Many girls dream of full lips. And not always to achieve such a goal, you can only turn to plastic surgery... What do the lips shake with? Collagen is used to enlarge the skin around the mouth, botox is injected into the lips, pumping with hyaluronic acid, collagen is also used. Previously most commonly used lip silicone, it is currently not as popular.
Collagen application
It must be remembered that it is impossible to do such procedures and pump lips at home. V in this case you need to trust the specialists. Before the beautician pumps up the mouth with a collagen base, it is necessary to discuss all the details of the procedure, all the wishes and preferences of the client.
After that, the specialist makes an anesthetic injection for the lips. Then he injects collagen into the tissue. A qualified specialist usually carries out such a procedure for about half an hour. After such injections, edema may appear, but they pass quickly. After the master injects collagen, he conducts light massage for the lips, due to which the preparations quickly connect with the internal tissues. It is very important. For many women, this method is the most suitable because collagen does not cause discomfort. This is due to the fact that collagen is a natural filler that is present in the human body.
To prevent the occurrence of herpes after the specialist has pumped up the lips, it is recommended to take herpevir or acyclovir in advance for several days. A week after collagen has been injected, do not eat hot meals and drinks, avoid mechanical damage and kisses. The effect after the procedure lasts well for six months, after which a correction will be required. After a second injection, the drugs last longer and better.
Using botox
In addition to collagen, you can also pump your lips with Botox. This alternative method correction of their shape and size. Also, using Botox, you will remove fine wrinkles around the mouth, you can raise the corners. Botulinum toxin provokes paralysis of the muscle structures into which it was pricked. Therefore, after such a procedure, the muscles will be immobilized for several days.
Most often, such drugs are used in aesthetic medicine, not for augmentation. It helps to lift corners, eliminate wrinkles, get rid of asymmetry. Such drugs are injected into the circuit or in the center by means of special insulin syringes, which are equipped with a thin needle. Therefore, this procedure is practically painless.
In addition, botulinum toxin is injected shallowly into the tissues; the time of the procedure depends on the number of points introduced.
Silicone application
Currently, such drugs are not as popular as they were five years ago. The advantage of this option is that the lips inflated with silicone last for a long time, the silicone does not dissolve after a while. But negative side the procedure is that silicone is a foreign body, which after a while can provoke inflammatory processes.
After the introduction of silicone into the tissues, certain substances are produced in the body, around which collagen structures are formed, due to which an intensive increase in the shape of the lips is ensured. It is impossible to enlarge lips in this way at home, you should trust the professionals to avoid unpleasant consequences and complications. Is it worth risking your health by turning to unverified masters, if the result is unsuccessful, the consequences are shocking.
Hyaluronic acid gel
Such gels as surzhiderm, juvederm, perline contain hyaluronic acid in their composition. The drugs have a quality certificate, so they are reliable and safe. The procedure is performed using an anesthetic cream that reduces sensitivity. All manipulations are quick, after the injections, the tissues are quickly restored.
In addition to increasing the volume, the contour of the lips is corrected. It is drawn before injections, after which injections are performed.
Application of biopolymer fillers
Substances such as Dermalife, Matridur are non-absorbable. They are composed of hyaluronic acid and synthetic substances. Negative point is that the body's response to such substances can be the most unpredictable and in each case is different. Therefore, manufacturers often mix biopolymer fillers with hyaluronic acid or silicone to prevent complications and unpredictable reactions.
There is a certain risk when using such substances. For several years, negative reactions may be absent, but in the future there is a danger of drug migration into lower jaw and scar formation. The drug is administered after preliminary anesthesia. Since this procedure has many disadvantages, many specialists prefer to use only temporary gels, as opposed to biopolymer ones.
Features of lipolifting
The lipolifting procedure consists in injecting the client's own fatty tissue into the lip tissue. Such a substance is taken from one place (more often from the abdomen, buttocks or thighs), transplanted to another place. In this case, only your own fatty tissue is suitable. This procedure should only be performed by an experienced, highly qualified surgeon as it is quite complex.
The main advantage of this method is its safety, lack of allergic reactions, the risk of rejection and all kinds of negative reactions, since there is no introduction of a foreign body into the tissue. Adipose tissue taken by means of a special tool, outwardly it resembles a syringe. After taking the material, it is purified from blood fluid and tissue fibers, and is injected into the lips. Before the injection, the specialist discusses the client's wishes. All manipulations are performed using local anesthesia... The patient feels pain only when an anesthetic is injected, all other manipulations do not cause painful sensations, a slight pressure can be felt.
During the lipolifting procedure, the surgeon uses the fan method - he injects fat in small doses, distributing them evenly. Nowadays, lipolifting is not used very often for lip augmentation. This is due to poor engraftment of fatty structures, if used local anesthesia... And if general anesthesia is used, it is impossible to inject the material evenly.
Most often, clients of cosmetologists and surgeons choose such methods of augmentation and correction of the lip contour as the introduction of Botox, hyaluronic acid and collagen. The safest are two latest methods, since they are practically not rejected by the body, do not provoke the development of allergic reactions, do not affect muscle structures.
All girls dream of amazing full lips like Angelina Jolie or Halle Berry. The most daring decide on lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid and other drugs.
Other famous Hollywood stars who have injected include Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian, Meg Ryan, Nicole Kidman.
Many of them are examples of how you can go overboard with lip pumping. In this matter, the rule of "less is more" is unshakable.
There is even a special portal (www.celebcosmeticsurgery.com) that tells how unnaturally plump lips can ruin the image of a world famous celebrity.
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular drugs, but not the only one. There are also hyaluronic acid-based intradermal fillers. Silicone as a material for insertion into the lips is no longer so popular now, but such an operation is feasible if the client wishes. Botox is used to reshape the lips, but not volume.
Lip augmentation is possible using methods such as:
- cheiloplasty;
- lipofilling;
- contour plastic.
Any augmentation procedure begins with the client's choice future shape and size. You can focus on photographs or think over your design. One way or another, all the details should be discussed with the master. Lip pumping is not so difficult, it is much more difficult to be satisfied with the result. 
During the procedure, you can ask him to periodically show the results in the mirror. Under this condition, the injection of hyaluronic acid can be stopped at the right time. After all, it is believed that only one milligram of the substance is sufficient to enlarge the lips to medium size.
How is the procedure going in the salon?
After all the nuances regarding the shape of the lips have been discussed, the client lies down on the couch and completely surrenders himself into the hands of the master. The master must definitely warn that at the very beginning he gives anesthesia with injections. There can be a maximum of two: in the upper and lower lip... Sometimes only one injection is given. 
The hyaluronic acid preparation is injected into the lips when they lose sensitivity. The anesthesia will make it difficult for you to speak and, in principle, just move your lips. A professional is able to perform the operation in 25-30 minutes.
Many women are afraid to give such injections, as they fear the appearance of swelling on the lips. But you should know that it decreases very quickly, and the result can be seen very soon.
Some masters advise wiping lips with chlorhexidine to eliminate swelling. After the procedure, a light massage of the lips is performed: this is done so that the injected preparation connects with their inner tissue. It is imperative to provide such a connection. 
Many women enlarge their lips with this drug very often, therefore, they note a kind of addiction and lack of discomfort. Not everyone knows that hyaluronic acid is found in the human body, which is why it is a natural filler. In order not to cause the appearance of herpes from trauma to the lips, many masters advise taking acyclovir for several days before the procedure. Very hot drinks, food, kissing, and any other unnecessary lip anxiety are prohibited for the week following surgery.
Hyaluronic acid molecules have a special structure that affects the binding of water molecules in the body. Therefore, sometimes it accumulates at the injection sites. In this case, a correction is needed.
After the introduction of hyaluronic acid, the result remains unchanged for six months to a year, and then the lips take their normal appearance. And yet this does not happen in one day: it is just that the lips seem to deflate after six months. With the next lip augmentation, the effect may last a little longer.
Botox
An alternative to lip reshaping with hyaluronic acid is Botox injections. Moreover, this drug is not used to increase the lips themselves, but only to smooth out small wrinkles in the labial area. Botox or botulinum toxin causes paralysis of the muscles in which it is injected. Therefore, the mouth from such an operation will be absolutely immobilized.
Photo: botox on the lips That is why it is used for aesthetic medicine purposes, not lip augmentation. They can correct the shape of the lips: raise the corners, eliminate asymmetry. Opinion that injection of this drug can increase the volume of the lips is mistaken.
Photo: special syringe for botox There are operations that involve the use of and. However, only hyaluronic acid is responsible for adding volume to the lips. Botox surgery does not cause pain.
There are two possible options injection of the drug: in the lip contour, or in the very center. To inject Botox, the master uses special insulin syringes with very thin needles. This is the reason why the client practically does not feel pain.
It should be added that the drug is injected completely shallowly into several points on the lips: the time of the procedure also depends on this. The number of such points can be from 4 to 6. The duration of the session is about half an hour.
It is worth mentioning that not only women, but men who do not like the shape of the lips or the resulting wrinkles around them, turn to the services of specialists in the use of Botox.
Silicone
This procedure was at its peak of popularity about 5 years ago. The advantage of this method is that the silicone, after being injected into the lips, does not dissolve over time. But this is only on the one hand. And if you look from the other, then silicone is still a foreign body that can cause inflammation.
When it is introduced into the lips, certain substances begin to be produced in the human body, and collagen fibers are formed around it.
Thanks to this reaction of the body, a very strong increase in the lips occurs.
Experts recommend injecting a small amount of silicone for the first time, since the reaction to it is individual and often unpredictable. Therefore it cannot be called ideal drug for lip augmentation: in unsuccessful cases, the results of plastic surgery can be simply shocking.
Hyaluronic acid gels
Photo: silicone lip augmentation Currently, such drugs as Juvederm, Perline, Teosial, Surzhiderm, Restylane are known.
All of them are formulated on the basis of hyaluronic acid. Such drugs are certified, which means that their reliability and safety has been verified.
Lip augmentation with gel is considered a non-surgical procedure. And for pain relief, experts use a cream that reduces sensitivity. It is the speed of the procedure and easy recovery after injections that distinguish lip augmentation with gel from surgical methods.
All injection methods are contour plastics. In addition to increasing the volume of the lips, there is also a change in their contour. A new lip contour is drawn before the operation itself, and then the gel is injected.
Biopolymer fillers
Such gels are called non-absorbable. They include synthetics mixed with hyaluronic acid or in pure form. It should be noted that the body's response to such fillers can be unpredictable. Very often, manufacturers add silicone or hyaluronic acid to gels, hoping to avoid complications.
The danger of pumping lips with artificial fillers is that you can walk with them for 3-5 years without complications, and then observe the migration of the drug into the lower jaw. There is also always a risk of scarring.
Biopolymer gels include drugs such as:
- Matridex;
- Matridur;
- Dermalife.
Inserting them into the lips is painless due to anesthesia. Due to significant shortcomings, many doctors are now switching to work only with temporary gels and abandoning biopolymer ones.
Restylane is a safe, resorbable stabilized hyaluronic acid implant of non-animal origin. You can read all about this in the article.
V Lately, Botox injections in the forehead has become extremely popular as it is effective and safe method in order to quickly and permanently get rid of wrinkles. ...
Lipofilling
This method involves injecting the client's own fat into the lips. The material is taken from one place and transplanted to others: only your own fat is suitable. Such an operation must be performed by a highly qualified surgeon, since it is quite complex. And the advantage is that the method is safe and absolutely does not cause allergies, rejection and other side effects... After all, a foreign body is not introduced into the body.
The fat is removed using a special instrument resembling a syringe. After that, the material is cleaned of blood and tissue fibers and injected into the lips. Before the operation itself, the surgeon discusses the desired result with the patient. The operation is performed under local anesthesia.
Everything painful sensations only at the time of anesthesia. All other manipulations are felt by the client as ordinary touching. When performing the lipofilling procedure, the "fan" method is used, that is, the fat is injected in small droplets and very evenly.
Today lipofilling is not very popular as a lip augmentation procedure. Fat cells do not take root well with local anesthesia. When surgeons began to use general anesthesia, it became impossible to achieve an even distribution of fat on the lips.
When the cells do not take root, they die. Therefore, doctors often add more fat than necessary. Because of all this, it can be difficult to determine the future shape of the lips. Prolonged swelling of the lips finally pushed this method of lip augmentation to the background.
Electroporation
Currently, few people have heard of this procedure. And not all beauty salons offer it, because electroporation appeared quite recently. This method works very simply: a special gel is applied to the skin of the lips, which the cosmetologist acts on with the help of an apparatus.
Photo: lip augmentation by electroporation The operation of the apparatus is based on electrical impulses... Wherein active substance penetrates the lips to a depth of 1-2 mm. The method is truly magical for people with increased sensitivity, who would never dare to inject the gel with a syringe, and even more so on a surgical effect.
The increase in the volume of the lips in this way is due to the preparation of hyaluronic acid. And thanks to the device for electroporation, you can rejuvenate your lips, smooth out small wrinkles on them. Nutrient cocktails can also be applied to the lips to prevent the signs of skin aging.
Cheiloplasty
Cheiloplasty allows you to enlarge the lips, as well as get rid of defects in this area. It is reconstructive cheiloplasty that can eliminate the consequences of injuries.
As with other methods, surgeons use general or local anesthesia... This plastic belongs to surgical methods, that is, cuts of a certain shape are made on the lips.
At the end of the procedure, the lips are closed with a suture. Essentially, a surgical enlargement of the red border of the lips is performed. And the seams remain hidden on inside lips, so they are not visible.
Photo: before and after cheiloplasty The entire length of the lips or only the central part is increased: this depends on the number of incisions and the client's wishes. A hospital stay is not necessary. But the lips will ache for the first two weeks after surgery. Puffiness will also be observed.
Then, numbness occurs within 2-3 months. The same time is needed for the scar to heal and become invisible. At proper care and the anti-aging program, the result of cheiloplasty lasts for life.

Before and after photos
Photos before and after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
To appreciate the effect of lip augmentation, many clients take before and after photos. On them you can clearly see the difference between old lips and new ones. And also many clinics that have websites on the Internet display such photos for everyone to see. This is the best proof of a professional's work.
So, it is safe to say that voluminous lips are at the height of fashion. Surgeons and cosmetologists always have an influx of clients. However, now the scalpel is no longer popular. He is competing with hyaluronic acid injections (fillers). Therefore, why not entrust this question to a specialist in order to simply correct a small flaw in nature?
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is one of the most demanded procedures in cosmetology. With its help, it is possible to return the shape to the lips, which has been lost as a result of age-related changes, and also to make this part of the face more voluminous and seductive.
With the help of hyaluron, a substance similar to that produced by the human body, it is possible to change the shape of the lips in a non-surgical way. The procedure is practically painless, safe, and the results are noticeable immediately after the session and last for several months.
Hyaluronic acid in the human body is a polysaccharide. It is present in the articular fluid, the intercellular space of the skin. The task of hyaluron is to bind water in cells and intercellular space, thereby preserving the youth and beauty of the skin. One hyaluron molecule is capable of accumulating up to 1000 water molecules.
Over time, less hyaluron is produced, which causes age-related changes - the appearance of wrinkles and skin flabbiness, stiffness.
After the injection of hyaluron, it fills the voids, starting to collect water molecules around itself and stimulating collagen production. As a result, the skin of the lips is smoothed, becomes moisturized, and the lips themselves are fuller due to hyaluron.
Advantages of hyaluronic lip injections
Those who decide to pump up their lips with hyaluron immediately after the procedure note the following positive effect:
- The lips become clear-cut;
- The lips grow in size;
- The shape of the lips becomes more regular and attractive.
The procedure has many advantages, including:
- The ability to adjust the volume of the injected substance, achieving the required increase in volume;
- The possibility of staged injection, which also makes it possible to obtain an optimal result;
- Unlike other fillers, hyaluronic ones have fewer side effects in the form of bruising and bruising;
- There is a low likelihood of developing allergic reactions, since synthetic hyaluron is used as close as possible in its composition to natural;
- Rejuvenating effect, which persists even after the disintegration and elimination of hyaluron from the body, which is explained by the stimulation of the production of natural hyaluron after injections;
- The possibility of re-injection of hyaluron, while the required amount of filler is usually reduced;
- Hyaluron is safe and completely excreted from the body after a specified period;
- Hyaluron does not migrate to adjacent tissues, as happens, for example, with silicone;
- Hyaluron is distinguished by its versatility of action - with its help you can not only correct the shape of the lips or add volume, but also make the skin younger, taut and moisturized.
Indications and contraindications
Patients who want to look more attractive turn to contour plastics. Among the indications are usually distinguished:
- Thin lips;
- Lack of symmetry;
- The appearance of wrinkles on the upper lip;
- Ptosis (drooping) of the corners of the lips;
- Unattractive lip shape.
In terms of age and goals, patients going for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid are divided into 3 groups:
- Patients under 30 years old tend to seek more volume in order to look brighter and more attractive. The same group of clients may have problems with lips such as asymmetry, irregular shape.
- Patients after 30 years of age complain of the first age changes, including the skin of the lips. With the help of hyaluron, they can be effectively dealt with. There are also many who correct the shape or add volume;
- Patients 50 years of age and older resort to injections to eliminate wrinkles in the lip area, ptosis of the corners of the lips, and give the lips a sharper outline.
The procedure is allowed from 18 to 60 years old.
Procedure contour plastics has its own contraindications. First of all, it is not recommended during pregnancy and lactation. It is unacceptable to resort to this method at various inflammations and diseases of the skin of the lips, with the formation of crusts and ulcers on them, as well as herpes in the acute stage.
You should refrain from the procedure if you have the following ailments:
- Autoimmune diseases;
- Oncological ailments;
- Diabetes;
- Diseases of the blood, in the first place - problems with coagulation;
- Treatment with anticoagulants - drugs that reduce blood clotting;
- Predisposition to the formation of keloid or hypertrophic scars;
- Diseases nervous system, first of all - epilepsy, diseases of the trigeminal nerve;
- Viral diseases.
You can not pump lips with individual intolerance to hyaluronic acid. If peeling or resurfacing of the skin has been performed, you should wait a month before deciding to pump your lips. Finally, experts recommend refraining from injections during menstruation, since during this period the hormonal background women. In this regard, it is not always possible to predict the result of the procedure, the likelihood of side effects increases, and pain threshold women are significantly reduced.
Carrying out the procedure
The hyaluron injection procedure is preceded by a consultation with a specialist. It is discussed final result, the state of health of the patient is found out, whether he has chronic or other ailments, a suitable filler is selected. In some clinics, specialists prescribe Acyclovir a week before the procedure, as this can prevent the development of cold sores on the injured lips.
Fillers are in disposable syringes. Before the procedure, the doctor anesthetizes the working area using injections (infiltration method) with anesthetic or cream (application method). Anesthetics are usually based on lidocaine or its analogs. It is important to make sure that the patient is not allergic to them. Usually, the doctor will give 2 pain-relieving injections - in the upper and lower lip. The period of action of anesthesia is 25-30 minutes, during this time the lips lose sensitivity. The next stage is the antiseptic of the working surface. Injections start from the middle of the lips, the specialist injects the drug for about 15-30 minutes, observing how the hyaluron is distributed. The drug is administered in small portions; with too much gel, hematomas are usually formed.
Filler insertion is performed in a fan-like or linear fashion, as these techniques prevent the formation of bulges or dents. The needle is inserted to a depth of 2-3 mm, and the substance should be evenly distributed between the skin and muscle. With a deeper injection of the filler, it will break down faster, which means that the effect of the procedure will be short-lived.
After the session, the doctor makes a light massage in the correction area, the purpose of which is to evenly distribute the filler, adhere it to the connective tissue. Then cold is applied to the lips to relieve swelling. However, slight hyperemia and swelling will still persist in the first days after the procedure, which is considered the norm. The result will become apparent when the swelling subsides and bruises disappear, bruises - after 3-5 days.
Usually, one procedure is enough to achieve the desired effect, sometimes a correction is required, which can be carried out 2 weeks after the first session. It should be understood that it is impossible to make plump lips out of thin lips; it is possible to correct their shape and give a small volume.
Side effects
Modern cosmetology has abandoned the use of hyaluronic acid of animal origin (obtained most often from cockscombs). This is due to the fact that such fillers are rejected by the body, which causes complications.
Modern fillers are based on a hyaluronic acid of synthetic origin, which has undergone several degrees of purification. However, despite the high quality of the filler, the following side effects may occur after injections:
- Hyperemia, that is, redness in the area of correction;
- Edema;
- Slight swelling of individual areas of correction;
- Small bruises and abrasions;
- Soreness in the area where the needle is inserted.
These symptoms are considered normal and go away on their own 3-7 days after the injection. If this does not happen, consult a doctor.
You should rush to a specialist when pain appears, numbness of the lips, local seals... If after the procedure a rash appears, tissue necrosis, breathing and heartbeat are disturbed, an "ambulance" should be called immediately.
Rehabilitation period
Pumped lips require rehabilitation for up to 7-10 days, during which you need to follow simple recommendations:
- Give up physical activity, playing sports, as this can cause hematomas and bruising;
- Refuse to massage the correction zone and other physical effects on the lips (including kisses);
- Do not take hot food or drinks;
- Do not use decorative cosmetics for the first 3-4 days after the procedure;
- For 14 days, do not take a hot bath, visit baths and saunas, do steam baths;
- For up to 14 days, you should refrain from facial massage;
- 7-10 days after the procedure, you can not sunbathe, it is recommended to protect the lips from exposure to sunlight if injections are made in solar time of the year;
- You should not visit the pool, swim in the water for the first 2 weeks after the procedure, as there is a risk of infection of the puncture sites;
- No smoking.
For a week, the lips are lubricated with antiseptic and moisturizing creams, while avoiding massaging and pressing on them. The patient must drink the amount of water specified by the doctor, and also visit a specialist after 7-10 days. Despite the fact that the changes are noticeable immediately after the operation, the final result is found around 14 days. During this period, the filler is evenly distributed under the skin, hyaluron collects the required amount of water molecules around it, swelling and bruising disappear.
Duration of effect, price
The effect after the procedure lasts from 6 to 12 months. The duration of the results depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body, the quality of the injected filler. Trusted fillers include:
- Juvederm (Allergan, USA);
- Restylane (Q-MED, Sweden);
- Surzhiderm (Corneal Group, France).
The procedure requires 1-3 ml of the drug, depending on the shape of the lips and the desired result. When answering the question, how much does it cost to pump lips with hyaluronic acid, you should take into account which brand of filler and in what quantities is used, as well as the location and popularity of the cosmetology clinic. On average, the cost of the procedure is 15,000 rubles.
The effect wears off gradually, that is, the lips do not “deflate” in one day. When the filler is re-injected, the result is usually slightly longer lasting.

Large sensual mouth is the dream of many modern women... Beautifully contoured puffy lips look attractive and sexy. To improve the shape of the delicate area of the face, it is not at all necessary to resort to surgical intervention... Cosmetologists offer a gentle way of correction - lip augmentation with the help of injection contour plastics. The result is achieved due to subcutaneous injection fillers - biocompatible fillers. The technique is very popular due to its high efficiency and reasonable price. According to psychologists, lip pumping increases self-esteem and self-confidence.
Hyaluronic acid-based gels are the most common type of fillers. Hyaluronic acid - a natural component connective tissue human body... It maintains the moisture level in the cells, removes toxins from them. Hyaluron is produced in enough only up to 25 years, then the synthesis stops. Because of this, the elasticity of the skin decreases, the lips lose their original shape, fine wrinkles and age spots form around them.
Review of drugs for lip augmentation
1. Hyaluronic acid.
Preparations based on hyaluronic acid are injected with a thin needle along the contour of the lips. The gel is evenly distributed over the tissues and provides an increase in volume. The most famous fillers: Teosyal Puresense, Surgilips, Juvederm, HyalStyle.
Advantages of hyaluronic acid injections:
- safety - due to the natural basis, the preparations do not cause rejection and allergic reactions;
- lifting effect - along with the increase, the skin of the lips is moisturized and smoothed, and its elasticity is improved;
- quickness - in order to increase the volume of the lips with the help of hyaluronic acid, half an hour is enough for a specialist;
- painlessness - fine needle and application anesthetics reduce sensitivity and make manipulation as comfortable as possible;
- prompt removal - if the result of the increase is unsatisfactory, then the filler can be quickly removed;
- biodegradation - over time, drugs disintegrate and are completely eliminated from the body.
If you pump your lips with hyaluronic acid, then for a long time they will look swollen and juicy. In addition, it helps to correct asymmetry and a fuzzy mouth contour. The procedure is fast recovery is easy... After applying fillers, the lips retain their natural shape.
Disadvantages of hyaluronic acid injections:
- short duration - the effect of enlargement persists on the lips from 6 to 12 months;
- recurrence of herpes - the likelihood of development increases with weakened immunity;
- swelling and redness - immediately after the injections, the lips are very swollen and the increase seems excessive, hematomas appear on the skin; with proper care, everything goes away in 3-5 days.
Regular repetition of the manipulation increases the duration of the effect. This is explained by the fact that hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and also improves tissue renewal.
2. Botox.
The main purpose of the filler is to smooth out wrinkles in the mouth area. With its help, you can raise the corners of the lips, eliminate asymmetry, and correct the shape. Botox is injected into the lips with an insulin syringe with a fine needle, so the patient does not feel pain. The drug is injected along the contour of the mouth or in the center of the lips. This immediately causes mild paralysis of the facial muscles. After the operation, mimic wrinkles are smoothed out and the mouth appears to be immobilized.
For this reason, Botox is not used for lip augmentation, but exclusively for aesthetic purposes. How long does Botox last in the lips? According to the reviews of cosmetologists, the effect lasts 4-6 months, after which the injection session must be repeated.
3. Silicone.
Interest in this artificial drug began to decline 5-7 years ago. Its advantage lies in the impossibility of resorption. If the lips are pumped with silicone, then their plumpness will remain unchanged over a long period. Getting under the skin, it becomes overgrown with collagen fibers, due to which there is a significant increase in the volume of the lips. Since silicone is a foreign body, the body's reaction to it is individual, often negative. According to experts, in some cases the result can even be shocking.
4. Lipofilling.
The augmentation technique is based on the transplantation of the patient's fat cells into the lips.
Advantages:
- safety;
- hypoallergenic;
- no rejection of transplanted tissues;
- natural look.
A syringe with a cannula is used to collect donor adipose tissue. A special hollow needle with a rounded end and a side hole is designed to penetrate the body cavity. The pumped-out fat is thoroughly cleaned of blood and fibers, then planted under the skin. The session lasts about an hour. The result becomes noticeable immediately after the operation. It persists almost forever, since the transplanted fat takes root well and does not dissolve over time.
The disadvantage of this method is the increased complexity. Lip augmentation should be performed by a highly qualified and experienced surgeon. The disadvantages also include the risk of developing infectious complications... In addition, after the procedure, a settling effect appears on the lips. This requires additional corrective action, which negatively affects the final cost of the increase.
5. Biopolymer gels.
The fillers are based on non-absorbable synthetic materials mixed with hyaluronic acid. The most famous: Matridex, Dermalife, Matridur.
Disadvantages - High risk of scarring. If the lips are pumped with artificial gel, then the impeccable look will last no longer than 3-5 years. Then it is possible to move the material to the lower jaw. This leads to deformation of the face, in some cases - to severe inflammation. It is possible to remove biopolymer gel from tissues only by surgery. After that, ugly scars and scars remain on the lips.
6. Biodegradable mesothreads.
An innovative technique for increasing the volume of lips, which has been actively introduced in the Russian Federation since 2014. To date, only one type of material is offered, developed by Italian specialists.
The essence of the procedure is to install caprolactone threads along the contour of the lips. Resorption occurs within 1.5-2 years. In place of the threads, a framework of fibrous fibers is formed. It creates an increase in natural volume, lifts the corners of the lips, smoothes fine lines around the mouth. The result lasts up to 3 years. For greater effect, mesothreads can be combined with hyaluronic acid correction.

What actions does fashion not push people to do! A couple of decades ago, about such a by-product of progress as silicone lips, no one even knew until several Hollywood stars, one after another, wanted to improve the shape and volume of their lips. Since then this kind plastic surgery began to gain popularity.
The procedure itself consists in injecting silicone under the skin of the patient's lips. They begin to implant it with a few drops. Then the procedure is repeated for a month. To prevent this substance from spreading under the skin, it is supported by the production of natural collagen.
I must say that this operation is currently being carried out successfully in more than half of the cases. But, alas, there are very numerous exceptions, which we will talk about in the next paragraph. First of all, too voluminous silicone lips can become not only an object for everyone's fun, ridicule and pity, but also bring very tangible harm to the appearance and health of a person, when silicone, not supported by collagen in the desired form, will begin to slowly spread, and, shifting, deform the lips, which can seriously disfigure the face.
I must say that in some countries this type of plastic surgery is prohibited, and this is due to the numerous complaints of patients. Silicone lips are not the only opportunity an increase in volume, for this purpose is also administered, however, it dissolves over time. Silicone is not. It stays in the lips for life.
Being foreign body, it often leads to different inflammatory processes... On the appearance of this substance, the body turns on It secretes and accumulates phagocytes, lymphocytes and macrophages with the sole purpose of removing everything foreign. Naturally, it is not possible to withdraw it. As a result, fibroblast tissue accumulates around the silicone drops. In other words, a kind of capsule forms around it. This mechanism partially relieves inflammation caused by the implantation of a foreign substance. However, this is not always the case. It all depends on two things. First, from your body's reaction to silicone. Secondly, on the quality of the material used. In some circumstances, it is worth giving up silicone altogether. For example, if your lips are very thin, then enlarging them with this method is contraindicated for you.
The use of silicone in this case may not always lead to an improvement in appearance.
On the contrary, sometimes the result of such an operation can simply shock others. Some people with silicone lips have become just often - not in the best sense this expression. For example, Sergey Zverev. Or with the largest silicone lips, whose appearance, to put it mildly, is very extravagant.
