An Obsession With Lip Injection

Plastic surgery in Orange County has consistently been trend driven, and year after year, we are able to see the correlation between plastic surgery, fashion, and film. On the top of the list of growing trends this year, lip augmentation has become one of the newfound obsessions. As many of you know, my Orange County plastic surgery practice loves to stay on the cutting-edge of what is happening in cosmetic surgery.  

ACCORDING TO A STUDY FROM THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLASTIC SURGEONS (ASPS), LIP IMPLANT PROCEDURES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE REACHED NEW LEVELS.

Not only is lip augmentation surgery popular among women, but men have fallen privy to lip augmentation as well. Other key points made in this study were that there were 27,449 lip implants placed in 2015. “This increase in lip implants averages out to about one every 19 minutes, and an increase of 48% since 2000.”

Even though local plastic surgeons can always depend on Breast Augmentation in Orange County to be the leader of the pack for cosmetic surgery procedures, the terms for beauty are continuously evolving, and lip augmentation has been a sure-fire contender for 2016.

Kylie Jenner is currently at the forefront of the “Fuller lips” movement and has even developed a line of cosmetics that will allow women to achieve the look using makeup. Lip augmentation procedures are now the new “Botox©” in the aesthetic cosmetic surgery world. However, lip filler has been popular for quite some time. In fact, second to Kylie Jenner in popularity is actress Angelina Jolie for requests in lip augmentation, according to an article from Real Self.  

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING LIP AUGMENTATION IN THE NEAR FUTURE, REMEMBER THAT CHOOSING THE RIGHT ORANGE COUNTY PLASTIC SURGEON IS CRUCIAL TO THE LOOK YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE.

I hear from men and women all the time that they want to achieve a look from a certain celebrity, but it is crucial that you remember that each person is unique and will achieve the best results for his/her own facial structure.

Be sure that your plastic surgeon is certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You need a qualified Doctor that understands symmetry and form. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will also submit to the highest level of safety standards and will not compromise the integrity of the procedure for budget cuts.
