Soft tissue
Suction Lip Plumpers
Swelling injuries dressed up as enhancement — hours of duration, real bruising risk.
Also called: lip plumper · suction lip device · lip suction
Verdict — cope
The mechanism does not hold. Your time is better spent elsewhere.
Evidence grade D
Nobody has demonstrated this works. Note that this grades the evidence, not the danger — read the verdict for that.
Mechanism
Vacuum trauma causes edema and capillary damage; the 'plump' is literally injury swelling.

The full read
The effect lasts a few hours, and repeated use causes broken capillaries and irregular tissue texture. Every 'permanent results' testimonial is filler they didn't disclose. If you want durable lip volume, that's what HA filler is for — reversible, dosed, and injected around (not into) vasculature by someone trained.
