And you want, and prickly … It’s scary to do beauty injections, but the dream of seductive plump lips haunts you? Decide (or don’t), having learned the main thing from a professional cosmetologist.
Is lip augmentation a standard procedure?
A good cosmetologist never performs lip contouring “on the conveyor” and approaches each patient individually. Based on the characteristics of the face, the doctor selects one of the methods – it increases the projection (“opens” thin lips), increases the volume, corrects the shape, or emphasizes the contours. The choice of actions depends on the wishes of the girl and her data – for example, the shape of the circular muscle of the mouth, the thickness of the lips, or their density.
What are the possible complications after lip augmentation?
To begin with, I would like to additionally warn readers: in order to avoid risks, contact only professional cosmetologists! A qualified specialist will detect and eliminate complications in a timely manner or warn the patient about contraindications to this procedure.
Standard side effects – bruising and swelling immediately after the lip augmentation procedure – this is a normal phenomenon that disappears after a few days. But inflammation is a cause for concern. They may be the result of an infection or a reaction to an autoimmune disease, in which case you should immediately contact your doctor.
Sometimes patients experience fibrosis – a thickening caused by the growth of connective tissue and scarring. This happens when the body abruptly rejects the injected filler. If after 7-10 days the seals are preserved, contact a professional cosmetologist again – he will tell you how to solve the problem.
Some girls experience complications in the form of the formation of granulomas – small nodules that appear on the surface of the skin. Their insidiousness lies in the fact that they can “crawl out” weeks, months, or even years after contouring, being the result of the rejection of a foreign body (that is, a filler).
Also, fillers can “walk” on the lips – more than one girl faced the migration of the introduced composition by an incompetent doctor.
What is a “hyaluronic mustache” and why are they so scary?
The so-called “hyaluronic mustache” is a common aesthetic mistake after not entirely successful contouring. So, with an increase in the lips, their contour may be disturbed and asymmetry may occur. The reason is an increase in volume not in the mucosal region of the lips itself, but outside it. This negative effect is called “hyaluronic mustache”. To eliminate this complication and return the shape of the lips to its original state, drugs that absorb the gel (for example, language) are used. And already in the future, with an increase in the lips, a more suitable composition and technique for its introduction are selected.
Can I show the doctor “dream lips” and ask for the same?
Many patients, when choosing a lip shape, are guided by photographs of already completed work, which can be seen in the media space and social networks. A qualified specialist will not follow the lead of a capricious patient but will proceed from the features of his face. An important factor in lip augmentation is the preservation of natural features. For example, with an implicit (“weak”) chin, it is important to maintain the natural shape of the upper lip, since excessive use of the filler can create an imbalance. An important parameter for lip augmentation is also the distance to the nose. A good doctor takes this into account when determining the volume of the filler and choosing the technique for its introduction.
What lip shape is relevant today? What to focus on?
Among the many popular shapes, flat “bow lips” can be distinguished. However, not everyone can appreciate the nuances of the procedure and the parameters of their face to give this or another form that they like. That is why even an experienced cosmetologist cannot always complete the task – the reason is not in reluctance, but in the individual characteristics of the patient’s face.
Based on my 12 years of experience, I highly recommend that patients choose their own unique lip shape that will maintain healthy facial proportions and give the desired effect of the procedure. Therefore, if a cosmetologist warns you and offers you a more natural shape, listen – and get further aesthetic pleasure from the result!
How many sessions does it take to see the lips of your dreams?
The most effective result is achieved in several stages. During the first procedure, the gel thickens and forms the basis for further shaping of the lips. As a rule, two procedures are enough to achieve the desired result.
General rules for safe lip augmentation
- Choose only qualified cosmetologists;
- Check the quality of drugs – they must be from trusted manufacturers;
- When choosing the shape of the lips, proceed from your individual face parameters.
