Lip Augmentation in Mumbai
Younger individuals generally have soft, well-contoured lips with a distinct Cupid’s bow and a defined vermilion border — the line where the lip meets the surrounding skin. With age, the lips tend to lose their natural volume and definition, becoming thinner and less shapely. Fine vertical lines may also appear around the mouth, contributing to an older facial appearance. Lip Augmentation in Mumbai helps restore youthful lip fullness, enhance lip contours, and improve overall facial balance.
Apart from natural aging, factors such as sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, dehydration, smoking, stress, and allergies can further contribute to lip thinning and volume loss. Additionally, loss of fat and elasticity in surrounding facial tissues can cause the lips to turn downward and accentuate nasolabial folds.
At Designer Bodyz, lip augmentation is a customized cosmetic procedure performed to enhance, reshape, or restore lip volume. Using advanced techniques and safe, high-quality dermal fillers, Dr. Parag Telang tailors each treatment to the patient’s facial anatomy, ensuring aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking results. The procedure is suitable for both men and women seeking improved lip symmetry and enhanced facial harmony.
Indications for Lip Augmentation
- Thin or underdeveloped lips
- A very small mouth or disproportionate lip size
- Uneven, flat, or asymmetrical lips
- Lined, wrinkled, or deflated lips due to aging or sun damage
- Genetic or post-traumatic lip deformities
- Fading lip color or loss of natural pigment
- Poorly defined vermilion border (lip outline)
- Dry, chapped, or damaged lips lacking hydration and smoothness
Suitable Candidates for Lip Augmentation
Anyone seeking to enhance the shape, volume, or symmetry of their lips may be considered a candidate for lip augmentation, provided they meet the eligibility criteria determined by a certified plastic surgeon. Individuals with naturally thin lips or those who have lost lip volume due to aging often benefit most from this procedure.
Ideal candidates should:
- Be in good overall health
- Have no active infections or serious medical conditions
- Possess realistic expectations and a positive outlook toward the results
- Desire fuller, proportionate, and well-contoured lips that complement their facial features
However, lip augmentation may not be suitable for individuals who have:
- Recurrent herpes simplex virus (cold sore) infections
- Facial nerve disorders or autoimmune diseases
- Uncontrolled diabetes or severe hypertension
- A history of multiple allergies or hypersensitivity to filler materials
- Smoking habits, unless they have quit prior to treatment
To determine if you are an ideal candidate for lip augmentation in Mumbai, it is best to consult Dr. Parag Telang at Designer Bodyz. During the consultation, your lip anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic goals will be carefully evaluated to recommend the most suitable and safe treatment plan.

Treatment Options for Lip Augmentation/ Lip Enhancement:
The planning of the lip enhancement treatment in Mumbai at Designer Bodyz is done keeping in mind the patient’s facial profile, their concerns to be addressed, and their realistic goals to meet the desired natural results. Therefore, introductory consultation with the doctor is necessary to decide upon the best suitable treatment option which can be one of the following:
- Lip Fillers or Non-surgical Lip Augmentation
This usually involves the use of a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid which is naturally present in the body (especially in the skin). Hyaluronic acid is a dermal (soft tissue) filler that has the ability to strongly attract water and retain moisture, hence making the lips plumper with natural hydration. The filler ingredient is injected into the lips using an ultra-thin needle into specific points along the lip outline. It can be personalized depending upon the level of fullness desired by the candidate. Its effect usually lasts for a few months and the results can be reversed using a hyaluronidase enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid.
This method does not involve making incisions or using sutures. However, the patients may choose to get their lips numbed with a topical anesthetic before the fillers are administered to avoid needle pain.
The lip fillers can even be semi-permanent like Sculptra, Radiesse, Bellafill, and Aquamid which help by encouraging natural collagen production. The permanent lip fillers containing poly methyl methacrylate microspheres, hydrogel polymers, or silicone are usually not advised because of the complications associated with them.
- Lip Implants or Surgical Lip Augmentation
The surgical approach to augment the lips is performed using Permalip silicone implants. They are inserted and positioned underneath the lip tissue by making two small incisions. It is done under anesthesia and involves the use of sutures. In some cases, SMAS implants can be used wherein the natural collagen, fat, and fibrous tissue of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system are removed, shaped, and placed in the lips to restore their volume.
- Lip Augmentation With Fat Transfer
In this method, the cosmetic surgeon first harvests fat tissues from the patient’s fat rich body part such as abdomen, buttocks, or inner thighs and then after purifying this fat it is injected into the lips.
- Lip Augmentation With Autologen
This involves the use of autologous collagen lip injections. It is the safest and most-natural looking filler substance.

FAQs About Lip Augmentation in Mumbai
When can I go out in public after lip augmentation?
One can go back to work the next day without any problem. However, it takes a day or two for the swelling to go down. So, if one is very concerned and does not want to be obvious, they must plan 2-3 days out of the public eye. In case of fat injections and implants the recovery time can be highly variable from person to person but it is usually longer than lip fillers.
How much social downtime is required?
After fillers the swelling and redness lasts for a few hours following the procedure, and in case fat injections and implants are inserted there is a downtime of 2-3 weeks.
What side effects can be expected after the dermal fillers treatment?
With most of the injectables, common side effects are pain, tenderness, redness, swelling, and bruising. These are normal side effects and the majority of these resolve without treatment, within a few days.
