Nowadays, no one will be surprised by the appearance modification. Now, not only film starters, but mere mortals can change the shape of their nose, eyes, cheekbones and lips. One of the easiest modifications is lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid.
Now the procedure is very common among all segments of the population. This happens because of the fashion for plump lips, low cost, relative to the past decade, and the variety of clinics that make this procedure.
Hyaluronic acid for lip augmentation - what is it and how does it work?
Hyaluronic acid is a component of human and animal connective tissue, its structure is viscous and gel-like. Its most valuable feature is that it is able to attract and hold water 1000 times more than its weight.
With the introduction of the inside, the place filled with it will be filled with water in a certain amount, until hyaluronic acid is eliminated from the body. This is her property and began to actively exploit the beauty industry.
It is added to creams, serums, dietary supplements, but injections of hyaluronic acid work most effectively. Many experts, in general, believe that hyaluronic acid molecules are not able to penetrate from the creams and serums through the outer layer of skin to the deeper layers, this can be done only by injection.
Previously, hyaluronic acid was extracted from the cartilage tissue of animals, and then subjected to cleaning, but to eliminate allergic reactions, this is now a biosynthesized formula.
To increase the volume of the lips in certain places, the drug, based on hyaluronic acid, is injected locally with a syringe into the lip mucosa. Hyaluronic acid is also found in other “beauty injections”, but the compositions have different textures, a more viscous composition is introduced into the lips than during biorevitalization.
The most popular and proven products are manufacturers:
- stylage;
- restylane;
- prevelle;
- hylaform;
- juvederm;
- teosyal kiss.
They, in turn, have different lines, which differ in the degree of viscosity. Usually there are special lines for lips.
In addition to the increase, this procedure makes the lips moist, bright, juicy, solves the problem of dryness and lethargy of the skin of the lips. Especially decorates this procedure of age-related clients. They fill wrinkles around the lips and restore the volume of lips lost with age.
With age, the synthesis of its own hyaluronic acid drops significantly, dryness and sagging skin appear. And the skin of the lips, especially tender and thin, suffers from one of the first.
Over time, the drug is absorbed and it happens gradually, the sponge "deflates." This is a minus procedure, but to some extent it is even a plus. It is possible to observe the lips in motion, in facial expressions, from different angles, in the photo.
The client can understand that the procedure did not work or, on the contrary, the drug was not administered enough. And besides, tastes and ideas about beauty during life can change quite a lot.
What to consider when deciding on a procedure
Having decided on this procedure, it is important to choose a good clinic and specialist and follow all his instructions. Despite the fact that the procedure is technically very simple, it requires perfect knowledge of anatomy and jewelry accuracy. If a cosmetologist inject in the wrong place, it is fraught with many aesthetic blemishes.
When the beautician is chosen with full responsibility, the client must completely trust the beautician. To many, during the procedure itself, it seems that the cosmetologist has pinched off enough and needs more. Or, on the contrary, edema may scare the client.
But it is important to understand that the cosmetologist knows how the final version will look and what is seen in the mirror immediately after the injections is not the final result. After all, the drug did not attract the necessary moisture, and the swelling from the injections did not sleep. Fully evaluate the result only after a couple of days.
It is important to determine whether the procedure is really needed. This may be just a whim, but it happens that there are valid reasons:
- Lip asymmetry One half of the lip is less than the other, or one lip is much smaller than the other.
- Loss of lip volume with age, dull color and wrinkles around the lips.
- A sad face, because anatomically corners of the lips are always down.
- Blurred lip contour and very weak pigment.
- Very small lips that objectively spoil the appearance.
After the procedure it is very important to follow all the instructions of the beautician, especially with regards to water balance and non-exercise.
Otherwise, the end result may be unpredictable. Since the filler has not fallen into place yet and has not been completely filled with water.
Contraindications
As with any intervention in the body, lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers also has contraindications. It is very important in the presence of at least one of them to abandon the procedure for a while, and maybe even forever.
- inflammatory processes in the body;
- disturbances in blood clotting;
- pregnancy;
- the presence in the lips of foreign bodies and polymer gel;
- connective tissue diseases;
- any acute illness;
- intolerance to the components of the drug;
- cases of anaphylactic shock;
- skin diseases;
- oncological diseases.
A good specialist, having learned that the client has one of these features will never do the procedure. If we ignore these warnings and still make an increase, then the troubles can be both aesthetic and with health.
Procedure progress
How is lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid performed? What kind of drug the doctor decides to do the procedure, sometimes it happens that several of them are combined in different proportions. The procedure itself takes place in several stages:
Consultation. Beautician and client discuss exactly what effect is required.
Select the desired shape and size of the lips. Now there are various computer programs in which you can simulate and see them on your face.
Anesthesia. Since the procedure is rather painful, lidocaine is usually injected. There will be more edema from anesthesia by injection, but analgesia is stronger. If the pain threshold is quite high, apply Emla ointment ointment.
Unpacking the syringe. The customer must see how the packaging with the syringe is opened, as they are disposable.
Actually the procedure for introducing a filler, when the sensitivity disappears completely.
Manual distribution. The beautician makes this easy massaging movements.
The entire procedure without consultation with an experienced specialist takes about half an hour. After that you shouldn’t touch your lips, kiss, eat hot. Be sure to comply with the drinking mode, the amount of water will calculate the beautician, but usually it is about 2 liters.
Duration of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
Many are concerned about the question, and how often you need to poke your lips if you want the result to always please. The duration of the effect is individual and depends on many features of the organism and lifestyle.
Much depends on the viscosity of the drug. But usually the hyaluronic acid base lines in the lips dissolve in about six months. In some cases, the effect can last up to a year, it happens that almost nothing is visible even after three months.
Preparations from the increased viscosity range can be stored in tissues for up to one and a half years.
If the asymmetry was corrected, it is quite possible that it will be necessary to make a correction in a couple of weeks with more viscous preparations, so the preparation could have been uneven.
Side effects and effects
Even after a normally passed procedure, some side effects may occur:
- redness on the lips and around them;
- slight bruising of the lips;
- swelling of the lips;
- seals and bumps in the lips.
This is normal, if it passes within a day, rarely two, but if these moments progress or do not pass for a longer time, then you need to contact a cosmetologist for advice. When the seals helps light lip massage.
It happens that after some time, for example, 2-3 months, swelling begins. This is usually either a delayed allergic reaction or overdose. For such cases, there is an antidote, a drug that very quickly removes hyaluronic acid from the lips.
Abnormal is the presence of these side longer than two days. This can signal either an allergic reaction or an incorrect procedure. We urgently need to call your beautician or go to the reception.
He must say what it is and prescribe treatment.
The cost of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
Now the procedure has become much more accessible. The cost may vary, depending on the clinic where the procedure is carried out, the drug being administered and the amount needed.
The basic cost is the price of the drug itself. Usually in the syringe contains 1 ml, can use from 1 to 3 syringes. Even if 1.1 syringes were introduced, you will have to pay for 2, since these are disposable syringes.
The price in clinics of St. Petersburg and Moscow varies in the region of 11,000 for 1 ml, the price can go up to 25,000 if it is a very popular place, but if you offer a procedure for less than 9,000, then such places should be treated with caution, it is too cheap for The original drug, and now a lot of fakes.
Reviews of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
Before the procedure, you just need to collect feedback about the beautician to whom you plan to go. Be sure to view photos of his work. Make sure that all certificates are available.
Reviews of this procedure are different, if it was done in a clinic with a good reputation, it is almost certainly positive feedback.
There is a stereotype that lip augmentation is ugly and vulgar. Most likely, the reason is that when the lip augmentation was just started, many people overdid it and looked like ducks.
And then it was made either by a polymer gel, which, after the injection was no longer absorbed, or by surgery.
And something to fix later was difficult. But now, they have learned to control the dose and those who resort to this procedure already know the measure. And if, nevertheless, the girl did not calculate, then after a certain time the hyaluronic acid will resolve, and next time it will be possible to pump up sponges smaller. Today, you can communicate with a girl for a long time and do not even suspect that she increases her lips with this procedure.
