Stages of the procedure

During the procedure, the client goes through the following stages:

Lubricating the lips with a cream that contains lidocaine. Then, after 10-15 minutes, the lips lose sensitivity and the master proceeds directly to the procedure.
Injection of filler into the lips. You should discuss in advance with the specialist whether a more significant increase in the upper lip is required and in what place. Based on this information, the master will introduce a little more filler where the client asked.
As a rule, about six injections are made into each lip (the exact number depends on the technique used by the master and on the amount of filler injected).
At the end of the procedure, you should blot off the remaining anesthetic cream with a napkin and, if necessary, wipe off the blood. As a rule, when the procedure is carried out correctly, no blood is released, or its amount is not large at all.

Approximate cost of the procedure

The final cost depends on two factors:

qualification of a cosmetologist who performs filler injections;
quantity and price of the drug used.

For example, one syringe (1 ml) of Princess filler costs about 5 thousand rubles. Plus the work of a master - about 2-3 thousand (including the use of local anesthesia). These factors determine the final price. Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a relatively safe procedure. However, if you save money and use the services of an untested specialist in a salon where, at first glance, sanitation conditions are not observed, then there is a high risk of unpleasant consequences.

The price of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid will be significantly higher if you use two syringes (2 ml) of the composition at once or if you choose American or French-made fillers.

Indications for use

Unlike other facial injection procedures, labiaplasty is prescribed starting at age 18. This is not only a safe, low-traumatic cosmetology method. It is widely used in medicine to eliminate the consequences of injuries and congenital anomalies.

Indications:

desire to have plump lips;
smoothing purse-string wrinkles - vertical folds above the upper lip;
getting rid of asymmetry, scars, scars, cleft lip;
correction of very thin lips;
drooping corners of the mouth;
inexpressive outline;
dryness, peeling of lips;
change in shape.

The popular technique allows you to create French lips, the natural volume does not reveal the intervention of a cosmetologist. This procedure harmonizes facial features and improves appearance, giving a clear outline to the shape. It can be prescribed from the age of 18, and is effective in adulthood. After 50–60, it is recommended to undergo lip plastic surgery as part of a complex of anti-aging procedures.

Safety and qualifications of a cosmetologist

Before you lie down on the couch and trust your face to a cosmetologist, you should read reviews on the Internet about his work and look at photographs. Unsuccessful lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is almost always the artist’s fault.

Competent specialists regularly undergo retraining, receive certificates, study methods of working with new products, and know several ways to administer the drug. If the master is inexperienced or does not have sufficient education, or is not informed about the features of a particular filler, then problems almost always await the client. This includes the formation of bruises, lip asymmetry, and swelling after lip augmentation. Choosing a good specialist is the key to a successful procedure.

Stars after unsuccessfully enlarged lips

Big money, natural visual attractiveness and star status are not yet protection from such a problem as unsuccessful lip surgery. Just look at the unrecognizably changed faces of your favorite actresses, TV presenters and other popular personalities:

Masha Malinovskaya. After the procedure, the “blue screen” star began to look so much that she stopped loving her own face. She had to undergo repeated intervention to restore the previous appearance of her lips.

Natalya Andreichenko. The operation did not help relieve the burden of the past years. But she made it obvious that the actress used the services of a plastic surgeon.

Singer Alexa. At one time, the lips of the Star Factory graduate resembled boiled dumplings. Fortunately, the girl realized that this did not decorate her face and corrected the defect.

Donatella Versace. After lip augmentation, many began to sympathize with the sister and heiress of a famous fashion designer about her appearance.

Melanie Gruffudd. Her lips have obviously undergone a change in volume and a very unfortunate one.

Daryl Hannah. Of all the plastic surgeries, the one with lip augmentation is the least successful.

Is it possible to get rid of persistent herpes?

It is impossible to get rid of the virus - this has been proven by scientists and doctors. Permanent herpes is characterized by periods of exacerbation and remission; it may not manifest itself for years or may constantly bother a person. But the patient has the opportunity, using medications and traditional methods, to reduce the number of exacerbations

Some recommendations help strengthen the immune system - this is important for long-term remissions of the disease. This is about:

playing sports - standard exercise, moderate physical activity and just an active lifestyle will be enough;
refusal to drink alcohol and smoke;
diet corrections;
compliance with the daily routine.

It is important to adhere to the rules of personal hygiene, not to share the same towel and utensils with a sick person, to periodically undergo a course of vitamin therapy and, if necessary, full courses of treatment for various pathologies

Restrictions after injections

The positive result of the procedure largely depends on compliance with the restrictions specified by the doctor. Usually, after the introduction of fillers, the cosmetologist gives recommendations that you should not:

eat and drink 3–5 hours;
use cosmetics (especially decorative ones containing alcohol);
consume hot, spicy food and drinks;
kiss;
eat in public catering;
sunbathe, steam, wash with hot water for up to 2 weeks;
drink alcohol, smoke;
be exposed to temperature changes, become hypothermic, overheat;
injure the skin;
contact with dirty objects;
physically overexert yourself, exercise for up to 10–14 days;
swim in public bodies of water;
perform cosmetic and dental procedures for up to 2 weeks.

It may seem like there are a lot of restrictions. Most prohibitions last for 2-3 days or until the puncture wounds are completely healed. How long after you can return to your normal life will the cosmetologist tell you?

Don't neglect precautions. The result depends on this

How to prevent complications after lip augmentation?

In many cases, the negative effects of lip augmentation can be prevented. If you do the procedure with a good specialist, your own face in the mirror will please you, you just need to fulfill certain conditions for a few days:

After enlargement, use only those care ointments and creams prescribed by the doctor;

take into account that the final appearance of the lips will not be determined immediately after the procedure, and do not require the doctor to inject more gel;

do not overheat your lips with hot and spicy food, postpone going to the bathhouse or solarium;

do not wear lipstick, refuse to apply tone to the face;

forget for a while about physical activity, which stimulates blood circulation and swelling;

stop smoking, as it irritates injured tissues and can lead to displacement of the fillers;

at first sleep on your back, avoiding your lips touching anything;

try not to grimace, not to smile widely.

Unsuccessfully done lips on a friend or movie star, of course, will not stop other women from undergoing this procedure. But if you do it, you should minimize any risks and undergo a comprehensive medical examination before the intervention. Then you won’t have to catch sympathetic glances, but only accept admiration and compliments.

Alternative non-injection medications

Hyaluronic acid can be used without injection. Standard surface application of the product will not give the desired effect. The substance can be “delivered” into the tissue using hardware techniques.

Electroporation with hyaluronic acid and other similar techniques are considered an alternative to non-surgical contouring.

Some patients are not in the mood to give injections or manipulate various devices. It is much easier to smear the skin with a ready-made product that gives a similar effect. Among these cosmetics options are:

Histomer Lip Filler;
Markell Magic Lips;
Libriderm filler 3D effect;
Filorga Nutri Filler lips.

All preparations contain low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which has good penetrating abilities. The substances are aimed at restoring hydrobalance and skin quality. After regular use of the drugs for 4-6 weeks, the effect of a slight increase in volume is noticeable.

Cosmetologists claim that surface-applied preparations will never provide a full-fledged result, as after injections. The use of the products is recommended for those who, for various reasons, are forced to abandon more reliable methods of correction.

Causes of complications

Health problems after any of the lip augmentation procedures arise for various reasons. Both the specialist and the patient may be to blame. The list of factors that can lead to undesirable results is:

ignoring contraindications for the procedure;

insufficient sterility during manipulation;

the patient’s failure to comply with living conditions immediately after the increase;

features of the condition of the lip tissues before the intervention (age-related changes and others);

use of uncertified fillers and other drugs during the procedure;

the patient’s demands for lip augmentation that do not correspond to the body’s capabilities and the doctor’s indulgence of her desires;

insufficient qualification of a specialist.

Most of the reasons for unsuccessful interventions of this kind are based on the human factor. Therefore, it is important to approach the choice of a specialist or clinic very carefully, responsibly, not to save money, and to find out the opinion of previous patients. It is mandatory to follow the cosmetologist's recommendations. You should not insist on what the doctor refuses to do.

Comparison with other anti-aging procedures

Correction with fillers is the safest and most popular method not only for rejuvenation, but also for adding volume to the lips. A common French technique allows you to achieve a natural look through minimal dosage. Preparations based on hyaluronic acid are used, as a result the face acquires a cute, sometimes childlike expression due to the raising of the corners of the mouth upward.

Botox. Toxin injections are primarily used for the upper part of the face. With atrophy of the muscle fibers around the mouth, problems with articulation may occur. The method is effective for smoothing out deep wrinkles; thanks to relaxation, the lips visually look larger. The result lasts from 4 to 8 months.

Lipofilling. An expensive procedure that includes several stages. To perform this, material is collected from another part of the body. Lipids undergo purification and are then injected into the lip area. The effect lasts for 3 years.

Threadlifting. Using a very thin needle, threads are sewn into the lip area. They form a beautiful lip line, smooth out wrinkles, and activate collagen synthesis. The effect can be enjoyed for several years.

Electroporation. Non-invasive method based on hyaluronic acid. Active elements penetrate through lipid channels under the influence of electricity. The result lasts only a few months, the effect is less pronounced compared to injection programs.

Possible side effects

It is completely normal if within two to three days after the procedure the client experiences the following difficulties:

Swelling after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a normal phenomenon and occurs in every second girl, even if high-quality and expensive fillers are used.
Small bruises may appear at the injection site - this is a feature of the client’s blood clotting speed, which does not depend on the skill of the cosmetologist. Such small bruises disappear after a few days.
Mild pain in the lip area is normal.

What consequences of lip augmentation are considered a “bell” and a reason to seek help and advice from a cosmetologist?

Large bruises after lip augmentation that extend beyond the contours of the mouth are not normal. You should monitor your condition and stay in touch with a cosmetologist.
Severe pain, inability to chew and talk.
Excessively large swelling indicates an allergic reaction. You should start taking antihistamines.

What complications can there be?

For beauty salons, lip augmentation with fillers is a standard, harmless procedure. However, it is truly harmless only with proper care. Negligence towards the procedure can lead to a number of complications.

Possible complications after the procedure can be divided into three types:

Hematomas;
Edema;
Allergic reaction.

On average, the tissue healing process after the procedure occurs within a week.

Hematomas

Sometimes, when the drug is injected into the mucous membrane, a normal reaction to a foreign body in the body occurs, which is accompanied by a slight bleeding. The accumulation of blood is a temporary phenomenon with lip augmentation, so there is no need to worry.

You can get rid of bruises using simple procedures. Ice compresses made from medicinal plants will help with this. Cold is a great helper in the fight against hematomas and bruises. Applying ice constricts blood vessels and promotes blood flow at the injection site. Decoctions of chamomile, lemon balm, calendula, etc. should be frozen.

Gels and ointments will also help get rid of hemorrhages. It is recommended to use products that consist as much as possible of natural products. You should not use ointments that have a strong warming effect, as this can cause discomfort and irritation.

For the first 24 hours after the injection, it is better not to press or massage the area where the blood has accumulated. But, in the following days, a light acupressure massage of the hematoma is recommended to speed up the metabolism and the resorption process.

Edema

Edema is a local accumulation of fluid, which is accompanied by an increase in the volume of the skin cavity.

The occurrence of slight swelling and pain is an integral part of the procedure, as this is a normal reaction of the body to injections. If the swelling is distributed evenly on your lips, then most likely its traces will disappear within a few days. However, if swelling is accompanied by a number of factors, then emergency measures should be taken. These factors are:

Strong pain;
The swelling does not go away for more than 5 days;
Severe redness or paleness of the skin;
Formation of foci of inflammation.

If these symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor and not self-medicate, since only a specialist can give the correct answer to the cause of edema.

Often, swelling appears against the background of acute respiratory infections, stress or herpes; an allergic reaction or individual intolerance is also possible. This reaction cannot be excluded due to depletion of the body and deficiency of vitamins, vitamin deficiency.

Also, this reaction is possible due to an error by the cosmetologist when choosing the dosage, drug, as well as during the procedure itself.

Allergic reaction

If swelling and pain do not subside, but complications such as urticaria or Quincke's edema appear, then this is a clear sign of an allergic reaction. In this case, the mouth swells beyond the contour of the lips, and the chin or lower part of the face may swell.

Sometimes dry lips after injection with hyaluronic acid are confused with an allergic reaction. This is wrong. Dry lips occur due to an increased concentration of anesthetic in the solution. In this case, the active effect of the main drug has not had time to occur when the anesthetic is in full effect. The dryness that occurs can be easily eliminated with moisturizers.

Hyaluronic acid, by definition, cannot cause dry lips, as it is a substance that actively has a moisturizing effect.

Contraindications

But even in the case when there is an aesthetic need to change the volume of the lips, shape, outline the contour, not everyone is allowed to carry out the augmentation procedure. After all, this is an interference in the functioning of the body, which may not be ready for it. Therefore, before starting to improve the patient’s appearance, the doctor will want to make sure that she does not have the following problems:

Herpes on the lips. You will need to wait until the chronic disease goes into remission.

Pregnancy and lactation. During this period, intervention can produce unpredictable results, including affecting processes.

Immune suppression. This feature can cause complications.

Diabetes mellitus. Manipulation with it causes rejection of the lip correction material and tissue bleeding.

Oncological disease. Because of it, the body's defenses weaken, and the procedure can cause an exacerbation of the tumor process.

Severe allergies. It is impossible to predict the body's reaction to drugs.

Autoimmune pathologies. With them, the result can also be a complication.

Inflammation of the lips, an infectious process in this area. Otherwise it will spread further and deeper.

Taking anticoagulants. It prevents the tissue from healing, which is why bleeding is likely.

Intolerance to the drugs used for the procedure. The reaction to them must be identified in advance, otherwise the manipulation is meaningless and dangerous.

If the patient is cunning, hiding the diseases she has, or the doctor is not attentive enough to collecting anamnesis, the woman is guaranteed to have bad lips as a result of the intervention. And perhaps this is not the only unpleasant surprise after the increase.

Cases of unsuccessful lip augmentation among celebrities

Rarely a famous woman did not enlarge her lips, trying to give her face a more sensual and sexy expression. It would seem that world-famous stars and successful women should not have problems with the results of cosmetic intervention. After all, the most renowned and qualified cosmetologists are at their service. However, the Internet is replete with photos of unsuccessful lip augmentation by celebrities. The inept actions of a specialist, and sometimes the inability of the woman herself to stop in time in her desire to become more beautiful, sometimes lead to terrifying results. Here are the most shocking results of famous sponge enlargement:

Masha Malinovskaya. One of the most striking examples of overdoing it with lip fillers. In an effort to make her lips even plumper, Masha achieved the opposite effect. My lips have become more voluminous, it’s true. But at the same time, the filler was distributed poorly, resulting in an unaesthetic gap in the middle of the upper lip. The help of a plastic surgeon helped the star correct the situation.

Masha Rasputina. Apparently, it’s hard for Masha without plump lips) Another example of a star Masha, whose lips cause surprise and bewilderment, is, of course, the singer Masha Rasputina. Only the lazy didn’t gossip about her. And it all started innocently enough - slightly plump lips, which grew larger over time until they began to resemble two huge dumplings.

Donatella Versace. The world fashion trendsetter spares no time, effort and money to improve her appearance. But the result is not to say that it’s gorgeous. Stunning, yes, but rather in the opposite direction. Exorbitantly large lips do not at all brighten Donatella’s face, on which traces of numerous surgical and cosmetic interventions are already clearly visible.

Lindsey Lohan. The popular performer of roles in many box-office films also decided to have her lips enlarged. It is worth noting that she was clearly too carried away by the process and her pumped lips now give the star’s face an eternally offended expression.

Jessica Simpson did not look any more impressive after the lip augmentation procedure. The fact is that the pretty blonde overdid it with the amount of filler. And now the disproportionately large lips on her face look comical and unnatural.

Huge lips don’t even suit very young girls, what can we say about mature women. On a face marked by withering, such “improvement” looks extremely false and sometimes frightening. However, this fact does not bother such world stars as Melanie Griffith, Goldie Hawn and Courtney Love.

Jocelyn Waldenstein. It's hard to believe that the notorious socialite once looked like all ordinary women. Numerous plastic and cosmetic surgeries have made her face simply terrifying. Separately, it is worth highlighting the lips of the millionaire, which, without exaggeration, occupy a good half of her face. However, it is worth admitting that even without such pumping up, Jocelyn’s face would hardly look normal.

Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a kind of lottery in which the prize is beautiful, voluminous and well-groomed lips. A positive result depends on the woman’s health and skin tissue. But to an even greater extent it depends on the skill of the cosmetologist. Therefore, when deciding on injections, you need to be aware of all possible risks. Even the most qualified master cannot guarantee a 100% successful result.

Lip contouring

To correct age-related changes in the lips, the contour plastic method is more suitable. During the aging process, the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, natural polymers that give and maintain elasticity and volume to the skin, decreases. Therefore, over the years, lips lose their elasticity and shape, and the skin around them becomes covered with a network of wrinkles. Contour plastic surgery - injection technique Correction of thin, lost volume or asymmetrical lips is possible with the help of hyaluronic acid. This method is called contour plastic and has a number of advantages:

the ability to get the desired result in just one procedure;
if indicated, the technique can be used for young patients;
speed of implementation, lack of preparatory and rehabilitation period;
duration of retention of the result;
safety of the procedure.

Contour plastic surgery is a non-surgical injection technique. To carry out the procedure, biodegradable fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used. It is this substance that is natural for our body, since it is present in connective tissue, but over time its amount is noticeably reduced.

Features of the enlargement procedure

Of the entire range of techniques for improving the line and volume of lips, hyaluronate is the leader. This is a natural component responsible for retaining water in cells. With age, acid production decreases and skin turgor decreases.

To give the lips an aesthetically attractive appearance, the cosmetologist begins several stages of therapy:

Analysis of the client's health status and wishes.
No contraindications.
Selection of injection technique.
Anesthesia (numbing cream or injections).
Injections.
Relieving swelling.
Recommendations (time of correction, methods of care).

Hyaluronic acid is used to improve the contour of the face, the volume of the cheekbones and eliminate facial wrinkles. Pharmacy displays offer a wide selection of fillers, the most popular and safest drug from a Swedish company is Restylane. Using a syringe with a thin needle, the gel is injected into the layers of the dermis, increasing its elasticity and stimulating the production of natural collagen.

Possible negative consequences

Types of complications after lip augmentation procedure:

The introduction of bacteria into the lip tissue, the development of inflammation and infection. If there is a suspicion (swelling and pain) of such a complication, you should urgently consult a dermatologist or surgeon. The appearance of purulent cavities and fistulas is possible.
Damage to the nerve roots and loss of normal sensitivity in the injection area. With this complication, the lips become numb and lose their sensitivity.
Injury to the nerve trunk is possible when the procedure is performed by an inexperienced cosmetologist, or when the filler is injected too deeply or in the wrong direction. This will cause impaired facial expressions, drooping lips, and asymmetry.

Which filler should I choose?

In order for the procedure to be successful and the swelling after lip augmentation to be minimal (or not exist at all), you should choose a good filler. An experienced cosmetologist, after examining the tissues to be worked with, will give advice regarding the choice of company and the density of the filler used.

Also, how long it will last in the lip tissue depends on the quality of the filler and its density. Around the fourth or fifth month, the filler will begin to slowly dissolve. The lips will shrink, but so slowly that it will be unnoticeable to either strangers or the client herself. After about a year, the filler will completely leave the tissue.

Among inexpensive and high-quality fillers, we can recommend products from “Princesses”. This is an Austrian company that produces several lines of fillers with hyaluronic acid of varying densities. As a rule, cosmetologists do not recommend using expensive materials for lips. This part of the face is very mobile, and fillers leave the tissue quite quickly, so there is no point in spending money on French or American-made products.

The contour is not smooth

Either the cosmetologist or you yourself are to blame for this. No problem. The contour can be adjusted after the injection.

However, it is necessary to wait a couple of weeks after the first procedure. Why? Because the swelling caused by anesthesia takes just that long to go away. Otherwise, it is impossible to determine the correctness of the contour. This is the first thing.
Secondly, you need to give the hyaluronic acid time to distribute under the skin. The result will be visible only after two weeks.
If there is a need for adjustment, you must carefully and in detail discuss the desired shape with your doctor. If the asymmetry is slightly noticeable, the cosmetologist will inject the required amount of the drug where necessary.

How to fight herpes

If your lips hurt after enlargement, this may be a manifestation of an infectious disease in the form of small blisters. If the patient has a weak immune system, there is a possibility that herpes will appear after the procedure. A woman with this predisposition should tell her doctor about this before the procedure. You will likely have to undergo treatment before and after the procedure. In this case, you can avoid herpes before the procedure, and if it appears after the procedure, you will have to undergo a course of treatment.
