Scientists have devised a new method for enhancing lips by the use of splices of muscle and connective tissues from the neck.

It is in connection with the ageing process where a woman undergoes this surgical procedure to boost-up the flattened upper lip.

A researcher at the Aesthetic Surgery Center in Naples, Anurag Agarwal along with his colleagues studied the findings of a survey conducted on 25 patients. These patients were operated for lip-augmentation. The process also included usage of a particular muscle that runs around the neck, sternocleidomastoid.

It was observed that the mass of pink tissues present on the upper and lower lips saw a rise by a considerable 20 to 24 percent post surgery. This happened with no side-effects or deformities and also the head and neck movements were perfectly in order with no signs of nerve injuries.

This technique adds to the list of ever increasing mediums of cosmetic surgery.
