Sources needed
This article makes many statements without citing sources (liquid silicone injections being harmless, for example). As a reader, I doubt the credibility of this article in its current, take-their-word-for-it form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.146.80 (talk) 02:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Lip enhancement → Lip augmentation — The word "enhancement" is inherently subjective and makes the article seem like an advertisement for the procedure. I propose changing the title to "Lip enlargement" or "Lip augmentation", terms which objectively describe what the procedure does. relisted--Mike Cline (talk) 14:11, 29 February 2012 (UTC) 138.16.32.85 (talk) 16:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

How is "augmentation" any less subjective than "enhancement"? It also connotes an improvement over the existing lip. "Enlargement" is more neutral, but are you sure lips are only enlarged? Can they be reduced or the shape changed as well? Besides unsatisfactory descriptions in the title, of more importance is how it is commonly known. In that case "enhancement" appears to be more common in general Google search, whereas "augmentation" appears to be more common in Google scholar and Google books. There are very few hits on scholar and books for either term however, so I don't see a pressing need to change this title. — Bility (talk) 21:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Augmentation is the "act of augmenting" which means to "enlarge or increase." Not to improve. I am inclined to agree with the label "lip augmentation," since it is not subjective. --Alex Colgan, copywriter173.252.36.152 (talk) 23:33, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting, I've seen "augment" used interchangeably with "improve" in numerous instances, but you're right that's not the dictionary definition. — Bility (talk) 01:25, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think much of that results from misconceptions surrounding "breast augmentation" and the notion that expanding or increasing something is necessarily an improvement. In terms of budgets, functions, and features, it certainly tends to be a good thing. Alex Colgan 173.252.36.78 (talk) 17:38, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I don't suppose anyone would say "He augmented his body with copious amounts of fried, fatty foods." I guess it's just the connotation that is generally positive. — Bility (talk) 22:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support The phrase "lip augmentation" is recognizable to those knowledgeable of the industry. I can point to a number of plastic surgeons' websites that use the term if necessary. It is also more precise, since it means to increase in size, while "enhancement" is vague and could conceivably apply to non-enlarging procedures (i.e. those that don't inject materials into the lips, which is the subject of the article). Also, I love the sentence "He augmented his body with copious amounts of fried, fatty foods," and will begin using it on a daily basis.

 * Support. Common name, and for more than two years the lead has read Lip enhancement is a type of cosmetic surgery that aims to improve the appearance of the lips by increasing their fullness through enlargement (my emphasis). So the article is already specifically about enlargement rather than just enhancement. Andrewa (talk) 19:34, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support: Augmentation is more common in the industry and scholarly sources and is a more specific term for what the article covers. — Bility (talk) 16:43, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per Alex Colgan. Augmentation is more specific and less POV. Superm401 - Talk 07:00, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Trout pout?
I understand that Wikipedia tries to report facts rather than change them. Nevertheless, from the pictures I have seen, the term sucker pucker'' would be more appropriate. I have yet to see fat lips on a trout. Squawfish and suckers occasionally hit flies and those mouths do look more like human mouths with overblown human lips. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.9.164 (talk) 00:46, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
