Abstract
The 1990s have focused on the lips as a sign of both beauty and youthfulness. New lip enhancement techniques have included modifications of traditional surgical augmentation and advancement techniques, new injectables, and innovative synthetic augmentation materials. Selecting the most appropriate treatment has never been more challenging for the facial plastic surgeon. The indications, advantages, disadvantages, and shortcomings of lip enhancement techniques are reviewed.Keywords
