Lip contouring with hyaluronic acid. Recommendations and contraindications

Lip augmentation with filler occurs by introducing hyaluronic acid-based gels under the skin. As a result, the appearance of the skin improves, firmness and elasticity increases, and tissue regeneration processes are stimulated. Indications for lip contouring with fillers:

• insufficient volume by nature or as a result of age-related changes;
• pronounced asymmetry;
• drooping corners of the mouth;
• lack of a clear lip contour.

It is not recommended to perform lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid in the presence of autoimmune, viral, bacterial diseases, inflammation and rashes in the injection area, as well as during pregnancy, lactation, and exacerbation of chronic diseases. Hyaluronic acid is a substance of natural origin, produced by the human body, and therefore does not cause allergic reactions.

Enlarging lips without fear: answers to frequently asked questions

Is contouring a painful procedure? Fear of pain is a natural and normal protective reaction of the body. Lip modeling with “beauty injections” is a painless procedure even for people with a high sensitivity threshold. A cosmetologist will individually select the most effective anesthetic cream/gel. So that the sensations from the injections of the already thinnest needle will be limited to a slight tingling sensation.

Unsatisfactory result . The fear of being one of the “lucky” owners of huge, shapeless lips is absolutely groundless. A qualified, experienced doctor will perform the procedure carefully, taking into account individual wishes for the final result. After augmentation, the shape of the lips turns out to be aesthetically attractive, the contour is smooth, and the volume is captivating and sexy.

Long recovery period . Many women are afraid of losing their attractiveness even for a few days. Fear of swelling, hematomas and other unaesthetic consequences of lip modeling is unfounded. Lips take on a seductive shape already in the doctor’s office and remain that way for a long time; you just need to follow the basic recommendations of the cosmetologist for a couple of days.

Short-term effect. Lip augmentation in a reputable medical center is an affordable, but not cheap, procedure. It is not surprising that patients are concerned about the duration of the results obtained. Stabilized hyaluronic acid preparations are destroyed slowly, and therefore the achieved effect lasts up to 12 months or longer. The acquired volume and shape are lost gradually, unnoticed by others. If repeated procedures are carried out in a timely manner, the desired appearance of the lips can be maintained constantly.

High cost of the procedure. The question of how much it costs to enlarge lips worries every second woman. It is worth noting that the popular procedure is becoming more and more accessible, and today its price varies between 17,000 - 23,000 rubles. You can find out the exact cost at a consultation with a cosmetologist at the Moscow Center for Aesthetic Medicine Soho Clinic.

How does the procedure work?

Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is performed on an outpatient basis, does not require preliminary preparation, and takes up to 40 minutes. After applying the anesthetic cream, the doctor, using a disposable syringe with a microneedle, injects the drug into the lips and distributes it with massage movements. The effect is noticeable immediately and lasts for 6-13 months - full, moist, clearly defined lips. In some cases, there is slight swelling in the correction area, which goes away within 1-2 days.

Cheiloplasty

Everyone knows that beauty is the key to self-confidence. And lips play a significant role in the perception of a person’s appearance, and according to psychologists, lips are the first thing people pay attention to. A beautiful lip shape always makes the most pleasant impression and is one of the important factors in the attractiveness and harmonious beauty of the face.

Cheiloplasty is an operation that transforms the lips. With its help, you can rejuvenate, change the shape or volume of your lips, and also eliminate defects. The operation is considered low-traumatic, and the results last for many years. There are several types and methods of this operation; the choice of method depends on the purpose and desired result.

Types of cheiloplasty

Bullhorn is an operation that allows you to solve two problems at once. It got its name because of the resemblance to bull's horns of the flap of skin removed under the nose area. (“Bullhorn” translated from English as “bull horns”) As a result of the operation, the distance between the nose and upper lip decreases, which often increases with age, and is often large by nature. The volume of the upper lip also increases slightly, which gives it greater plumpness and sensuality .

VY - plastic surgery - an operation that improves the shape and volume of the lips forever, while achieving an absolutely natural look, and no one will guess that you have had plastic surgery - the sutures are located on the mucous membrane, from the inside. With the help of VY -plasty, you can make the “Cupid's pit” more pronounced, add volume to the side slopes of the lips, or enlarge the middle part of the lips - this depends on the number of incisions.

Reasons for cheiloplasty:

• Upper lip too thin
• Large distance between the nose and the edge of the upper lip
• Upper teeth are not visible when speaking
• Asymmetry
• Insufficient lip volume
• Signs of aging lips
• Consequences of injuries

The operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts 30-40 minutes. During the Bullhorn operation, the doctor excises a wavy strip of tissue 4-8 mm wide. in the area under the nose, and then stitches the incision, creating a thin seam that is located directly under the nostrils, so when the seam heals and brightens, it becomes invisible. If VY-plasty surgery is performed, the doctor makes incisions in the shape of the letter “V” on the inside of the lip, and after suturing the incisions take the shape of the letter “Y”.

Rehabilitation period:

• The patient remains in the clinic under the supervision of a doctor for 1 day.
• Sutures are removed 7–10 days after surgery.
• The total duration of the rehabilitation period is 2 – 3 weeks.
