A new poll shows most of us want to have lips like Angelina Jolie, which doesn't surprise me. She's gorgeous. But her lips look good on her and wouldn't fit most of our faces. I haven't ever seen a good 'after' with lip augmentation, but I think it is probably because most people go overboard and get them too big, desiring that Angelina pout. Moderation is key.
Lip augmentation is the magnification of the lips with a cosmetic facial filler, fat transfer, or lip implants to create fuller lips. Several types of fillers and implants are available:human-based collagen filler, bovine-based collagen, hyaluronic acid solution, and fat transfer. The major difference is how long the effects will last.
In moderation, lip plumping can look fantastic. Here are some before and after pictures that show the wonders lip plumping can do to overall appearance.
