The result is amazing: real photos of women before and after lip augmentation
Girls always want to be irresistible, for this they resort to the services of cosmetologists and not only.
One of the procedures that allows you to quickly increase your attractiveness, give harmony to facial features, add femininity and softness is lip contouring… An expert, a cosmetologist-dermatovenerologist at the Clinic 360 | Cosmetology, Irina Filimonenko, told us more about her.
Lip contouring is one of the most demanded procedures in cosmetology. Very often, patients first come to a cosmetologist for this particular procedure. But after all, it is so difficult to find your doctor, who is not only skillful with the needle, who knows and practices modern techniques, but also with whom you will have the same aesthetic views on the final result, who knows how to stop the patient from further corrections in time. Finding someone you can trust is important.
The trends of modern cosmetology are naturalness and naturalness. Good work of a beautician is not visible to others, your friends and colleagues will only note that you look better and more attractive. So don’t be afraid. A competent specialist who is constantly developing, improving and owning an aesthetic taste, will never make lips – “ducks”, “dumplings”, huge unnatural cheekbones, long chins – all this is left in the past and among specialists who do not want to change something in their work and develop a sense of beauty.
What drugs are there and which one is better to choose?
1. Juvederm Volift (France) – this drug is available in 1 ml and 0,55 ml volumes (Juvederm Volift Retouch), which is very convenient for those patients who want a minimal natural correction or “refresh” the shape. The drug contains lidocaine, which makes the procedure quite comfortable and painless. The manufacturer of this drug is Allergan, their fillers have been presented for more than 15 years on the world market, have an FDA safety certificate and are certified in Russia. These formulations are some of my favorites for lip contouring and lip contouring. The drugs of the modern line are very plastic, but they retain their shape well, fit perfectly into the tissue and are not felt by patients in the future.
2. Juvederm Ultra 3 1 ml и Juvederm Smile 0,55 мл
—Preparations are also made in France by the Allergan company. An older line of drugs, suitable for patients who quickly dissolve the effect of the procedure, for a longer result.
3. Stylage S and Stylage M – 1 ml preparations, made in France, by Vivacy. The drugs can be formulated with or without lidocaine. This allows the procedure to be carried out for patients with a history of allergic reactions to lidocaine and other anesthetics. The drug is also flexible and allows you to create a beautiful shape.
4. Surgiderm – this is an improved development of the French company Corneal, the drugs do not contain lidocaine and are also suitable for patients with a history of allergic reactions to lidocaine and other anesthetics.
5. Belotero – the line of the company Merz Pharma (Germany), the drug Belotero Balance is perfect for age patients who want to improve the texture of the lips, reduce wrinkles, without changing and increasing the shape.
I cannot but focus on safety. Since each injected drug, filler, is essentially an implant and is injected into the tissue for a certain time, it is important to take a responsible approach to the choice of a doctor and a drug. In my practice, I always use only high-quality certified drugs from leading manufacturers. It is also very important that before the procedure you must be shown the drug, name, expiration date, volume, that it is hermetically sealed and closed. Currently, in cosmetology, only biodegradable, that is, absorbable preparations are used, in particular, for the correction of the lip area, only preparations based on hyaluronic acid are used.
Correction examples
At the obligatory consultation before the procedure, the doctor should always discuss with you the expectations of the procedure, the form, the severity of the volume and changes.
Clinical examples:
1. Juvederm Volift 1 ml
As we can see, absolutely natural correction of 1 ml of the preparation. This was the first procedure of this nature for the patient and she was very pleased with the result.
2. Preparation Juvederm Smile 0,55 ml
The patient’s request was for naturalness, alignment of the lip closure line and a sharper shape. We dealt with it, getting the perfect result.
3. Preparation Juvederm Volift 1 ml
And an example of a more pronounced correction at the request of the patient. As you can see, there are no ducks.
Most popular questions from patients before the procedure
They won’t be big and stick out like a duck?
No, as we could evaluate with examples of works, modern techniques allow you to get a natural result, and very large lips are always the patient’s desire and repeated correction.
If I don’t like it, can they be removed?
Yes, if something is wrong, we have a longidase preparation, it contains an enzyme that breaks down the gel, and thus it can be completely removed. But all my patients who were afraid are very happy with the result, and this method was not useful to us.
If I already had an unsuccessful correction, then how to remove the drug?
You can remove the gel based on hyaluronic acid with the longidase preparation and do it again after 14-21 days.
Are there any allergic reactions?
There are no reactions to certified original hyaluronic acid preparations, it is hypoallergenic, there may be a variant of an individual reaction to lidocaine. If you have ever had a reaction to anesthetics, we can find a drug without them, in other cases you should not worry.
What rehabilitation and for how long?
Rehabilitation is the same as after all injection procedures: bruises and swelling are possible, which is a normal reaction, they do not last long, up to 14 days. After two weeks, you will already be able to accurately assess the final result.
Can asymmetry be corrected?
Yes, one of the indications for contour correction is working with asymmetry.
Will I feel the filler?
No, after 14 days, when the puffiness has completely disappeared, you will not feel it at all. The sensitivity of the lips also does not change, everything will be the same as before the correction.
What are the restrictions after the procedure?
After the lip contouring procedure, it will be necessary to exclude the sauna, bath, solarium, do not warm up the injection site, do not massage the lips, you also need to exclude alcohol, active physical activity for up to 14 days.
