Hey, breast augmentation. Meet the lip implant.
A new procedure called FulFil Lip from California-based Evera Medical, has just been approved for testing by the FDA. Much like a breast implant, the FulFil Lip is a balloon that can be filled with saline and then inserted into the lip. A micro-valve prevents any fluid from leaking.
Outside the U.S., the company already markets VeraFil, a saline implant that plumps skin around the eye.
Right now, there are myriad ways to inflate your pucker – from injecting collagen from a dead person to grafting fat from your caboose. And Surgisis, an implant derived from the intestines of pigs, is on the horizon, too.
As for the new lip implant, you get to pick your size, though the company has not yet released a size chart.
Since 2000, there has been a 27 percent increase in lip augmentation, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Oh, and a study by the Beverly Hills Institute of Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery said Angelina Jolie’s lips are the most requested.
