Lip Augmentation: Preparing for Surgery
Lip augmentation, like any surgical procedure, requires that you be in good health. Talk over any health concerns or problems that you may have with your doctor.

Though most lip enhancement procedures take only about 45 minutes and do not require preliminary tests, if you opt for the collagen injection, you will have to undergo a skin-allergy test and then wait at least six weeks to ensure that you have not had an allergic reaction to the material.

In cases where your underlying dental architecture is causing your lips to droop or hang, you might first want to consult an oral surgeon to discuss your options before considering lip augmentation.
