All lip fillers. What you need to know about lip augmentation with fillers. Negative qualities of lip augmentation with filler

Lip shape is not ideal for everyone, so lip augmentation fillers are becoming more and more popular. They help to find the desired volume, but one should be very responsible in their choice. Plastic surgeons will help you choose the best option.

At the moment, the types of fillers have long gone off the scale for a hundred, but you should choose the best. Both cosmetologists and their clients identify the most popular drugs that work long enough and safely.

We'll tell you all about lip fillers below!

Filler selection

Such drugs are divided into biological and synthetic. Which filler is best for lip augmentation is decided by the client with the help of a beautician or plastic surgeon. But you should know that natural (or biological) fillers are safer. They are easily perceived by the body, evenly distributed under the skin, but after a fairly short period of time they cease to act.

Synthetic drugs, the list of which is also not small, are more durable. But they are not as safe as natural ones. And after some time, they can shift to another place, destroying the beautiful contour of the lips. This happens especially often if the client does not follow the prescriptions of the cosmetologist after the injection of fillers. It is not easy to choose the best from the already chosen one, but the doctor who will carry out the procedure will certainly offer several options, relying on the results already obtained and his own experience.

The choice of technique depends on the drug, and most importantly, the problem that needs to be solved. If it is small - small volume, no seductive swelling - use a surface technique. If the disadvantage is more serious, they prefer the internal one. You cannot enlarge your lips with the help of fillers - this is a job for professionals. One awkward movement can make the lower part of the face look very unsightly.

Important! Even with an excellent procedure, all the efforts of a cosmetologist can be reduced to zero if it is wrong to care for the lips after it. All doctor's recommendations should be followed.

In the first technique, an especially thin needle or cannula is inserted into the tissue by a couple of millimeters. This is enough for the injected filler to fill the desired area and lift the tissue. Then the results are compared. If lip augmentation is performed with fillers, the photo is taken both before and after the procedure, so that the patient himself can compare the results of the impact. When eliminating scars or asymmetries, it is necessary to inject the drug to a depth of 10 millimeters. This is done with a needle - so the flaw will be completely eliminated.

The filler injection technique is shown in detail in the video:

In 2017, both synthetic and natural preparations are used - each of them may have their own advantages and disadvantages. The main thing is their individual susceptibility to the body. Lip augmentation with filler is a simple operation, so the wrong choice can be fatal. There are favorite drugs that have won the trust of cosmetologists and their patients. The most popular of them are fillers of hyaluronic acid, which actively retains moisture, due to which the lips become elastic and seductive.

There are types made on the basis of calcium and phosphorus. They also take root well and have no side effects. Sometimes their own resources are used as a filler - the patient's own fat. But such a filler is completely short-lived. Polylactic acid, collagen and polycaprolactone are also gaining popularity. The latter is very effective and the effect obtained after injections is durable (up to 4 years). But it is mainly used for the most difficult cases.

This is the densest filler in the Juvederm family. A good option for correcting difficult cases, it is used not only for lips, but also for correcting the shape of the chin, as well as for general contouring of the face. It guarantees a long-lasting result, if used correctly, it practically does not give side effects. The composition contains an anesthetic that makes the injection almost painless.

Made in Germany, it is of high quality. It is also the densest gel in its line with a high content of hyaluronic acid. It is used to correct the shape of the lips, correct complex imperfections.

Both formulations contain high concentration of hyaluronic acid. They differ in decay rate, both natural. Made in France, they are effective for solving any cosmetic problem.

This is a whole line of fillers that contains polycaprolactone. It allows you to keep the result for a long time and at the same time does not give side effects, as it is perfectly perceived by the body. These fillers are highly effective and safe.

One of the safest synthetic fillers of French origin. It is well absorbed by the body, there are practically no cases of rejection, it gives a long-lasting result. It is considered very popular and recommended by plastic surgeons.

This drug is literally embedded in skin cells. Princess Volum is obtained using a special technology and is distinguished by a high content of hyaluronic acid, as well as a considerable level of digestibility. With Princess - a product for lip augmentation - they make the most seductive volume and strengthen the contour.

Plastic surgeons use this Korean drug when serious enough problems need to be solved. The high concentration of hyaluronic acid allows you to correct the shape of the lips even with the most difficult defects. He is enough competition even for French and German fillers.

An absolutely safe preparation based on polylactic acid. It stimulates the body to produce collagen and visibly rejuvenate the skin. It changes well and keeps the shape of the lips, it is perfectly perceived by the body. Virtually no side effects.

Highly concentrated gel based on hyaluronic acid. Viscous enough to correct lip irregularities and safe to be fully absorbed by the body. Popular with asymmetry and fading of the skin around the lips.

This is a line that solves problems such as small lips, loss of freshness, wrinkles and irregular shape. It is well accepted by the body, practically does not give side effects. A slight swelling goes away quickly, and the price is quite acceptable.

Filler price categories

Some people think that the best filler is very expensive, but firstly, the price is a subjective concept (each has its own concept of "expensive"). And, secondly, you can always choose an effective filler at the best cost. To do this, you should ask a plastic surgeon for advice. On average, lip augmentation drugs have the following prices:

Drug name	Syringe volume	Average filler cost (in USD)
	1 ml	270-300
	1 ml	300-320
Surgiderm 30 XP Surgiderm 24 XP Source	0.8 ml	280-300
	1.2 ml	350-500
	1 ml	190-200
	1 ml	160-180
	1 ml	210-220
	5 ml	OK. 250
	1 ml	210-220

Lip augmentation with fillers, as well as correction of their shape, is not the most expensive procedure. But with its help, you can return volume and youth to your lips, make them seductive and plump, and make their owner fashionable and attractive.

Fillers are preparations designed to fill the voids in the epidermis in order to increase the volume of the lips and cheekbones. Contour correction has become widespread among the owners of various birth defects (asymmetry, thinness, eversion). This technique allows you to correct the shape and size of the mouth in the first session.

Filler types

All fillers are divided into absorbable and non-absorbable.

Most often, doctors recommend using biodegradable drugs. They are safer to use, are rarely rejected by the body and have practically no contraindications. They, in turn, are divided into collagen and hyaluronic. Collagen includes:

The hyaluronic ones include:

List of insoluble fillers:

Arthrocol. This filler tops the list of the most affordable lip augmentation products. Some girls even buy it from pharmacies for sessions at home. The preparation contains propylene glycol, sodium balls, saline solution and excipients.
Paraffin. Surprisingly, it was previously used to fill voids. Now doctors are trying to abandon this technique, although there is a "specialist" in every city. The technique is classified as dangerous - there is a high probability of rejection of the material by the body.
This is a 5th generation Korean filler. Filler belongs to the combined. It contains active plant components, acids and silicones.

Which filler is best for lip augmentation

When choosing which filler is best for lip augmentation, you need to pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the types described above. Biological materials (Aespira, Filorga, Biomialvel) take root well, are rarely rejected and cause allergies only in case of individual intolerance. But they are considered short-lived. You will have to regularly sign up for corrections and monitor proper lip care.

Synthetic and combined materials are more practical in this regard. They last for a very long time and do not appear on their own. Correction is only needed if the desired lip shape has changed or the filler has moved to the side. But they have other disadvantages. A high percentage of rejection - up to 25%, a large number of side effects, difficulty in leaving.

Conventionally, in aesthetic cosmetology, there are two techniques for introducing fillers into the lips:

The master decides for himself in what cases to resort to internal or superficial techniques. We advise you to trust a specialist. A good beautician will be able to pick up an organic shape and volume by eye so that lips are like Jolie's, but do not turn into dumplings.

Let's consider how the increase in lip volume with the Overage filler goes:

To begin with, the skin is cleansed, any cosmetics are removed from the surface of the epidermis: lipstick, cream, tonal base. The treatment area is degreased.
A thick layer of anesthetic cream is applied to the lips. It is important to understand that it doesn’t hurt - it’s only very uncomfortable. But during the procedure, one awkward movement can nullify all the efforts of a specialist. Therefore, it is important to immobilize the piercing area. After using analgesic creams, the sensation of inserting the hyaluron is comparable to mosquito bites.
After that, the master waits 20 minutes and begins the procedure. To do this, he pulls back the lips to be treated and works out the contour. Only then fills in the voids in the base. Such actions are repeated until all flaws are corrected.
At the end of the procedure, a protective cream is applied to the skin.

After the end of the session, a slight swelling will be noticeable on the lips, it will disappear within 2 days.

Remember, this is a dangerous procedure, fraught with negative consequences. Lip augmentation with fillers cannot be done at home, especially on your own.

How to care?

First of all, at home you need to wash off the cream applied in the beauty parlor. It acts as a protective layer and is needed to prevent pathogenic bacteria from getting on damaged skin. For this:

Apply a regenerating compound to cleansed skin. It can be Bepanten or another suitable ointment. On the first day, simple ice will also help relieve the swelling. But it cannot be kept on the skin for a very long time - blood circulation will be disturbed. Apply compresses for a few minutes.

If you have a predisposition to the appearance of herpes, then it will not be superfluous to treat the skin with antiviral ointment for the first 3 days after the procedure. This can be Acyclovir, Gerpevir, or other suitable drugs.

What not to do after the procedure

Proper lip care after augmentation with fillers means full protection from the negative environment. It is forbidden:

Sleep on your stomach, lay your head face down, spend more than 1 minute with your head down.
Kissing is strictly prohibited. You will have to refrain from tenderness for 2 weeks.
Visit solariums, saunas and other places where temperatures are higher than a comfortable temperature of 25 degrees. Stop warming up in the infrared sauna for a while and cut back on daytime sunbathing.
If you decide to enlarge your lips, be prepared for the fact that you will not be able to swim for 2 weeks. It is even better to abolish even the washing procedure. Instead, wipe your lips with Chlorhexidine.

Also, doctors insist that for some time it will be necessary to change the lifestyle. In the first week after training, any physical activity is not recommended. Until the lips are completely tightened, you need to limit yourself in alcohol and try to exclude smoking.

Contraindications and complications

This procedure has its own contraindications. Be sure to check with your family doctor. Perhaps you have an individual drug intolerance. When lip augmentation is prohibited:

With exacerbation of chronic diseases. This is herpes, sinusitis, any diseases of the excretory or circulatory system.
During pregnancy and lactation. Here, the main danger lies in the introduction of infections into the body during the care process.
When diagnosing any inflammatory processes of connective tissues.
During an elevated temperature (over 38 degrees), in a state of alcoholic intoxication, during menstruation.
In case of fungal skin diseases, such procedures should also be avoided.

If properly cared for, then negative consequences occur very rarely. They are not manifested in prolonged swelling (more than 4 days), increased body temperature, activation of herpes, the appearance of scars and bruises. In some cases (for example, when a scar occurs) - the reason for the negative consequences lies in the low professionalism of the master. In all the other options listed, the fault lies only with the patient who did not adhere to the care instructions.

Before and after photos

You can not enlarge your lips with injections, but continue to treat them with a suction cup, use contour makeup and rub with red pepper. But the result in the photo speaks for itself. It is better to go through a session once and enjoy the beautiful shape and volume than to correct it every day with improvised means.

Beautiful plump lips are associated with sensuality and tenderness, so many girls are trying to achieve the "Jolie effect" by any means. Injecting fillers into the lips is the easiest and safest way to increase the volume of this part of the face without compromising health.

What it is

Fillers are preparations of animal or non-animal origin, which are injected into the lips in order to increase their volume, change their shape, etc. Hyaluronic acid, various synthetic additives, botox, fats and other preparations can be used as fillers.

Lip augmentation with fillers is performed in various situations:

If you need to raise the corners of the lips;
To increase the volume of the upper or lower part;
Creation of the desired shape, which has deteriorated as a result of injury or age-related changes;
To create a beautiful curvature of the nasolabial fold.

But this technique has certain contraindications... The administration of drugs should not be used during pregnancy, since they enter the bloodstream and can harm the growing fetus. It is not recommended to increase the volume with fillers for various viral diseases, as well as fungal diseases of the skin in the treatment area. Girls who suffer from allergies to certain drugs need to be especially careful.

Views

Lip fillers are categorized by the formulation that underlies them. Accordingly, there are these types of these funds:

On hyaluron;
Lipofillers or based on the patient's fat cells;
Biopolymer.

Most of the fillers that are now popular in the aesthetic services market are made based on hyaluronic acid... These are the brands Juvederm, Sujiderm and Restylane.

The advantages of the tool are its safety. Of course, individual reactions of the body to hyaluronic acid cannot be ruled out, but most often such a lip augmentation procedure takes place without any complications. In addition, you can remove lip filler with hyaluronic acid directly in the aesthetic surgeon's office. This is a very convenient service that you may need in case of an allergic reaction or if the effect is not as expected. By the way, it can be replaced by a regular hyaluronic-based cream (for example, HISTOMER Lip Reshaping Filler). It irritates the surface of the lips and contributes to their enlargement.

If you need to correct not only the lips, but also the nasolabial folds, then doctors recommend using lipofilling... This is a modern technique for transplanting fat cells from one area of the body to another. This technique will help get rid of wrinkles and folds in unnecessary places on the face, emphasize the hollow above the upper lip and solve the problem of insufficient volume. But the technique has serious drawbacks.

Photo - Before and after injections

Despite the fact that the effect lasts for more than 3 years, the patient rarely costs 1 procedure, it is necessary to go through 3 to 5 sessions to be sure that the fat deposits "take root" in the right place. In addition, there is always the possibility that the body will begin to reject the injected substance, which will cause tissue necrosis and other troubles. But the biggest problem is the solidification of the liposuction. Fat cells taken from another part of the body tend to harden faster, acquiring an ugly shape. Often after the procedure, balls form in the lips after filler. An important fact is that it will not be possible to artificially extract them, you will have to wait until they dissolve.

Modeling gel or biopolymer filler was very popular in the 90s - early 2000s. It allowed you to create any shape and increase the volume as you like, but it has a significant drawback - this tool is not excreted from the body. Correction can be performed every few years, but this procedure is also considered unsafe, since the gel from one part of the face can simply flow into another. On its way, it changes the shape of the outlines and deforms the nerve endings.

Although it also has certain advantages:

It turns out very dense, knocked down sponges;
You can make any shape, for example, lipofilling will not work that way, since the contour is still controlled by natural outlines;
Long lasting effect. They can only be removed artificially, but even in this case, many girls rarely resort to the technique, since after removing the gel, scars and irregularities remain. And if you stretch your lips too much, then the deformation of the tissues will be overly noticeable.

Introduction technique

It must be said right away that adding volume or raising the corners of the lips with filler is a very painful process. Moreover, the pain accompanies both during the correction and during the first weeks of using the new "sponges". At home, sessions are not carried out; they require not only an experienced specialist, but also complete sterility of the room.

Lip filler technique:

Before the start of the session, tests are carried out for the presence of allergies. If you have individual contraindications to any medications, then you must definitely tell your doctor about them. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia;
The introduction is carried out with very thin syringes or cannulas, which are selected according to the original size of the treated area and the preparation;
On average, a session lasts an hour, but sometimes a little more. After that, a soothing cream is applied and the patient goes home.

Contour plastic allows you to slow down the aging process, correct the shape and volume of different parts of the face, improve the overall appearance without surgery and the use of a scalpel. Patients are increasingly resorting to lip contouring, thereby getting rid of cosmetic imperfections and increasing the level of their attractiveness.

What

Cheiloplasty is a lip correction aimed at increasing their volume and raising the corners, changing the contour and getting rid of asymmetry.

The desired result can be achieved by injecting fillers under the skin - formulations made on the basis of hyaluronic acid.

At what age can you make a correction?

It is possible to change the shape and improve the contour at any age, especially when it comes to pronounced cosmetic defects, which it is advisable to correct early. But experts advise to resort to this kind of procedure after 18 years.

Age-related changes in the skin of the lips and around the mouth become noticeable after 30-35 years. The changes are more pronounced in men and women who smoke. At this age, correction of the volume and shape of the lips can be indicated, which will rejuvenate the appearance and give confidence to the patient.

Indications for surgery

It is carried out for women and men of any age. Indications for a cosmetic session are:

thin, narrow lips;
pronounced asymmetry;
dryness and flaking of the skin;
lowered corners;
folds and wrinkles around the mouth;
desire to change the natural shape of the lips.

All the pros and cons

The hyaluronic acid-based procedure has both advantages and disadvantages compared to other facial correction techniques.

Advantages:

No risk of rejection of the drug by the body, since hyaluronic acid is a "native" substance for facial tissues. The development of an allergic reaction is excluded.
The result is noticeable after the session and lasts for a long time.
The technique is safe and painless. The use of local anesthetics is allowed to minimize discomfort.
The recovery period takes several days. You can return to your usual life the next day, since bruises (if they arise) are easily masked with foundation.

Although there are few shortcomings, they also exist:

Swelling often occurs after the procedure. Many patients enjoy this side effect as the lips become even fuller and fuller. The swelling completely disappears in 5-7 days - depending on the drug and the individual characteristics of the organism.
As a result of needle damage to blood vessels, bruises can form in the area around the lips. They are small and easy to hide with a regular foundation. They pass on their own in a week.
The effect lasts for 6 to 14 months, depending on the drug used. Periodically, you need to carry out repeated contouring to maintain the effect.

Contraindications for use

The session is contraindicated in people with the following conditions:

oncological diseases;
pathology of blood or connective tissues;
epilepsy;
the presence of inflammatory foci in the area around the mouth - redness, acne, herpes, etc.;
all types of infectious diseases.

Preparations for lip contouring with fillers

Chemically, hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide. In its natural state, it is present in the tissues of the skin and actively promotes the processes of cellular regeneration of the epithelium, hydration, and an increase in the level of smoothness of the cover and its elasticity. It is a decrease in the amount of synthesis of such a polysaccharide that negatively affects the condition of the skin. The lips become dry, wither, become covered with fine wrinkles, lose elasticity.

Among the preparations made on the basis of hyaluronic acid, which are most often used in contour plastics, one can distinguish:


A drug	Manufacturer	average price	Restylane Lipp	Q-Med, Sweden	From 15 500 rub / 1ml	Juvederm (Juvederm Ultra Smile, Juvederm Ultra 4, Juvederm 30, Juvederm 30 HV)	Allergan, Ireland	From 10 500 rubles / 2x0.55ml	Princesses (Princess Filler, Princess Volume)	CROMA, Austria	From 9,000 rubles / 1ml	Surjiderm (Surgilips)	Corneal Group (part of Allergan), France	From 10 500 / 0.8ml	Teosyal Kiss	Teoxane, Switzerland	From 10,000 / 1ml

The above fillers are hypoallergenic and safe for patients' health. There is no discomfort with the introduction of the formulations, and the immune system does not give a negative reaction.

Lip contouring technique

To get the most effective result after the session, which will last for a long time, you need to adhere to the preparatory recommendations:

for seven days before the session, exclude the use of pharmaceuticals that reduce the level of blood clotting;
take antiviral medications for a week - Acyclovir, Valtrex, etc.;
conduct the text for individual hypersensitivity to the filler components;
do not consume alcoholic beverages 24 hours before the procedure and reduce physical activity.

Lip contouring carried out in stages:

The beautician works on the skin with an antiseptic composition.
A cream with an analgesic effect is applied to the lips. In some cases, this step is skipped if the filler already contains an anesthetic.
The filler is injected using a thin needle according to a special scheme.
At the end, the specialist massages the worked out areas, thereby contributing to the even distribution of the injected gel.

The depth of penetration of the needle in the process of lip contouring is 2-4 ml.

Operation or injection?

Choosing surgery or an injection procedure for lip correction is a question many patients ask. Both the first and second manipulations have both pluses and minuses, so the decision should be taken carefully. Thanks to the developments, it is possible, with the help of injections, to quickly and painlessly get the result for which previously it was necessary to use a surgical scalpel.

Injection lip plastics allows you to get the result immediately and keep it for about a year. Rehabilitation takes no more than seven days.

Contour correction with hyaluronic acid is safe, the main component does not provoke rejection. If something goes wrong and the patient does not like the result, the situation can be corrected by reintroducing the composition, which breaks down hyaluron and promotes its rapid elimination from the body. Or you can just wait and over time the filler will dissipate on its own.

The operation requires long-term rehabilitation. The result obtained will be more difficult to correct. It is worth resorting to this method in cases where the patient needs to undergo a more complex lip correction, that is, when the desired result cannot be obtained thanks to injections alone.

Despite the fact that rehabilitation after lip contouring is short-lived, there are still a number of recommendations that must be followed during the post-procedural period:

you can quickly get rid of puffiness and bruises with the help of a special cream, which the doctor will advise;
if there are recommendations to take antibiotics to avoid the development of inflammatory processes;
be sure to visit a beautician for a repeated scheduled examination.

How long does the result last

The effect after a session of lip contouring can last from six months to one and a half years. How long the result will last depends on many factors, the main of which are:

composition of the drug, the concentration of hyaluronic acid in it;
individual characteristics of the patient's body.

It has been observed that hyaluron is retained longer in those people who drink a lot of water, since acid has the property of attracting liquid to itself.

What not to do after contouring

visit the pool;
sunbathe in the sun and in a solarium;
stay in the bath and sauna.

The following recommendations will help to avoid post-procedural complications:

During the first 24 hours, try to minimize the activity of the facial muscles, do not open your mouth too much, so as not to provoke the displacement of the injected filler.
Do not use cosmetics for one or two days, do not apply makeup. The exceptions are those formulations that were recommended by the cosmetologist.
Sleep on your back so as not to rub the worked area on the pillow.
Do not fly in an airplane for the first 15 days.
Apply sunscreen during summer.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages and spicy foods for 7 days.

Side effects and complications

Despite the general safety of lip contouring, complications and unpleasant side reactions from the body may occur in rare cases. These include:

Seals. If the beautician distributes the filler unevenly under the skin, then hard areas that look like balls or bumps can form. Also, the reason may be that the filler was not inserted as deeply as it should have been. You should not worry about this, as the seals disperse on their own within 5-7 days.
Bruises. This phenomenon often occurs after a contouring session. The problem sometimes lies in the excess amount of filler injected. But even more often this occurs due to damage to small vessels in the area of treatment with a needle during a puncture. You can try applying ice to speed up recovery, or using a pharmacy ointment recommended by your beautician.
Puffiness. Lip contouring is often accompanied by swelling. The degree of manifestation of edema depends on the drug and on the places of administration of the composition. The reaction goes away on its own within a few days. You can speed up the process with cold compresses.

Almost all adverse reactions in organisms are reversible and short-lived. The appearance usually returns to normal within 5-7 days.

How to remove a filler if something goes wrong

In some cases, situations may arise when the result of cheiloplasty differs from the expected one. Serious consequences are extremely rare. It:

filler migration - displacement to the cheekbones or chin, as well as deformation of the lips;
seals that do not dissolve for a long time;
low viscosity filler clogged a blood vessel;
scar formation;
an infection was brought in.

If any of these manifestations is noticed, you should immediately consult a cosmetologist in order to avoid further development of complications, necrosis (necrosis) and tissue scarring. The specialist will be able to quickly remove the hyaluronic filler by injecting the enzyme hyaluronidase under the skin. The correction session is painful but effective.

Over the past several centuries, the beauty industry has been trying to answer the question of how to preserve female beauty without harming health. The safest and most effective methods of maintaining the oval of the face, getting rid of wrinkles and giving elasticity to the skin are constantly emerging. One of the latest achievements of scientists in this direction is fillers involved in lip augmentation.

What is it?

Fillers are preparations of plant or animal origin injected into the lips to increase their volume and shape. Such a tool can be: botox, hyaluronic acid, synthetic additives, fats, etc.

Lip augmentation with fillers is performed in different situations:

to lift the corners of the lips;
to give a beautiful shape to the nasolabial fold;
to increase the volume after an injury.

Varieties of funds

Filler- a gel-like preparation used for filling cosmetic injections. The word itself comes from the English "to fill", meaning "to fill." The use of these drugs is considered a unique replacement for contouring surgical face plastics, since they are able to eliminate wrinkles of any size, smooth the skin of the face, and change the shape of the lips. You can verify this by looking at the photos before and after the procedure.

Depending on their duration of action, drugs are divided into three categories:

Synthetic- made on the basis of highly purified silicone. After injections, they remain at the injection site for several years. Among their advantages, one can note an affordable cost, but possible allergic reactions, pigmentation and inflammation act as a disadvantage. When the drug is displaced from the injection site, it can only be removed surgically.

Biocompatible drugs are also divided into three subspecies:

Combined preparations - consist of biological and synthetic components. They stay on the lips and other parts of the body much longer. Examples before and after the enlargement procedure can be seen in the photo.

Popular modern drugs - fillers

Modern lip fillers are most often used from the category based on hyaluronic acid. The most common of them are:

Contraindications to drugs and possible complications

Specialists are not advise to influence the body, including lips, if a woman is sick with cancer, blood diseases and a systemic disease of the connective tissue. Also contraindications include epilepsy, a recent infectious disease, pregnancy and lactation. If there are redness and rashes in the area of the lips, the procedure should be postponed.

Most common complication Allergic reaction, hematomas and hyperemia that occur in the presence of fillers in the lips during the first week. An example of such complications are photos on the Internet, reflecting the state before and after the lip augmentation procedure. Puffiness after changing the contour of the lips is formed very often, but disappears within a few days.

More distant complications are the formation of seals, age spots, gel migration, and the development of infection. Vascular ischemia and vascular occlusion are very rare. If you do not pay attention to the problem, necrosis with scarring of the tissues can develop.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Fillers

Like any cosmetic procedure, the introduction of this drug has its own pros and cons.

Among the undoubted advantages, I would like to highlight:

Disadvantages of using fillers:

Short-term effect. The safest lip products based on hyaluronic acid last up to six months, and then the session must be repeated.
Lip augmentation silicone products have multiple side effects, such as frequent migration and permanent storage under the skin. You can see possible changes in the photo before and after the procedure.
The use is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation, the presence of chronic diseases in an acute form, inflammation of the lips and other places for the administration of the drug.

What is the difference between botox, mesotherapy or filling?

Each of these procedures is a "beauty shot" aimed at eliminating the imperfections of the skin and lips, however, the preparation mechanism before the procedure and the actions after it are different.

Fillers for contour plastics

Botox is a drug that breaks the nerve-muscle connections, and therefore mimic wrinkles gradually begin to smooth out. The injection procedure is one-time, and the result can be seen immediately. This technique only helps to smooth the skin without changing its condition.

Mesotherapy used to improve the condition of the epidermis and increasing its tone. The process is a subcutaneous injection of a "cocktail" of different active elements. They help to strengthen and narrow blood vessels, including on the lips, and improve microcirculation. This technique affects the skin with ten sessions with a break a week, but the effect lasts for a very long time.

Filling- is considered a kind of intermediate solution. Fillers do not affect muscle function, but they have a beneficial effect on the condition of the epidermis and smooth wrinkles, including those above the lips. The result will become noticeable after a week, when the puffiness subsides. One of the main conditions for the high-quality administration of the drug is the choice of a good clinic and doctor. The clinic must have certificates allowing work in this direction, and cosmetologists must have a professional medical education.
