Lip shapes depending on the technique of enlargement

Juicy, puffy and neat lips are the standard of beauty and femininity. Women have long been using various cosmetics for lip augmentation, for example, with the help of contour, gloss and lipstick. But, I want to fix the result for a long time and not to resort to dreary make-up daily.

The procedure for enlarging the lips and changing their shape is one of the most popular and often ordered in surgery and cosmetology. There are several correction methods, so you can choose the most suitable for you. You can also choose the desired shape of the lips. How to do this and what should be preferred if you decide to take such a step - read the article.

Which lip shape to choose?

The thickness of our lips depends on the amount of loose connective tissue, the shape on the genetics and circular muscles of the mouth. These two characteristics are individual for each. In most cases, the upper lip protrudes in front and slightly covers the lower lip. In general, in combination with facial expressions, lips participate in the formation of facial expressions.

There are visual defects in the shape of the lips, which, either for aesthetic reasons or for physical standards, make it difficult to feel like a full-fledged attractive woman. These include: very large lips or “macroheilia”, very small lips - “microheilia”, or sunken lips - “opistoheilia”, etc. Typically, such defects are indications for correction.

Very often, women are asked to make an exact copy of the lips of their star idols. The most common character is Angelina Jolie. Of course, specialists can make the same lips, but not the fact that they will look harmoniously on the patient's face. For each woman, the most approximate type is selected. It is necessary to assess the situation soundly and listen to the advice of a cosmetologist or surgeon.

There are several basic lip styles. Your surgeon or cosmetologist may have their own names for these trends, but the essence of this does not change. The main thing is to choose the one that will suit your facial features in the aggregate.

“Classic” lips - that is, normal. They are also called the "bow of Venus." They have a distinct contour and are uniform in width.

“Ruby” or “Sexy Lips” - These are juicy and voluminous lips. The maximum natural volume is given to the upper and lower lips. Suitable only for those women whose distance from the base of the nose to the chin is large.

Lips in the style of “cupid or“ cupid arc ” - This is a clear line of the upper lip with a clear indentation in the middle.

Pearl Lips - This style emphasizes the contour and volume of the lower lip, due to which they become tender and sensual.

French lips - This is one of the most popular forms. The task of the procedure, due to the closest approximation to the natural “swelling” of the upper lip, is to give sensuality to the image. It turns out the sponge “bow” or O-shaped.

Angel lips - This shape resembles the wings of an angel.With the correction procedure, the side borders of the upper lip are made more clear. Suitable for patients with a voluminous central part of the upper lip and narrowed on the sides.

“Mona Lisa” - the essence is to give a slight swelling of the lips and raising the corners of the mouth.

Lip Enlargement Methods

Now in the market of cosmetic services you can find the most suitable, individual and convenient lip correction technique. The most popular lip correction methods are described below. They differ not only in technical performance, but also in terms of visual effect, as well as cost.

Injection

The non-surgical technique consists in replenishing the volume and isolating the lip contour using injections of biocompatible fillers or, in other words, fillers. For the most part, it is a gel based on hyaluronic acid or patient's fat cells (lipofilling). Such a technique is simple to perform and with minimal possible complications, as well as with the effect of biorevitalization. Filler injections can create almost any shape and thickness of the lips.

Previously, a biopolymer filler (silicone) was intensively introduced. Today, this is no longer in fashion, since it is only removed surgically and there are a lot of deformations that ultimately disfigure the appearance.

In order to fill the selected lip shape with filler, multiple lip chipping is used. Each puncture involves the injection of a drug. Also, there is a method of administering the drug through the cannula through a thin needle. A cannula is placed through a single puncture, which spreads the tissues inside and allows you to distribute the drug.

Used for such procedures are mainly such popular fillers as:

• Yuviderm;
• Restylane;
• Princesses
• Theosial;
• Surjiderm.

One of the positive aspects of the injection technique is a quick recovery, and if only the contour of the lips without filling is corrected, then the recovery period is practically absent. Usually after two or three days there is no trace left.

Several procedures are required for the visible effect. One cycle consists of 3 procedures. Conduct 1 procedure every 3-4 weeks. A second course is carried out after six months. The price range for such procedures ranges from 7 thousand rubles. up to 30. It all depends on the cost of the selected drug, zone and method of correction and clinic.

The standard procedure is as follows. The procedure for correction of lips by injection can be carried out by a regular cosmetologist. The result depends on the qualifications and individual reactions of the patient. Side effects can occur, but the advantage of hyaluron-based drugs is that they can be quickly removed from the body.

Lipofilling

Lipofilling also refers to an injection technique for lip correction, only in this case the patient's fat cells are used. This procedure compares favorably with the previous one with even fewer possible side effects, since the body's own organic material is not rejected by the body. But, it all depends on the correct procedure and the professionalism of the surgeon.

This procedure is not carried out by a cosmetologist, since medical knowledge and preparation are required in order to extract fat cells from the areas of the thigh, abdomen or buttocks. The resulting adipose tissue is treated, cleaned and given the desired consistency for insertion into the lips.

The recovery period is slightly longer than the procedure with hyaluronic drugs and takes from a week to two. It will also take about 2 to 3 procedures. But the result remains much longer - from 2 to 5 years. The price range ranges from 15 thousand rubles. up to 30.

Threadlifting

Treadlift is a procedure for installing mesothreads on the lips.Mesonity is a complex lip correction technique. This technique is quite painful, even given local anesthesia. They are usually corrected for serious defects that are not amenable to injection adjustment. Such defects include age-related changes in shape when the nasolabial triangle and corners of the mouth drop, and small net wrinkles appear above the lips and directly on them. Also, threadlifting is indicated if the lips are extremely thin.

With the help of mesothreads, they lift the corners of the mouth, tighten the cheeks and nasolabial triangle, and eliminate small wrinkles above the lips. Recovery can last from 2 weeks to a month. Also, a few days will be accompanied by pain, swelling, bruising or bruising. The result of this procedure lasts from one to three years - it depends on the doctor who performed the reinforcement operation, and on the selected mesothreads. The cost of the procedure ranges from 10 to 20 thousand rubles, depending on the selected reinforcement zone.

Electroporation

Hardware lip correction (electroporation) helps to correct the shape, as well as strengthen and rejuvenate the tissue. In order for the result to be noticeable, it is necessary to undergo a course of procedures, and maintain the result at least once every 3-4 months with a second course.

Electroporation with hyaluronic acid using a high-frequency pulse current opens the channels of cell membranes for a short period of time. It was at this time that hyaluronic acid penetrates directly into the cell. This procedure is painless. The course consists of 8-10 procedures. The result is stored from six months to a year, depending on the age and type of skin. The cost can range from 10 to 50 thousand rubles.

Cheiloplasty

Surgical lip correction or cheiloplasty is not a very popular technique. It is used when a person has obvious defects that cannot be corrected without resorting to surgery.

The surgical method for correcting the shape of the lips has a huge number of contraindications, as well as long-term recovery and frequent complications.

The average cost can range from 25 thousand rubles. up to 50-60 thousand rubles. Again, it all depends on the area, complexity and clinic. The result is achieved in one operation and lasts for 5-10 years. Surgical correction involves three methods, which are described below.

Operation Bullhorn involves tightening the upper lip. During the operation, a decrease in the height of the skin above the upper lip is performed. With the help of incisions under the base of the nasal septum and the wings of the nose, the skin is pulled over and, due to this, the upper lip is lifted. Since the cuts are made along natural folds, after resorption they will be almost invisible.

VY plasticsincrease lip volume. To do this, the surgeon on the surface of the mucosa makes several incisions in a V-shape. The tissues are redistributed, which increases the width and volume and, in the desired formed state, are sutured in a Y-shape. Such manipulations are performed on the upper and lower lip, depending on the indications.

Corner lift aimed at lifting the corners of the lips. Tissues are dissected above the corners of the upper lip, which directs the line up, and are fixed with seams.

Lip implants synthetic (silicone) or bioimplants are used. They represent strips ready for installation. In the corners of the mouth, incisions are made and tunnels are laid through which the implants are pulled and distributed. Then stitches are applied. The disadvantage of this procedure can be considered unnatural pallor afterwards. The result of changing the shape of the lips is life-long, but after six months, the implants grow into soft tissues and the effect of lip augmentation decreases.

As for bioimplants, recently, to avoid scars in areas where fatty tissue is extracted, AlloDerm material is used. It is a non-synthetic material of the cell-free basis of the dermis.The cell-free base grows into soft tissue and provokes the active reproduction of cells and the population of the “base”. It turns out the frame, which is overgrown with new tissue. AlloDerm injection method has already been developed, but so far it is at the research and testing stage.

Popular lip shapes

Fashion dictates to us not only the color of hair, clothing styles, the shape and color of nails, but also the shape of the lips, as well as the techniques for their implementation. The most popular lip shapes include the following:

• Lips "Angelina Jolie" or "Angelic". To make them, cosmetologists use a linear technique with uniform filling of contours. The drug is administered in small doses along the borders of the red border. Lips acquire clear boundaries and increase. Visually, the effect of uniform swelling is obtained like that of the famous actress.
• “Sexy lips” suggest a complete correction of shape and volume. The cosmetologist uses two methods - a bolus injection and a linear retrograde technique. The bolus technique involves deep immersion of the needle and the introduction of the drug in a large volume. With the linear retrograde technique, the needle is inserted into the skin the entire length at an angle of 30-40 degrees parallel to the skin, during the exit of the needle the space is filled with the drug. That is, the drug is evenly distributed when the needle moves. Work linearly or perpendicularly. The use of this technique gives juicy, voluminous and expressive lips.
• “Hollywood” combine linear and bolus techniques. Here they are trying to more clearly highlight the “Cupid's arch” and add natural swelling.
• “French ” cosmetologists create using the linear-perpendicular injection of the drug, while the center of the lips is worked out, and the corners do not touch. This is a very popular method. The image of the girl is natural and sensual.
• Lips "Mona Lisa" - These are elevated corners, thanks to which the whole face is transformed. In this case, the drug is introduced by the “fan” technique into the fat pack under the lower lip.

Lip care after enlargement

In the procedure for lip augmentation and correction, it is important to correctly place emphasis and choose the shape, size, width and height that will suit exactly your features and type. It is also worth understanding that it is important to conduct an adequate lip augmentation and not to resort to procedures often. Even microtraumas in large quantities can cause irreparable harm, such as fibrosis.

It is important to carry out procedures with specialists with certified materials. To avoid side effects and unpleasant consequences, it is recommended to properly care for your lips after the correction.

Care involves:

• To remove the swelling that accompanies almost all corrective procedures, you need to use moisturizing and nourishing creams;
• Simply compresses or chamomile cold compresses will help remove bruises and bruises;
• If bumps have formed, then an acupressure is needed. Can be massaged with a toothbrush;
• If herpes or inflammation has appeared, then a doctor’s consultation is necessary. An antifungal or antiviral ointment (eg, acyclovir) is usually prescribed;
• In order to restore lips faster and become velvety, you can lubricate them with honey for 20-30 minutes;
• It helps to moisturize the lips during the rehabilitation period with butter or olive oil.

After the bruises and swelling subside, use gentle peeling 1-2 times a week, as well as nourishing masks. It is necessary to use a nourishing and moisturizing cream, or hygienic lipstick in case of sharp temperature changes.
