As part of the “Wday Tests” rubric, we have to test not only cosmetics, but also popular procedures. Beauty injections today are such a common and affordable thing that more and more girls decide to resort to the help of a beautician. However, it is worth taking a responsible approach to this issue. The Woman’s Day correspondent has experienced a lip augmentation procedure herself and shares invaluable experience with you.
According to statistics, every fifth resident of Moscow has enlarged her lips at least once in her life. And how many of the fair sex throughout Russia have done or are planning to carry out lip correction ?!
If you have decided on a popular procedure, prepare well, and not only mentally. Study the issue from all sides, find out what the consequences may be, sort out the drugs and conduct a hard casting among cosmetologists.
Unfortunately, not everyone understands the nuances, in a hurry to see the result, but in vain! With the face, jokes are bad, there is every chance to stock up on complexes for a whole year until the drug dissolves. As they say, everything would be so simple if it were not so difficult, but it is better to spend time looking for a good cosmetologist and trust a real professional with peace of mind.
To protect you from unnecessary mistakes, I will tell you about my personal experience of lip augmentation using Juvederm ultra 3. I hope to thereby answer the most common questions.
I did not dare to have the procedure for several years for various reasons: firstly, I liked my lip shape, and I was afraid to spoil the proportions of my face. Secondly, I have never been to a beautician’s office, did not understand and did not delve into their work at all! As long as age allows you to bypass them, you have to bypass, I thought. And in general, I have always been for the girls, as much as they could, to enjoy the natural beauty and not change anything in their appearance.
After a while, my opinion changed. I looked at my face in the mirror and thought that there was not enough full lips to my large features. By that time, in my inner circle, three people regularly enlarged their lips. I liked the result. Then I started looking for a good beautician. It was important that the master did not overdo it with volume and gave the most natural result.
But at what price to focus on, I did not know, like that, should I necessarily go to a specialized clinic or a cosmetology office is enough? As a result, after consulting with experts in the beauty industry, cosmetologists and just girls who have already gone through all this, I realized that this is a lottery, in which you either get lucky or not.
The main thing is to study in detail the portfolio of the beautician you have chosen. I considered both well-known specialists in this field, who, for example, are actively advertised by stars, and those who are much less popular. The price for their services, of course, is also noticeably different, but nevertheless they all work on the same drugs.
I chose the average cost of 10 thousand rubles for a volume of 1 cubic meter, but it was not the price that hooked me more, but a bunch of positive reviews about the cosmetologist Yulia Zvyagina and the quality of her work. This was the case when you flip through a portfolio and absolutely love all the work. In addition, he is a cosmetologist with a real diploma, which is very important in our time, and a bunch of certificates. She works exclusively on the drug «Juvederm»which purchases strictly from the company Allergan (official representative of Juvederm, Surgiderm, Botox and others in Russia).
Delivery is carried out by the company A410, which guarantees the quality of storage of medical products during transportation.
“The hyaluronic acid in Allergan fillers is obtained only from non-animal material, and the unique 3D-Matrix technology, patented in the USA, makes the preparations really effective: they have increased durability. In addition, hyaluronic acid fillers are rigorously tested for hypoallergenicity and are internationally certified. FDA… These are luxury drugs, and they are not cheap, ”my cosmetologist told me.
Reality: the procedure itself takes only a few minutes. I was told that it hurts insanely! When the drug is injected, the lips seem to be torn from the inside, in the meantime you are already in a light-headed state. In general, as you already understood, I was preparing for the worst. In fact, it was not at all like that.
Yes, it hurts, but quite bearable, I was pleasantly surprised. Although the cosmetologist later told me that this is not really a story, just because of poor-quality drugs, patients can really experience severe pain and even lose consciousness. So I felt sincerely sorry for some of my acquaintances, who, as it turned out, did not exaggerate their story.
Lips look amazing right after the procedure! I did them during the day, so by the evening the swelling began. The next morning it was at its maximum, and on the third day it began to decline. There were also some bruises, Julia immediately named the places in which they would appear, and got to the point!
My fantastic view of huge, asymmetrical blue lips lasted as it should be for a week. And on the fourth day the view was already very nice. When the swelling finally subsides, it seems that you did nothing at all, as you get used to the immense size in a week. Many girls immediately run to add volume, and I believe that the main thing in this matter is not to overdo it! Better study old pictures and see the difference. Remember that you only need to emphasize your beauty, not reshape.
