Lip augmentation

Lip augmentation with filler is one of the most popular procedures. A popular option is hyaluronic acid. Being a natural component in the body, the substance decreases in quantity over time, which leads to loss of contour clarity and decreased skin elasticity. That is why hyaluronic acid injections are practiced today. During the procedure, it is possible to achieve improved cellular metabolism, as well as the formation of an elastic framework in the lower and upper lips, in which collagen fibers are distributed evenly. This allows you to get rid of external manifestations of dehydration: cracks and peeling, as well as age and expression wrinkles.

The procedure helps to tighten the skin and smooth out its microrelief. Fillers are successfully used to correct imperfections such as asymmetry or insufficient volume. To correct asymmetry, 0.5 ml of the drug is enough, for a more noticeable lip augmentation – from 1 ml.

Instead of hyaluronic acid and collagen, the lips are filled with the client’s own fatty tissue. The advantages of this method:

• complete absence of allergic reactions;
• there is no rejection of the injected substance;
• the effect of the manipulation can last for more than 3 years.

Using a needle and special threads, caprolactone is installed in the tissue. The substance stimulates the production of native collagen and helps form an additional tissue base. The threads dissolve after 2-2.5 years.

Correcting the contour without injections is much more difficult, because achieving the desired and visible result is possible only with the help of special substances. But, despite this, many girls want to enlarge their lips without injections. Let’s highlight 3 methods:

1. Mechanical action – any type of massage
2. Thermage – exposure to radio waves
3. Electroporation – introduction of hyaluronic acid with an electrical device

As practice has shown, these methods are not effective. Turkish surgeons perform the Lip lift procedure, which has shown amazing results. It allows you to give the desired shape, add volume and reduce the distance from the upper lip to the nose to remove the required amount of tissue. This allows you to lift the upper lip by 2-4 mm, depending on the patient’s wishes. After Lip lift, there are no visible scars at the base of the nose. The shape of the lips can be corrected with injections.

Looking more attractive is not the only reason why women of different ages want to improve themselves. Girls may not be satisfied with their proportions, age-related changes. Thanks to innovative techniques, you can significantly improve the shape, add volume, and at the same time get rid of many shortcomings. Indications for the procedure:

• asymmetry
• insufficient volume
• perioral wrinkles
• irregular shape

Contraindications to lip augmentation:

• pregnancy and lactation
• complex chronic diseases such as oncology, diabetes, poor blood clotting, autoimmune diseases
• herpes rashes and other dermatological problems
• psoriasis, jaundice, hepatitis

First, the doctor discusses with the patient all the details related to the procedure: the desired shape for lip augmentation, cost, and selects a suitable drug. The procedure lasts no more than 40 minutes. Stages:

• Before performing the lip augmentation procedure, an anesthetic is applied to make the process less painful. The cosmetologist does a test, then uses application anesthesia.
• The selected drug is injected into the desired area according to a pre-prepared scheme, taking into account individual characteristics and desired results.

Possible consequences after lip augmentation: swelling (usually lasts no more than 2-4 days), small bruises, redness (lasts several hours).

Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid and other fillers is a simple procedure, so the recommendations during the recovery period are minimal:

• It is not advisable to use balms, gloss and lipstick for the first 10-14 days
• It is important to refrain from smoking, eating hot foods and drinks
• It is forbidden to visit a solarium, sauna or bathhouse for 2-3 days after the procedure.
