Cosmetologist or dentist, who should you go to first?

Lip augmentation has long become a routine and familiar procedure for many. Just a few injections under local anesthesia can improve shape, increase volume, correct asymmetry and even smooth out wrinkles. To perform lip contouring, cosmetologists use drugs called fillers. Most of these products are based on hyaluronic acid, which is safe for the body and preserves the results of the procedure for 6-12 months.

The cost of lip augmentation in Moscow clinics depends on the recognition and status of the institution, the drugs used, and the qualifications of cosmetologists. The average price is about 10-12 thousand rubles, although you can find offers both cheaper and much more expensive.

When compiling a rating of the best lip augmentation clinics in Moscow, we were guided by the reviews that visitors left about them on the sites Yandex.Maps, Google.Maps, Zoon, 2Gis, Otzovik and others.

Why do lips need implants?

The main advantage of solid silicone implants is that they provide lifelong aesthetic results and that they can be removed at will if desired. The same cannot be said about fillers, which dissolve over time, causing the need to resort to the procedure again.

The material from which lip implants are made is designed exclusively for this purpose. Let's give an example. The Permalip implant was registered with the FDA (USA) back in 2004 and was officially approved for use in plastic surgery. Compared to liquid silicone and Gore-Tex, which are used today as permanent lip fillers, there is no risk of post-operative tissue scarring. Moreover, Permalip gives the lips the most natural shape and does not interfere with facial expressions. Implants of this brand are made of the softest silicone. Therefore, they maintain their integrity and do not lose volume over time. Their surface is perfectly smooth, which means that there is no fear of tissue ingrowth and the appearance of the already mentioned scars.

The implant is installed through punctures that the surgeon makes in the corners of the lips. Everything takes about 10-12 minutes. Then the punctures are sutured with special absorbable threads. The consequences in the form of minor swelling and hematomas disappear on their own after 3-4 days.

If for any reason the patient is dissatisfied with the result obtained, the implant installed on him can be easily removed, after which the original shape and size of the lips are restored. Changing an implant to a smaller one or, conversely, a larger one, is much easier than installing it for the first time. A clinic specializing in implant plastic surgery can offer a wide range of implants to choose from, varying in thickness and length, so that the patient can choose the most suitable model.

Not only young people who experience aesthetic discomfort due to insufficient lip volume, but also mature patients whose lips have undergone age-related changes can resort to lip augmentation with silicone implants. It should be noted that implantation of soft silicone is perfectly combined with any other intervention on the lips - for example, with their lifting.

LIP PLASTY / CHEYLOPLASTY

The cost of the procedure is from 42,000 ₽.

LIP PLASTY “BULHORN” Lip plastic surgery is a plastic surgery, one of the types of cheiloplasty.
The name of the procedure comes from the English bull's horn: a small incision in the fold under the nose is shaped like bull's horns. Bulhorn allows you to get a correct and beautiful smile when, at rest, the upper lip exposes the front incisors by 1/3, and when smiling, it opens the teeth of the upper row. The procedure is painless, performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 40 minutes. During the operation, the doctor makes a careful incision under the base of the nose and removes a strip of skin - the one in the shape of a bull's horns. Then he puts stitches. So the distance between the nose and the upper lip is reduced, and its red border turns outward. In this case, only that part of the upper lip that is located under the base of the nose is raised - this improves the shape of the lips as a whole, the upper lip becomes visually more voluminous and seductive. After the procedure, natural lip enlargement is achieved. Bulhorn allows you to avoid unsightly protruding lips, which is often achieved using injection cheiloplasty.

Indications

• An overly thin upper lip or its complete absence;
• The height of the nasolabial triangle is more than 1.5-2 cm;
• Age-related changes that lead to sagging skin;
• Asymmetry, irregular shape;
• Lack of lip volume and clear contour.

Contraindications

• Acute diseases or chronic diseases in the acute stage
• Oncological diseases
• Diabetes
• High intracranial pressure
• Bleeding disorders
• Herpes on the lips in the acute stage
• Infectious diseases
• It is not recommended for women prone to the formation of keloid and hypertrophic scars.
• The nose is too turned up, making the scar very noticeable

Time of operation

30-40 minutes

Anesthesia

Local

Primary rehabilitation (sutures, swelling, hospital).

Hospital: 1-2 hours

Removal of sutures: 7-10 days

Swelling: up to 14 days

Before the scar is completely formed, the skin should not be subjected to any mechanical stress; facial rest, avoidance of spicy foods and open sun are necessary.

How does the operation take place?

Lip subcutaneous implants are presented in the form of strips. The material for them is usually soft silicone or natural materials (our own or from a donor). In general, the intervention is carried out within half an hour. As a rule, local anesthesia is sufficient for this. The doctor makes 4 sections in the corners of the lips, after which, using a special tool, he makes so-called “tunnels”, preparing the place where the implants will be located. The incisions are then closed with a neat cosmetic suture. Patients need to be prepared for the fact that approximately a year after surgery the initial effect will gradually decrease. In this case, the material of the implant does not matter. True, the silicone one can be replaced with a new, more suitable one, and the natural one will dissolve. After the surgery is completed, the doctor will apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

And, nevertheless, everyone who has decided to undergo such an operation should remember that lip augmentation with implants is done only when other correction options are contraindicated for the patient - both surgical and non-surgical.

Preparing for the procedure correctly

• You should not smoke 1.5 months before your scheduled surgery. Quitting cigarettes will speed up the rehabilitation process and minimize the risk of scarring.
• 2 weeks before the procedure, it is necessary to stop taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drugs, as well as vitamins and homeopathy - all of the above can cause increased bleeding.
• Do not forget to replenish the lack of fluid in the body both before and after the intervention. Sufficient drinking regimen will help shorten the rehabilitation period.
• Implantation surgeries are usually performed on an outpatient basis. Therefore, it is advisable to have someone take you home after the procedure and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
