smoothness to the lips. Lip augmentation can be performed in a number of ways.A variety of injectable fillers are available to enhance the targeted areas. The materials injected are natural components of the skin and therefore do not cause an allergic or rejection response. These materials incorporate into the normal tissue and eventually becomes absorbed by the body over a period of 6-12 months.
Fat Injection is another option for lip augmentation. Fat injection involves extracting fat from another area of the body, usually by liposuction, and injecting it into the desired region. This procedure can easily be performed in the doctor’s office with local anesthesia.

Meticulous, Conservative Approach
Dr. Kim believes that the key to achieving pleasing, natural appearing results in these lip and face augmentation procedures is through a meticulous technique and a conservative approach. The meticulous technique means that whatever material is implanted be placed exactly in the anatomical location needed for improvement. The conservative approach mandates that only appropriate amounts of implant material are placed. Implantation of too much material inevitably leads to an artificial, “over-done” appearance.fake
