Volume Augmentation

Volume augmentation in cosmetic surgery refers to the process of increasing volume in specific areas of the body or face.  The goal is to achieve natural-looking results that improve overall aesthetic appearance.

What it Does ...

Our team helps you choose the optimal method depending on your features, desired augmentation level, timeframe, and budget.

i.  Implants are employed to increase volume in various areas of head and neck.

These implants, commonly made from silicone or saline, are widely used.

ii. Flaps involve transferring or grafting soft tissue to areas needing enhancement, serving as an alternative to implants in augmentation surgeries.

iii. Fat Transfer utilises liposuction to extract fat from areas like the stomach or thighs and purifies the fat for injection into areas needing volume, such as chin, cheeks, and lips. This method may be used alone or in conjunction with other volumising techniques.

iv. Soft-Tissue Fillers are popular for non-surgical volume augmentation of the chin, cheeks, nose, and lips. They vary in type, often containing collagen, hyaluronic acid, or microsphere technology to temporarily smooth wrinkles and add volume. Soft-tissue fillers offer immediate results with minimal downtime.
