Article Synopsis
- Many patients suitable for lip augmentation often undergo facelift procedures, allowing for simultaneous lip enhancement using healthy tissue called SMAS, harvested during the facelift.
- From April 1995 to January 2000, a study including 103 patients showed that using SMAS grafts for lip augmentation resulted in positive aesthetic outcomes, despite initial swelling concerns.
- A follow-up survey indicated that 78% of patients reported fuller lips post-surgery, and many maintained their results for up to 5 years, suggesting effective long-term satisfaction.
