It's big business, it's being done by women of all ages. If you don't like your lips there is a solution, have lip implant surgery.
There was a woman on the news this morning, she had been a model and she was beautiful. But she thought her lips were too thin so she went with lip implant surgery. Now she says she is very happy. It makes her feel like she is younger.
She is not alone - there were over 27,000 lip implant surgeries in the last year....one every 20 minutes. Would you have lip transplant surgery?
Last year marked a record number of lip implants in the United States, according to data released this week from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

@AbbyGreenhill If they look a bit thin, we can always play with the lipstick, no need to spend money on surgery.

@Jessicalynnt I wore contacts for years, but when we quite work I found myself only putting them in 3 days a week, which was a big waste of money - so I went back to glasses...and glasses it will be, they don't bother me in the least.

@AbbyGreenhill well I already do that, nothing is perfect, but being able to not need nearly as much correction, or have 'could go blind unless you wear these horrible uncomfie contacts EVERY day' hanging over my head to go away would also be nice

If they have the money to pay for it - since I would bet insurance doesn't pay.

That actor - Lisa whatever, her lips are horrible. I don't want extra parts put in me.

@AbbyGreenhill Almost all the celebrities are very attractive even if not maybe beautiful. Why they want to go and tamper with their body beats me.

No I sure wouldn't, I have seen some of those lip implants and it looks like they laid a huge slug on their lips. Yikes another plastic surgery gone bad.

The girl on the news - her lips were tiny so the implants didn't make them huge...but I think they have several sizes.

@fishtiger58 Most people avoid any extra surgery, especially non-essential stuff.

@AbbyGreenhill It's really a shame people can't just be happy with what they have. Crazy if you ask me. To voluntarily go under the knife is just nuts to me.

Whatever trips your ticket I guess. After seeing what Lisa R. did to hers I couldn't see doing it. Never had a problem with thin lips so I guess I am lucky. People must feel lie they are coming out of the recession we were in and can afford such things again.Or,maybe Lisa R. being on the Housewives got people going. I notice she had hers reduced.

@AbbyGreenhill ....Modeling doesn't pay all that great when they first start out.

She looks better since she went smaller. The girl on TV was a model so I guess it's part of what earns her a living.

Yes, they don't look very good at all, but I guess we all have different ideas of what is beautiful.

Good, I think it's a little weird to get your lips made bigger.

Never crossed my mind no. I have no shame in my looks. Some lip surgeries look horrendous in my opinion.

My lips are thin and i know it will get thinner as i grow more older. But I'm not going to have an implant. I just don't want to spend my money on my lips.

No thank you. I am okay with my lips and other parts of my body. I cant imagine goin to surgery for those. It cost a lot of money and its painful, i bet.. And beside it is not necesarry. Some people even bother to go to that trouble then later found out it doesnt suit them. We need to Accept our body and love it...

Not transplant, implant...they put a silicon piece inside the lip.

Me neither, and why go under anesthetic when you don't have to.
