Lip Augmentation

Certainly in humans, the lips are the most attractive part of the face. At first glance, the lips can affect people deeply and quickly, in general, the lips play a key role in enhancing the beauty of people. Facial scientists around the world consider lips to be one of the hallmarks of your personality. When you feel happy, angry or sad, the first physical sign is reflected in the shape of your mouth, because you express your thoughts in phrases and through moods. Experts say that the shape of your lips may reflect even deeper psychological traits and personality traits.

Over time, the volume of the lips and the surrounding tissues naturally decreases. This reduction in volume is caused by a reduction in the volume of fat and tissue, as a result of which the appearance of the lips appears dry, wrinkled and turned inwards. A volume that has been lost over time and has caused a mismatch in the face can be restored. The lower lip is usually uniform in width, with a slight protrusion in the center. In order to maintain the balance of the lips, the volume of the lower lip should be slightly larger than the upper lip.

For women with small lips, tricks to make the lips look bigger by pulling the lip line higher can be used to create the appearance of larger lips. But many people naturally have very thin lips and makeup can only partially compensate for it! Instead of trying to make the lips stand out so that they look bigger and bigger, which usually gives them an unnatural look; and they may look awkward – lip enhancement can help you get the look you want for longer.

Benefits of Lip Augmentation

  • By increasing the volume of the lips, their appearance becomes natural, soft and prominent.
  • The arched shape of the lips can be highlighted, which increases the beauty of the lips.
  • The treatment is safe and if needed, the whole treatment is completely reversible.
  • It can reduce the lines around the lips.
  • It can be corrected if the corners of the mouth fall off, giving people a sad look.
  • The lines of laughter that come down from the corners of the lips will be reduced by minimizing the dimples and shadows created.

Lip augmentation is an outpatient procedure that uses a variety of techniques to improve the appearance of the lips. The materials used for this purpose can be both temporary and permanent, which are injected into the lips in the form of lip prostheses, filler and fat. The safest and least complication method is lip augmentation if filler. Of course filler injection is safe if using a certified brand of filler and injection by a skilled specialist. All valid fillers or gels have labels that have important filler specifications such as filler name, production number, expiration date, and filler volume.

As a non-invasive method, filler is one of the most popular treatment options for highlighting and enhancing the lips and increasing their attractiveness, which can be injected directly into the lips to highlight, enlarge or correct the imperfections of the lips.

A good candidate for lip augmentation

If any of the following concerns you, you may be a good candidate for lip augmentation:

  • Your lips are always thin and when they smile, they seem to disappear completely.
  • As you get older, your lips become thinner and lose their thickness.
  • You feel embarrassed about the look of your lips.
  • Having thicker lips helps to balance your face.

 

Filler Injection, Fat Injection, Lip Prosthesis

Fat Injection

In this method, fat is taken from adipose tissue and other areas of the body and injected into the lips to increase volume. The fat transfer method is more invasive than the filler injection and requires a short recovery period, but is usually performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization. The results of this method are relatively more durable than injectable gels, but the results are not strictly controllable in injectable gels.

In liposuction to enlarge the lips, fat cells are extracted from a part of the body, such as the abdomen or buttocks, and after processing, they are re-injected into them to increase the volume and enlarge the lips. The main reason for using fat injection instead of industrial gels is that; as fats are removed from the patient’s own body, the likelihood of a reaction or allergy is reduced.

Although fat injection is a very attractive treatment method, unfortunately, the amount of fat that stays inside the lips is not completely reliable. Injecting fat into the lips to enlarge and highlight them can take years or more, but some patients need a second or third injection six months after the initial injection to achieve the desired result.

Lip prosthesis

Lip augmentation with prosthesis is a method of lip augmentation that lasts for several years. Using a special implant made of soft and solid silicone material, this operation gives a pillow quality to the lips and at the same time, the result of the operation looks natural. Lip augmentation can be done on the upper lip, lower lip or both, to achieve a desirable result and a beautiful appearance. Silicone lip prostheses are available in a variety of sizes to provide the right volume and size you want. The soft, youthful appearance of the prosthesis should not restrict the natural movements of your mouth, allowing you to smile, talk, and eat without difficulty.

Silicone prostheses are designed to permanently increase the volume of the lips with a natural look. Lip prosthesis will no longer require re-injection or seasonal care to maintain the outcome of the treatment. During the operation, two small incisions are made in the mouth and at the corners of the lips, and then the prosthesis is placed inside the lips with the help of a special tool. Small sutures may be used to close the incisions, which will be removed within a few days of surgery. The discomfort caused by increasing the volume of the lips with the help of different types of lip prostheses in patients has been minimized. There may be some swelling in the treated area up to a week after surgery. Keeping your head up and using an ice pack for the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling. Postoperative discomfort can be controlled with medication.

Use Filler for Lip Augmentation

Hyaluronic acid is one of the fillers available in the market that has attracted the attention of many doctors and patients due to its special properties. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all living things. High concentrations of this substance are present in connective tissue and in the fluid around the eyes. It is also found in cartilage, joint fluid, and in the connective tissue of the skin. In skin tissue, hyaluronic acid is a jelly-like substance that fills the space between collagen and elastin fibers. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the structure of the human body and its role is to maintain moisture in the cells of the body. Each molecule of this acid retains about a thousand molecules of water, which makes the skin more elastic and younger looking. Hyaluronic acid has three main roles in the skin, which are:

  • Creating a mechanism for transporting essential nutrients from the bloodstream to skin cells
  • Hydration to the skin by the mechanism of combining with water molecules
  • As a cushion against mechanical and chemical damage

Over time, due to the natural aging process or due to contact with environmental factors such as air pollution and sunlight, part of the body’s natural store of hyaluronic acid is degraded. Hyaluronic acid treatment is suitable for almost everyone. Because hyaluronic acid is chemically the same among all animal species, allergies to it are very rare. This is in contrast to bovine collagen, which is about eight weeks apart from a skin test and treatment. Hyaluronic acid treatment is also suitable for patients with bovine collagen sensitivity.

Hyaluronic acid filler is not permanent. Just like natural hyaluronic acid, synthetic hyaluronic acid will gradually break down and be absorbed by the body after injection. In most cases, the shelf life of hyaluronic acid lasts 9 to 18 months. The treatment can be repeated if necessary.

Lip Augmentation by Filler

Lip filler injection or lip filler is done by a dermatologist at clinic to volume the lips and also naturally correct the shape of the lips. Lip filler is injected into different models such as: doll or Barbie model, Russian model, solid model, etc., which is mostly named because of the similarity of the lips with such models. However, the best case is to inject natural and natural lip filler, which in addition to natural beauty can correct its disfigurement. Thanks to modern medical advances in the field of beauty treatments, lips can be highlighted, thus their appearance will be beautiful again.

Russian Lip Filler Injection Technique

This technique creates extra volume in the body of the lip with zero chance of scattering (the product is located above the lip). The result of this injection can appear in the form of a deliberate bulge or a completely natural fullness in a supermodel.

This process involves directing droplets of filler that are injected vertically into the lip, as opposed to filling lines below the lip border. This technique flattens lifts and opens the body of the lips without any exaggeration or deformity resulting from over-injection of the material.

Procedure of Lip Augmentation

During the initial consultation, your doctor will make a thorough assessment of your lips and the balance of your face. If lip augmentation surgery is right for you, it will give you advice according to your concerns and will determine the appropriate method for you to do this operation. Preoperative photographs will be taken and any potential risks or complications of the procedure will be discussed.

The treatment site is disinfected and cleansed. Local anesthesia may be used. To increase the accuracy and minimize damage to the lips, a small amount of filler is injected into the lip through a very thin needle. The method of injection depends on the doctor’s technique. Injection techniques should be carefully evaluated to avoid conditions such as excessive protrusion when viewed from the side or an increase in the vertical height of the lips when viewed from the front.

Depending on the structure and shape of your lips, you can adjust the amount of filler and the gel injection area on the lips. For example, many people believe that gels are injected directly into the lips, but gels are usually injected into the lip line to make it appear more prominent. Normally, an injection of about 0.5 to 1 ml of gel may be appropriate for an initial increase in lip volume. Injections of more than 1 ml are best for patients who want to increase the volume of their lips, and it is often best to do these two weeks after the initial injection. Depending on the treatment site, a massage position may be given. The injection site may be slightly red or swollen, which usually disappears within a few days.

One of the problems that 90% of people who have lip gel injections suffer from is that they get used to their face and feel that they have not changed. Therefore, you must have the image from the same angle before the injection and now.

Pre-Operative Care of Lip Augmentation

  1. Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, gelofen, and Advil), fish oil, vitamin E, and any vitamins or medications that increase your risk of bleeding for at least 10 days before injecting the filler.
  2. Be sure to check your medications (therapeutic, garlic, ginseng, vitamin or herbal) with your doctor so that you do not have any side effects.
  3. Do not consume alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours before injecting the gel. Alcohol increases the risk of bleeding and bruising.
  4. Do not do dental treatments (including scaling) for up to 2 weeks before gel injection.
  5. The gel injection is painless, but to prevent any pain or discomfort, you can take acetaminophen 1 hour before going to the clinic.
  6. On the day of the treatment session, go to the clinic with a clean face. Do not use cosmetics or moisturizing creams.
  7. Eat a light diet gel before injection.
  8. Bruising or swelling may occur between 24 and 48 hours after gel injection. Plan so that you do not have sports activities and do not participate in special events.
  9. If you have a history of herpes (herpes simplex virus), be sure to tell your doctor at a consultation. You may need to take medication to prevent herpes. Filler injections do not usually cause herpes, but prevention is always better than cure.
  10. Do not do lip injections during pregnancy and lactation.
  11. If you are allergic to gel ingredients or have neurological disorders, lip injections are not a good option for you.
  12. Filler injections should not be used concomitantly with laser rejuvenation procedures (such as endolift or hypnotherapy) in one place.

 

Post-Operative Care of Lip Augmentation

You will usually experience swelling and a slight bruising in the first few hours after the gel is injected. Try to pay attention to the following points in the first hours of filler injection:

 

  1. Apply a pack of topical ice and arnica to the treatment area. Bremlin and Arnica tablets are both natural supplements that help reduce bruising.
  2. If necessary, take acetaminophen to reduce pain.
  3. Avoid scratching, massaging or touching the injection site. These feelings are normal and go away in a few hours to a few days. Tell your doctor if these symptoms persist for more than 3 days.
  4. Avoid alcohol or strenuous exercise. These can lead to more bruising.
  5. Do not expose the treatment area to heat until the swelling and redness are completely gone. You should avoid sunbathing, tanning, going to the sauna, hot bath and waxing with hot wax.
  6. There is no problem in using sunscreen and makeup. Also, people should apply a gentle cleanser to their treatment areas.

 

See your doctor if you experience any of the following after injecting the filler

  • Fever or chills
  • Discoloration of the injected areas
  • Discoloration in un-injected areas
  • Heat, redness, severe or progressive pain at the injection site
