Lips augmentation
(Fat infiltration)
Increasing the size of the lips with fat transfer, involves removing fat from an area of the body and injecting it into the lips.

It is a surgery that the main objective is to reduce the distance that exists from the upper lip to the base of the nose, achieving a shortening of the distance between both.

- Hematic Biometry
- Blood Chemistry
- Prothrombin time
- Partial Thromboplastin Time
- Hematic Biometry
- Blood Chemistry
- Prothrombin time
- Partial Thromboplastin Time
Cardiological Evaluation
For the safety of our patients, it is very important to be sure that before having surgery they are in optimal health condition, that is why a cardio-logical evaluation is essential.
Preferably, it is requested that this assessment is perform in our city.
We have a list of specialist partners who support us with the assessments for our patients.

COVID Protocol
The epidemiological situation that we are currently experiencing made us adapt to our new reality, that is why we adapted for you a security protocol for COVID.
This protocol is to maximize the certainty that our patients are in the best health condition for your surgery.
The tests performed are:
- PCR, for its acronym in English for 'Polymerase Chain Reaction', is a diagnostic test that allows detecting a fragment of the genetic material of a pathogen, it is being used to determine whether or not a person is infected with COVID. It must be done no more than 5 days before surgery.
- Antibody test, unlike PCR, these tests do not identify the RNA of the virus, but rather detect antibodies produced against the virus using a blood sample, which is another way of knowing if the patients have an infected status.

DURING SURGERY
Sedation, the goals that are pursued when using sedation are: to reduce the anxiety of the patient, to reduce the pain produced by the injection of the local anesthetic, to increase the tolerance of the patient in long-term procedures.
Local anesthesia, is used to have loss or temporary absence of sensitivity in a limited area of the body.
The surgical time of Lip augmentation, lip lift or lip reduction is approximately 1 hour, it all depends on the case of the patient.
Important; The estimated time provided in this information is only about the surgical procedure, the preparation and recovery time must be considered.
