Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid preparations
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is one of the most effective, safe and popular cosmetic procedures, thanks to which you can simulate the natural volume of the lips, maintaining or improving their natural shape. It is carried out using modern technology for injecting fillers (special filler preparations based on stabilized hyaluronic acid) under the skin. Volume modeling of lips with preparations based on hyaluronic acid is a safe and effective method of changing appearance. The main component of fillers is hyaluronate, which is a natural, hypoallergenic and highly effective filler. When hyaluronic acid molecules enter the subcutaneous layer, they attract large amounts of moisture, stimulating metabolic processes and collagen synthesis in tissues. This helps restore the natural moisture of the lips, giving them beauty and freshness for a long period.
When will the result appear?
One of the main advantages of injectable fillers is its immediate effect. The result of the procedure can be seen immediately - a small sensual swelling. In addition, in the future it will only improve as tissue swelling disappears in the places where the injections were performed. You can notice the effect of lip augmentation with biogel filler after 48 hours, when the injected drug is distributed throughout the spongy tissue and binds a sufficient amount of moisture to its molecules. Lips will become truly beautiful 4-7 days after the injection of fillers. Depending on the properties of a particular filler and the individual characteristics of the patient’s body, absolutely natural young sponges can last from six months to 10-12 months. At the same time, they will gradually and evenly decrease due to biodegradation, or breakdown, of hyaluronic acid into absolutely harmless components: carbon dioxide and water, which are easily removed from the body naturally. In addition, repeated injection of fillers increases not only the volume of the lips, but also the duration of gel resorption to 12-15 months due to the cumulative effect.

Safety of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid preparations
The popular method of non-surgical lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is safe. This is due to both the technology for introducing fillers and their absolutely natural composition. In this case, preparations containing hyaluronic acid are supplied in packaged form, in special syringes for individual use (disposable). They are hermetically sealed and completely sterile. The risk of infection during the procedure in this case is reduced to zero. The thinnest needle in the syringe, which is used for injections, leaves no traces after punctures. Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid can be performed as desired any number of times without complications, since there is no need to wait for the gel to completely biodegrade. (Only when repeating the procedure, it is necessary to use the product of the same line as the previous time.) In addition, by breaking down into safe components: carbon dioxide and water, preparations with hyaluronate do not cause any harm to the body.
Who is this procedure for?
The procedure for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is most popular, according to most cosmetologists, among girls under 30 years of age. They more often than others dream of full and juicy lips, reminiscent of the sensual lips of famous fashion models or Hollywood stars. This procedure is no less relevant among women of “Balzac” age. They seek aesthetic lip correction using filler gels when there are obvious signs of aging facial skin. Reduce purse string wrinkles and “marionette lines” (raising the corners of the mouth), restore the appearance, contour and color of the lips - all these aging problems are perfectly solved by the aesthetic lip modeling procedure, which increases their volume. According to cosmetologists, the procedure for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is universal; it has no restrictions on the age or gender of a person. It is used not only by women, but also by men who want to correct asymmetry, adjust the proportionality of their lips, increase their volume and emphasize their contour. This is most often due to the appearance of the first signs of aging or existing defects in appearance.
Preparation for the procedure of aesthetic correction of lips with hyaluronic acid
Special measures to prepare for the procedure of lip augmentation with a gel containing hyaluronic acid are not required due to its low invasiveness. However, cosmetologists recommend reducing the harsh impact on the skin areas adjacent to the lips a week before the agreed date. At this time, it is better to avoid the use of all types of peeling and masks that contain aggressive components and thin the upper layer of the epidermis. It is also necessary to stop smoking during this period.
Rules for the lip augmentation procedure with hyaluronic acid
At the beginning of the procedure, the cosmetologist will make sure that the patient has no contraindications. Then he will take into account her wishes regarding the shape and volume of the lips that she would like to have after this procedure and give professional recommendations so that after correction the patient’s face looks harmonious, and not just matches the photo from the cover of a glossy magazine. Next, the cosmetologist will determine the type and amount of filler needed to solve an individual aesthetic problem. To make the procedure comfortable and painless, local anesthesia is used using special gels. The skin on the lips is highly sensitive, so it perfectly perceives the effect of local anesthetics. The surface of the lips is treated with a solution of chlorhexidine. Then filler is injected along the contour of the lips using a thin needle. As the gel is introduced, the specialist visually assesses the result, since hyaluronic acid should be distributed evenly in the tissues of the lips, without forming tubercles or bumps. After making several punctures, the cosmetologist carefully massages the lips, adjusting their shape. The only discomfort that women may experience after lip augmentation with filler is slight redness, swelling and slight swelling, which disappear within a couple of hours.

Questions and answers:
Are there dangers of “dumpling lips” after the procedure?
No, because after the first procedure you can be sure that the volume of the injected drug allows you to get only a clear contour and a slight sensual swelling of the lips. Further increase in volume should be discussed with a cosmetologist, and the patient should carefully consider his recommendations and his health.
Can lip augmentation cause problems when flying?
Long flights after lip correction do not cause any adverse reactions. But on the plane, women often have dry lips, so it would be rational to moisturize them with hygienic lipstick or balm.
Is it possible to combine fillers based on hyaluronic acid and silicone?
No. In this case, complications may occur: gel migration, excessive persistent swelling, scarring, and others.
Is it possible to do lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid if you get colds on your lips twice a year?
During the period of remission, it is possible, but 2 days before the procedure and 3 days after it, for the purpose of prevention, it is necessary to take antiherpetic drugs.
Is it true that you should avoid eating hot foods and drinks for the first few days?
Only boiling water is strictly contraindicated after lip correction. Careful and reasonable consumption of warm tea and coffee is allowed. In addition, you should not forget to rinse your mouth with a saline solution several times a day to heal injection punctures.
Will my lips begin to wrinkle over time after the procedure?
No, one of the main advantages of stabilized hyaluronic acid is the uniform biodegradation of the gel. Therefore, plump lips gradually and naturally return to their original appearance, if not maintained with repeated correction after 8-12 months.

About the ideal form
Full red lips have always been and remain a unique synonym for beauty and youth, regardless of century and country.
The ancient Egyptians began painting their lips in an effort to attract more attention to them. In some cultures, bright, luscious lips are still an important social and aesthetic element that they strive to emphasize. Variations in “labial” anatomy come from racial predisposition, which can be seen firsthand by observing representatives of different races.
The ideal vertical ratio of the height of the upper and lower lip, or the “golden ratio”, was determined by the ancient Greeks and is 1:1.618
– the lips of a young Caucasian girl are taken as a sample here. Representatives of the Negroid race initially have fuller lips - this is genetically determined.
However, when creating “perfect lips,” a cosmetologist cannot rely on any clearly defined criteria (primarily because they do not exist) and must work based on his own experience, professional skills and the patient’s requests. Therefore, in order to create aesthetically beautiful lips, it is important to have a good understanding of the anatomy of this zone - this is the only way to plan the correction correctly.
Contraindications
Even if you choose the best lip filler available on the Russian market, do not rush to introduce it. This drug has certain contraindications:
- Pregnancy and lactation period. You should not risk your health and the health of your baby, despite the fact that the product is environmentally friendly.
- The presence of allergic reactions, irritations or herpes in the injection area.
- Having problems with blood clotting.
After the procedure, you must strictly follow the doctor's recommendations. Firstly, during the first 5-7 days you cannot massage your lips or kiss so that the gel does not leave its place. Secondly, sudden changes in temperature should be avoided. Don't go to the sauna, don't eat cold ice cream, don't smoke. Thirdly, there is no need to sunbathe - try to stay in the sun as little as possible. If this is not possible, use a wide-brimmed hat or sunscreen. Do not visit the solarium under any circumstances.
All these restrictions are valid only during the first days after injection - then the gel is built into the tissue structure and securely fixed in it. After 2-3 weeks, come back to the cosmetologist and, if necessary, undergo correction.

If bruising or swelling occurs, cool compresses should be applied. A special cream is used only for the next day. Lipstick cannot be used until it is completely healed.
Correcting the shape of your lips is a wonderful way to change your appearance for the better and correct imperfections.
