Since ancient times, women have sought to highlight the lips, using various tricks and cosmetic tricks. The ancient Egyptians painted their lips with poisonous mixtures, risking their lives to achieve a purple color. The ancient Romans and Greeks did not lag behind them, inventing lipsticks that gave the lips brightness and swelling due to an allergic reaction. It can be said that this was the first attempt to change and embellish natural data. The procedure, which in the 20th century will be called nothing more than "". Attitudes towards lipstick have changed over the centuries. She was either recognized as a symbol of fallen women in the Middle Ages, then she returned to the boudoirs of rich ladies during the Renaissance, then again she was persecuted in the Victorian era. The end of the 19th century and the times of silent films finally rehabilitate the fashion for beautiful lips, and the cosmetic industry begins its parade.

Modern standards of beautiful lips use the ideal proportions of the "golden section" of Leonardo da Vinci. Not only the lines of the face themselves, but also the shape of the lips, their size and the relationship between them are crucial for the harmony of facial features.Lip correction with fillers performed by a highly qualified cosmetologist, turns nondescript lips into seductive honey lips.

It turns out that the structure of the lips has its own subtleties. A professional cosmetologist operates with various terms that are known only to those initiated into the secret called “lip contouring”. So, we reveal the secrets of perfect lips. The upper lip has a longitudinal groove called a filtrum. The edges of the filtrum in the form of two vertical grooves are called filtrum columns. The smooth curve of the upper lip was called Cupid's bow by the ancient Greeks.Lip correction with fillers performed by a professional cosmetologist requires indispensable compliance with the anatomy of the lips, taking into account naturalness and harmony.

What are the benefits of lip correction with fillers?

Lip correction by a cosmetologist solves several problems in one procedure. The introduction of the filler not only corrects the natural imperfections of the shape and size of the lips, but also erases the traces of age as if by magic. The lips become more expressive, wrinkles disappear, Mona Lisa's smile lurks in the corners of the lips.

The main fillers or, speaking professionally, fillers, are preparations of hyaluronic acid. These are injectable preparations that are fully compatible with the human body.Lip correction with hyaluronic acid does not cause an allergic reaction, and the effect of its application is instantaneous. A slight swelling around the lips disappears within two to three days. Hyaluronic acid fillers are produced under various brands. The main differences between them are in density, duration and percentage of hyaluronic acid. These indicators affect the price of the drug and, accordingly, the cost of the procedure.

Choice of drug forCorrection of the shape and volume of the lips is carried out by the doctor together with the patient. The cosmetologist gives his opinion in the form of a scheme of the procedure and the predicted result, informs about possible complications, consequences and contraindications. Lip contouring is a procedure performed under local anesthesia and takes from five minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the task. The cosmetologist injects the filler with the thinnest needle according to a predetermined scheme, immediately after the injection, massaging the tissues in a certain way to evenly distribute the drug under the skin. Sometimes a second injection is required within the same procedure.

Immediately after the procedure, tingling or discomfort in the lip area may occur. There may be slight swelling and bluing around the lips.Lip correction with fillers sometimes causes a violation of facial expressions. The beautician should warn the patient that the discomfort will completely disappear two weeks after the procedure. If a second injection is required, then lip correction with fillers is carried out six weeks after the first procedure. In general, lip contouring retains the effect for up to six months, sometimes longer, depending on the specific drug and the individual characteristics of the patient.

Basically, patients of cosmetologists, whose specialization is tolip correction, are satisfied with the results and repeat the procedure after a certain time. However, despite the declared safety, lip contouring can have complications. They are extremely rare, but with an unskilled approach by a doctor and the use of an uncertified drug, they still happen. There are cosmetic clinics that specialize in correcting complications after unsuccessful lip correction with fillers. The doctors of these clinics talk about the wrong approach to injections and its consequences.

Possible complications after lip contouring

With the introduction of an excess amount of the drug, there is a risk of getting "pumped" lips that look repulsive. This is an absolute mistake of the doctor or excessive perseverance of the patient with a lack of a sense of proportion.

Lips "duck" - also a consequence of a violation of the protocol, the use of the filler for other purposes and the low qualification of the doctor. Both effects can be corrected by introducing a special enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.

Violation of the proportions of the lips, for example, if the upper lip is excessively large relative to the lower one, is a common doctor's mistake. Ideally, the upper lip should be one third of the volume of the lower lip, then toCorrection of the shape of the lips with fillers looks harmonious.

Violation of the shape of the lips, smoothed Cupid's arch, uneven edge of the lips, overly rounded lips - this is a list of possible complications with an unskilled doctor's approach. Such lips look ugly and vulgar.

The eversion of the mucous border is not only an unaesthetic sight, but also a health hazard - the mucous membrane dries up, cracks, inflammations form, which threaten to go to the oral cavity in the form of stomatitis.

Lip correction with non-professional performance leads to another complication - lip asymmetry, visible to the naked eye. The patient is forced to turn to the beautician again, spending extra money, time and nerves.

A lot has been said about how to avoid such complications that disfigure the patient's appearance. We repeat: you need to contact only a trusted reliable doctor who has a manufacturer's certificate for carrying out procedures. It is also important to make sure that the drug is opened in front of the patient, showing the expiration date and the name of the filler.

Lip contouring up to a certain age can serve as a worthy alternative to surgical intervention, prolonging youth and correcting natural appearance flaws. With a qualified doctor's approach toLip correction with fillers gives a beautiful result and makes the face harmonious and proportional, drawing attention to such a seductive part of it - the lips.

Ask a question to the doctor

For the past few centuries, the beauty industry has been trying to answer the question of how to preserve a woman's beauty without harming her health. The safest and most effective methods of preserving the oval of the face, getting rid of wrinkles and giving elasticity to the skin are constantly emerging. One of the latest achievements of scientists in this direction are fillers involved in lip augmentation.

What's this?

Fillers are preparations of plant or animal origin, injected into the lips to increase their volume and give the desired shape. Botox, hyaluronic acid, synthetic additives, fats, etc. can act as such a tool.

Lip augmentation with fillers is carried out in different situations:

• to lift the corners of the lips;
• to give a beautiful shape to the nasolabial fold;
• to increase volume after an injury.

Varieties of funds

Filler- a gel-like preparation used to fill cosmetic injections. The word itself comes from the English "to fill", meaning "to fill". The use of these preparations is considered to be a unique replacement for contour surgical plastic surgery of the face, since they are able to eliminate wrinkles of any size, even out the skin of the face, and change the shape of the lips. You can verify this by looking at the photos before and after the procedure.

Depending on their duration of action, drugs are divided into three categories:

Synthetic- made on the basis of silicone, which has undergone a deep degree of cleaning. After injections, they remain at the injection site for several years. Among their advantages, affordable cost can be noted, but possible allergic reactions, pigmentation and inflammation act as a disadvantage. If the drug is displaced from the injection site, it can only be removed surgically.

Biocompatible drugs are also divided into three subspecies:

Combined drugs - consist of biological and synthetic components. They stay much longer on the lips and other parts of the body. Examples before and after the enlargement procedure can be seen in the photo.

Popular modern drugs - fillers

Modern lip fillers are most often used from the category based on hyaluronic acid. The most common of them are:

Contraindications to drugs and possible complications

Specialists are not advised to influence the body, including lips, if a woman is sick with cancer, blood diseases and a systemic illness of connective matter. Other contraindications include epilepsy, a recent infectious disease, pregnancy and lactation. If there are redness and rashes in the area of ​​​​the lips, the procedure should be postponed.

Most common complication that occurs when there are fillers in the lips during the first week, are an allergic reaction, hematomas and hyperemia. An example of such complications are photos on the Internet, reflecting the condition before and after the lip augmentation procedure. Puffiness after changing the contour of the lips is formed very often, but disappears within a few days.

More distant complications are the formation of seals, age spots, gel migration, the development of infection. Very rarely, vascular ischemia and vascular occlusion occur. If you do not pay attention to the problem, necrosis with scarring of the tissues can develop.

Advantages and disadvantages of using fillers

Like any cosmetic procedure, the introduction of this drug has its pros and cons.

Among the undoubted advantages I would like to highlight:

Disadvantages of using fillers:

1. Short term effect. The safest lip products based on hyaluronic acid are characterized by a period of action of up to six months, and then the session must be repeated.
2. Silicone preparations for lip augmentation are distinguished by multiple side effects, in particular, frequent migration and permanent retention under the skin. You can see the possible changes in the photo before and after the procedure.
3. The use is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation, the presence of chronic diseases in an acute form, inflammation on the lips and other places for the administration of the drug.

What is the difference between Botox, Mesotherapy or Filling?

Each of these procedures is a "beauty injection" aimed at eliminating the shortcomings of the skin and lips, however, the mechanism of preparation before the procedure and the action after it differ.

Fillers for contouring

Botox is a tool that breaks the connection between the nerve and the muscle, and therefore mimic wrinkles gradually begin to smooth out. The injection procedure is single, and the result can be seen immediately. This technique only helps to smooth the skin without changing its condition.

Mesotherapy used to improve the condition of the epidermis and increase its tone. The process is a subcutaneous injection of a "cocktail" of various active elements. They help strengthen and narrow blood vessels, including those on the lips, and improve microcirculation. This technique affects the skin with ten sessions with a break of a week, but the effect lasts a very long time.

Filling- is considered a kind of intermediate solution. Fillers do not affect the functioning of the muscles, but they have a beneficial effect on the condition of the epidermis and smooth out wrinkles, including those above the lips. The result will become noticeable after a week, when the puffiness subsides. One of the main conditions for the high-quality administration of the drug is the choice of a good clinic and doctor. The clinic must have certificates allowing work in this area, and cosmetologists must have a professional medical education.

Lip augmentation by contour plastics is the most popular beauty procedure. Clinics and medical centers vying with each other offer the “Mona Lisa smile”, “ french lips» and sexy lips.

Indeed, the procedure takes literally 40 minutes of time, makes the face sensual, rejuvenates and beautifies. The introduction of a filler into the lips allows you to restore youthful fullness and a clear contour of the lips that have been lost with age, make thin lips more expressive, and remove wrinkles around the lips.

At first glance, the scheme is very simple: a small amount of a substance is injected into the lips, which, getting under the skin, begins to hold water molecules around itself, as a result of which the lips puff up, become juicy and seductive. Beauty! You inject the drug - and wait for an excellent result.

But only on one condition. The procedure must be performed by a professional of the highest class. Contouring of the face and lips only seems to be a simple matter. Practice shows that otherwise the result will please only your worst enemies.

For many years, we at the Platinental Medical Center have been doing not only beautiful lip contouring. We are approached every day to correct the mistakes of others. Today we share this "black list" - in the hope that it will save you from disappointment and tears due to the rash choice of doctor and drug.

Hit parade of horror stories for adult girls

So, here are the most common problems that unsuccessfully performed lip plastic surgery leads to.

1. Lips are bigger than you wanted.

Have you dreamed about the plump lips of Angelina Jolie, but got the lips of Pamela Anderson? Alas, you have been injected with an excess amount of gel.

Amanda Lepore, freak. "Pumped" lips look about the same on all types of faces - too unnatural to be taken seriously by their owner.

If this is a modern drug based on hyaluronic acid, then you should not be very upset. Within a year, hyaluronic acid will dissolve itself, and the lips will return to their natural shape. However, if the image of the "rescuer of Malibu" is not to your liking - come. With special Spanish enzymes, we will delicately eliminate the excess of the drug, keeping the volume in the right places.

2. The harmonious proportions of the face are violated

A very common mistake. To see this, watch the opening of any film festival or other event that the beau monde is going to. Most age actresses do lip contouring - this is a fact.

In one actress, “pumped” lips are perceived separately from the face as something completely foreign. And for someone, the correction is completely invisible - for example, for Dami Moore. She's always had string lips. And now they do not stand out on the face with their fullness. But look how perfectly they harmonize with the rest of the facial features.

Dami Moore is one of the few who doesn't "pump" her naturally thin lips. Despite the use of contouring, her lips look natural and young. Perhaps this is the best example of the good taste of a beautician and his patient.

If, unlike Dami, you made a mistake, it makes sense to correct it and return your lips to a proportional look.

If the harmony of the features is broken, the face is not perceived as beautiful.. In order to avoid the effect of other people's lips, a specialist in contour plastics needs to know in detail the structure of the face and its proportions, the laws of harmony, and also take into account several dozen structural features of the lips themselves, their age, balance in the upper and lower lips, their symmetry with the left and right sides.

For example, at Platinental, we use 13 criteria to create an irresistible smile. All of them are carefully considered every time before the procedure - individually for each patient.

Adequacy test: do you still think extreme lip size is beautiful?

3. Violation of the correct volume of the lips

Lips seem beautiful to us not when they are just equally large, but when they meet certain criteria. It is very important that the lower lip in profile be plumper than the upper lip.

If this is not so, then there is no need to talk about beauty. And here it doesn’t matter: they are the same or the upper lip is plumper than the lower one. The ideal ratio of the size of the upper and lower lips is 1/3 to 2/3. This is the golden ratio, which was described in his works by Leonardo Da Vinci and which every self-respecting specialist in contour plastic strives for in his works.

4. Destruction of the delicate anatomy of the lips

When a child draws a beautiful princess, he most often carefully draws her lips with a heart: the upper one is in the shape of an onion, the lower one is plump. A child will never draw two identical sausages instead of lips for a princess. And he is absolutely right.

The human upper lip has a complex structure. It necessarily has a vertical groove (filtrum). At the point of transition to the red border, the filtrum forms a labial tubercle. Two smoothly curved ridges of skin along the edges of the groove are called filtrum columns.

The border between the skin and the red border of the lips, as a rule, is curved like a bow. Romantic ancient Greeks, well-known connoisseurs of beauty, compared the shape of the beauty's lips with Cupid's bow, and this name has survived to this day. There is also an arch of Cupid - the central part of the upper lip.

In order for the lips to be beautiful, all this delicate anatomy must be carefully preserved. If, during contouring, an excess of the drug is injected, then the natural outlines of the lips disappear - and we see just two plump pancakes that can cause delight only in the hungry.

Beautiful lips are:

• Cupid's well-defined bow.
• Clear filtrum columns.
• A well-defined red border of the lips, emphasizing the curves.
• Smooth skin between nose and upper lip.
• The distance from the base of the nose to the upper lip is less than 2 cm.
• The Mona Lisa crease (a smile hidden in the corners of the lips) even at rest.
• The lower lip is 1.5 times fuller than the upper one.
• The most protruding point in the profile of the upper lip protrudes forward relative to the analogous point on the lower lip.
• An angle is clearly visible between the upper and lower lip at rest.
• Ricketts line (Riccets E-line) - a straight line that runs from the tip of the nose to the protruding point of the chin, runs at a distance of 4 mm from the upper lip and 2 mm from the lower lip.
• At rest, the upper lip opens the tips of the teeth.

As you can see, beauty has many parameters and subtle nuances. And if you evaluate the beauty of the lips only by one of them - by size - this betrays provinciality with a head. Wearing “dumplings” on your face is as bad form as appearing in public with nails extended and painted under Khokhloma.

5. Eversion of the lips

If the excess filler was injected from the side of the lip mucosa, there is a risk of getting the eversion of the lip. In this case, the inner mucous surface of the lips becomes visible, which should only be in contact with the teeth.

Jackie Stallone is the famous mother of her son, Sylvester Stallone. Eversion of the lips as a result of the introduction of an excess amount of artificial gel.

Try to do this procedure in front of a mirror - twist your lip a little. See? The hue of the mucous membrane is light, it differs from the bright color of the lips. Therefore, any eversion is very noticeable. It is hardly possible to talk about the beauty of the lips in this case. But the beauty here is not even the worst thing.

Everted mucosa is not intended to come into contact with air. Drying, it becomes covered with cracks that become inflamed. If nothing is done, stomatitis develops (inflammation of the entire oral cavity) and cheilitis (inflammation and severe peeling of the lips).

6. Asymmetry

If not the same amount of the drug is injected into the lips, then asymmetry occurs: for example, the right side of the upper lip becomes larger than the left. This is one of the common mistakes in non-professional plastic surgery.

Pamela's bewitching charm and her open smile make this defect invisible. However, there is a clear asymmetry of Pam's lips, which appeared after their increase.

7. "Duck mouth"

famous " duck mouth”is also the result of a medical error. Appears when an excess amount of the drug is injected into the skin of the upper lip at a young age.

As a result, the gel partially migrates, the upper lip swells, becomes longer, and really begins to resemble a duck's beak.

8. Dropping the corners of the lips

"One wrong move and you're a father." The same phrase very accurately conveys the features of contour plastics. Two wrong movements with a syringe in the corners of the lips - and you literally become 10 years older in 30 seconds.

Have you ever wondered why celebrities always smile? Perhaps only Victoria Beckham allows herself to walk along the Red carpet without a smile.

In addition to showing friendliness, a smile is very good at hiding the corners of the lips and low cheekbones that have drooped with age.

This is not an exaggeration. One of the clearest signs of a "woman after 40" is the lowered corners of the mouth. This facial expression has nothing to do with a bad mood. Drooping lips are as obvious a sign of age as nasolabial folds and bags under the eyes.

But unlike a bad contour specialist, a good specialist will make every effort to lift the corners of your lips. Like this:

A good doctor will definitely make your face more attractive by turning the corners of your lips up.

With a superficial and uneven injection of the gel at the border of the red border and the mucous membrane, it leads to the appearance of a wavy edge of the lips.

10. Inflammation

Inflammation on the lips can occur if the rules of sterility are violated during and after the procedure.

However, the doctor is not always to blame for this problem. Very often, patients ignore care recommendations and do not follow the regimen prescribed by the doctor. The lips after contour plastics are easily affected by the sun's rays, too hot air in the bath and sauna, and non-compliance with the rules of hygiene.

11. Lip deformation

If earlier we spoke exclusively about the unprofessionalism of a doctor, now is the time to recall that “not all yogurts are equally useful”, and fillers are different.

There are a number of problems associated with the introduction of the "wrong" drug. Permanent fillers (PAAG and silicone-based gels) do not dissolve. It would seem that this can only be dreamed of. What's better than beautiful lips for life? But in reality, everything turns out to be far from the case.

Once under the skin, permanent fillers over time:

• migrate, which leads to deformation of the lips,
• cause inflammation and swelling
• lead to education scars,
• come into conflict both with each other and with the tissues of the body, which is fraught with absolutely terrible consequences.

We wholeheartedly advise you not to experiment with your own health with dubious cosmetologists. Low drug prices should not please, but alert: no one will work at a loss, so what are we saving on? Most often, unfortunately, on the qualifications of doctors and drugs. And then the question, how much does lip contouring cost, turns into a question: how to live with what they did to me, and how much does it cost to fix everything?

We are engaged in correcting the consequences of unsuccessful contouring on a daily basis:

We perform every day ,

We excise granulomas and oleomas,

Modeling the shape of the lips

We spend lip plastic surgery,

Excising scar tissue

We eliminate excess filler with special Spanish enzymes,

Full, soft lips with a beautifully curved contour always attract attention to their owners. However, nature rarely endows women with ideal features. Modern plastic cosmetology can come to the rescue. The safest and most effective way is to use hyaluronic acid fillers. Let's consider this method in more detail.

In cosmetology, a filler is a special drug that acts as a filler for injections. Their composition is different, more often gel-like. Their use ideally replaces the surgical method of correction. The effect lasts from 2 months to several years. The cosmetic procedure helps to increase volume, change the shape and contour, eliminate fine and deep wrinkles, and even out skin turgor.

All drugs used in the correction are divided into 3 groups:

1. The most affordable, but not entirely safe synthetic fillers. They are based on purified silicone, polylactic acid or polyacrylamide gels. They often cause allergic reactions due to their high toxicity. One of the consequences is also that they are able to move from the injection site to the side. Correction of the situation is possible only with the help of surgical intervention. The effect lasts up to 2-3 years.

2. The biocompatible injectable formulation features natural and natural ingredients. The most common use of hyaluronic acid. After its introduction, the skin begins to intensively produce its own collagen. It is well tolerated by the body, has practically no negative consequences and contraindications. However, it quickly resolves, which requires a more frequent repetition of the procedure. Biocompatible drugs also include autofillers. They are based on human tissues (fibroblasts, fatty layers, collagen). They are commonly used in plastic surgical correction.

3. Combined include both synthetic and biological fillers. They are less toxic but more effective. After the introduction, the synthetic part gives volume and fills wrinkles, and the biological components provoke the production of their own collagen. The effect can be observed almost immediately after the correction.

Existing contraindications and indications

A disproportionate shape or size, the formation of wrinkles, a dystrophic appearance of the skin, the presence of scars or scars, a blurry arch - all this can cause you to turn to a cosmetologist for lip augmentation with fillers. The risk and consequences depend on the drug, but despite choosing the most expensive option, there are a number of contraindications:

• Age. Before reaching the age of majority, an increase in hyaluronic acid is possible only with the written consent of the parents or legal guardians.
• Diseases of the immune system.
• Individual specific reaction to one or another component.
• Metabolic diseases, in particular diabetes mellitus.
• Frequent occurrence of a cold.
• Pregnancy and the period of breastfeeding.
• During the period of infectious diseases with fever.
• The presence of wounds or cracks.

Any cosmetologist, before proceeding with the procedure, must collect an anamnesis. Find out possible contraindications and allergic reactions. The best option would be to conduct a preliminary test for the selected composition.

Patient reviews

“I consider my lips thin, although such proportions are considered ideal. To begin with, to dispel doubts, I recommend starting with a minimum dose of 1 ml of hyaluronic acid. I chose Uviderm. After a little swelling, I slept quickly. The first few days are very dry, you need to apply a moisturizing balm. But a week later everything was back to normal. The anesthesia is good, the effect is enough for a couple of months for sure, I will do more.

Xenia, Rostov-on-Don.

“My upper part is slightly larger than the lower one. I decided to remove this asymmetry. I found a good beautician, this is important. I chose the Juvederm 3 filler with a volume of 1 ml. You can do it without prior anesthesia, but I did not dare. I was satisfied with the effect of the correction. Only the next day after the lip augmentation did bruises appear from the injections, they took place for a week. I went for the 2nd procedure six months later.

Alevtina, Moscow.

“I succumbed to the fashion trend and the desire for spring updates, since the very shape of my lips is voluminous. I love trying new things. The beautician advised Juvederm Ultra Smile 0.55 with anesthesia. At first I did not feel pain, and then I almost lost consciousness. I even had to use ammonia. The result was much more than I had planned. And massage after injections with hyaluronic acid is just torture. For almost 2 weeks I was walking around with terrible swelling and bruising, hiding my mouth in a scarf. I do not plan to repeat this experiment."

Oksana, Krasnodar.

“I am very meticulous when it comes to cosmetic procedures. I chose a beautician for a long time, reading reviews. I have naturally very thin lips. And so I decided to increase them with fillers. Injected me with Princess Volume 1 ml and anesthesia with Emla. I have very sensitive skin and swelling arose almost immediately, I was advised Troxevasin ointment. After 4 months, I came again, because I liked the result.

Angelica, St. Petersburg.

“My mother is a cosmetologist, so I am well versed in various preparations and I chose Surgiderm 30xp, since its price is affordable. The injections themselves were felt, there was even short-term bleeding. But this largely depends on the experience of the specialist himself. After 2 days, slight swelling and bruising were gone, but the lips were sore. I was able to enjoy the result only after a week. I liked it, but have not yet decided if I will go again. ”

Svetlana, Moscow region.

A simple operation - lip correction gives an immediately visible effect. The lips acquire a seductive swelling, while manipulation allows you to raise the cheeks and corners of the mouth, which is why this technique is very popular among girls and women.

Pros and cons of plastic surgery on the lips (without a scalpel)

The mouth becomes plump due to the introduction of a special filler under the skin. For the most part, (the so-called preparations for correction) are composed of hyaluronic acid, known for its miraculous properties:

• moisturizing the skin and retaining moisture in it;
• the absence of rejection after the administration of drugs based on HA;
• minimizing the manifestation of allergy to administered drugs.

The "minus" of hyaluronic acid is a relatively short-lived effect that lasts 8 months - a year.

This is due to the biodegradation of the acid: during this period it breaks down and is completely removed from the body. Therefore, over time, patients of clinics and salons need to repeat the procedures.

Filler features (5 leaders)

Leading positions are occupied by some preparations with hyaluronic acid:

1. Restylane Lipp (Sweden).
2. Juvederm Ultra Smile, Juvederm Ultra 4, Juvederm 30, Juvederm 30 HV (USA).
3. Princess Filler, Princess Volume (Austria).
4. Surgilips (France).
5. Teosyal Kiss (Switzerland).

Polylactic acid preparations that can change the shape and volume of the lips and eliminate asymmetry also act as fillers. The basis of the process is the stimulation of collagen synthesis and cell regeneration.

Collagen also acts as a filler. This is a natural component, because of which, as in the case of hyaluronic acid, there is no rejection by the body and manifestations of allergies.

Like HA, collagen is resorbable. In addition, the procedure with it is expensive.

They are used for lip correction and fillers based on acrylic, liquid silicone, and other synthetic substances. You should know that polymer gels are not harmless, because they do not dissolve and provoke a significant number of complications.

There are many cases when even after some time such gels begin to migrate. They are removed surgically.

Who needs lip correction?

A simple and effective procedure can be used by both sexes at different ages who are unhappy with the appearance of their lips.

INDICATIONS

• thin lips due to insufficient volume;
• asymmetrical look;
• dryness, roughness of the lips;
• downturned corners of the mouth;
• wrinkles and folds around it.

But the desire to acquire an attractive lip shape with “beauty injections” is limited by contraindications.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. oncological diseases;
2. diseases and impaired blood clotting;
3. epilepsy;
4. herpes;
5. diabetes;
6. allergy to filler ingredients;
7. predisposition to scarring.

Pregnant and lactating mothers will have to forget about the injection procedure for a while.

Experts do not advise applying for manipulation after the procedure. And the cosmetologist will repeat the procedure at intervals associated with the characteristics of the previously used filler.

#2 other types of lip correction

There are other options for lip correction (in addition to contouring):

1. They are able to improve their contour and volume, remove wrinkles. Cosmetic material after getting under the skin stimulates the synthesis of collagen, but is destroyed by itself in the body after 6-8 months. There are few contraindications to the procedure with threads; it is compatible with other manipulations.
2. . The adipose tissue of the patient is used for correction. The necessary amount of pumped out fat is transplanted into the mouth, the biomaterial is not rejected by the body and does not manifest itself in complications. Manipulation is combined with liposuction. The fat pumped out from the problem area after special treatment is injected into the mouth.

What type of contour correction to offer, the doctor decides together with the individual patient. The consultation takes into account the individual characteristics and wishes of the person applying for the procedure.

The duration of the effect of various methods

Going to the beautician, it is not superfluous to know how long the plumpness on the lips lasts. It depends on the chosen filler, the method and the professionalism of the doctor.

• Means with hyaluronic acid retain the resulting volume for up to a year.
• Compositions based on polylactic acid will “give” the desired fullness to the lips in 10-20 days from filling with the gel and will keep it for more than 2 years.
• Correction with mesothreads gives a positive result lasting 1.5-2 years.
• Plastic surgery with fat leaves plump lips for up to a year.
• Liquid silicone, acrylic, polymer gels turn lips into expressive and sensual for a long time, but have a lot of side effects.

In order not to be disappointed at the end of the correctional event, you need to trust the professionals, and not the "left" masters.

Performing lip contouring

The event is being carried out in stages. The preparation includes:

• cessation for a week of taking medications - anticoagulants that affect the ability of blood to clot;
• sessions (in 7 days) of the antiherpetic direction with the preparations "Valtrex", "Acyclovir", etc.;
• testing the body for susceptibility to filler ingredients - hyaluronic acid, etc .;
• exclusion a day before the procedure for drinking alcoholic beverages and reducing physical activity.

The direct execution of the correction begins with the treatment of the intervention area with an antiseptic and anesthetic.

The filler is injected with a thin needle - this minimizes pain and evenly distributes the gel. The needle penetrates under the skin to a depth of 2-4 mm.

At the end of the procedure, the doctor gently and without pressure massages the lips so that the injected filler is evenly distributed.

The duration of the procedure is 30-60 minutes. Doctors advise to make a correction no earlier than 20-25 years, giving the lips a natural swelling.

On the following day, after the completion of injection cheiloplasty, it is worth limiting facial expressions in the oral region.

Returning home after the completed event, you need to put ice cubes on your lips. The method will quickly remove swelling and possible pain.

In addition, you should follow these rules:

1. For a while, it is worth forgetting about the smile and mouth movements so that the drug does not shift.
2. The use of any creams and cosmetics is prohibited - their reaction with the gel often ends in unpleasant consequences.
