Rating TOP 7 best lip fillers

One of the most popular and popular procedures that help improve your appearance is lip augmentation and correction of their shape. With its help, we can add volume, raise the corners of the lips, and create a proportional appearance. For this purpose, cosmetologists use fillers. We will now tell you about them and how to choose the right product for you.

Techniques for lip augmentation with fillers

The technique of lip augmentation with filler is a minimally invasive surgical method. Only trained cosmetologists and doctors with a profile in “facial surgery” have the right to perform the operation. Indications are related to congenital or post-traumatic defects, the client’s desire to change appearance.

Existing techniques allow:

smooth out wrinkles in the form of transverse grooves;
raise the corners;
enlarge a thin upper lip due to inversion;
eliminate asymmetry;
emphasize contours;
change the shape of your mouth.

As a result, we get the effect of a smooth surface, beautiful outlines, and the disappearance of wrinkles. The operation changes the image of a person, making his appearance more pleasant. To increase lip volume with fillers, doctors choose the optimal method for the depth of injection:

Superficial - suitable for a small amount of the drug injected into wrinkles along the upper contour, moderate swelling below. The injection depth is no more than a few mm.
Internal - allows you to fight scars, cicatrices, deep wrinkles in the corners, change the shape of the mouth, and significantly increase volume. The drug penetrates to a depth of 10 mm.

Preparations for lip correction

Recently, several new drugs for correction and lip augmentation have appeared on the Russian market, inferior in price to the most common ones. For example, Dermaviscease, PerfecthaDerm, Amaline, Glytone. But the most reasonable thing would still be to use the most famous and proven products, since the maximum number of specialists around the world work with them, which means there is wide statistics of use, possible complications during lip correction and methods of dealing with them. Although, if a doctor at a reputable clinic actively and successfully uses some relatively new drug certified in Russia, it may make sense to try it. For example, the French filler Glytone contains the antioxidant mannitol, which is designed to prolong the safety of the injected gel. Mannitol in this case does not act as an antioxidant for the skin, but as a “preservative” for a longer, prolonged action of HA in the skin.

The best lip fillers based on hyaluronic acid

Lip fillers are foreign substances to the body that have the properties of antigens. The drugs are divided:

for synthetic ones - basic chemical components are able to fill and remain in the subcutaneous layer for a long time, more often they give an allergic reaction;
natural (natural) - obtained from sources natural or similar in properties to humans, rarely accompanied by a rejection reaction.

Hyaluronic acid is constantly present in tissues. It is necessary for the synthesis of collagen and elastane. The main role of the substance is to prevent cell aging, create conditions for maintaining moisture and elasticity of the skin, mucous membranes, and joints. Therefore, it is included in cosmetic care products, medicinal ointments and creams.

When enlarging lips with filler based on hyaluronic acid, preparations are selected that have the necessary viscosity properties:

Intense viscosity is provided by fillers injected into the dense layers of the dermis and deep wrinkles. The effect lasts up to 12 months.
Fillers with a medium degree are used in the correction of moderately expressed wrinkles and guarantee the preservation of the result for up to six months.
Preparations with low viscosity are indicated in the initial stage of wrinkles, with increased sensitivity and dry skin. The duration of the result is 4 months.

The enzyme hyaluronidase is responsible for the gradual breakdown of the substance. The drug breaks down into harmless carbon dioxide and liquid. The brand of the best filler with hyaluronic acid is chosen by the doctor after clarifying the purpose of the manipulation, the client’s wishes, and sensitivity.

Types of collagen and its use

For lip augmentation or lip plastic surgery, 2 types of collagen are used:

Bovine collagen. It has a significant drawback - it causes allergies. Still, this is a foreign protein and naturally an allergic reaction may occur to it, so such collagen is “released” into the lips only after an allergy test. The test result is monitored for several weeks and if there is no redness at the injection site, itching or blister, then it is considered that there is no allergy. Since the operation to insert it is painful, the filler is used together with the anesthetic lidocaine.
Human collagen for lips. It is made from human tissues that are grown under special conditions in special laboratories. Liquid collagen fillers, such as Cosmoplast and Cosmoderm, have also been created based on the human body. The main advantage of these drugs is that there is no allergic reaction to their use, which means there is no need to carry out allergy tests before using it.

Lip augmentation with collagen from bovine material should not confuse you, since its correct introduction into the dermis step by step will provide the same effect as a filler grown from human cells in a special laboratory. Usually, several procedures of introducing filler into the sponges are necessary to achieve a good result.

Since it is practically impossible to do such a procedure on your own at home, surgery in a clinic may seem expensive to you. However, in practice, lip plastic surgery using collagen turns out to be acceptable and much cheaper than similar operations with other fillers, for example, fat injection.

The best lip fillers based on polylactic acid

Cosmetologists practice the introduction of polylactic acid filler less often than others due to the high risk of a local or general allergic reaction.

The substance has the property of activating the synthesis of collagen fibers at the injection site. The acid is obtained from plants (potato starch, corn) by polymerization.

Sculptra - produced by a French company. Collagen production increases by 35% after two injections. Available in powder form. Before use, it is necessary to prepare the solution for three days with continuous shaking, so the drug is inconvenient for a doctor to work with. After administration, a long kneading is necessary, otherwise dense lumps will form. Unpleasant sensations and swelling are rare. The form lasts 18–24 months.

AestheFill is a Korean drug represented by a combination of isomers of polylactic and glycolic acids. Stronger than Sculptra. Prepare from granules 20–30 minutes before administration. Lumps do not form, the substance is distributed evenly. Indicated for deep wrinkles in the corners of the mouth. The action lasts 24 months.

Fillers - review by a cosmetologist

Juvederm is a good quality product. But to treat all the required areas on the face, fillers of different densities are needed. The name is the same (One brand), but the density is different.

Is this drug safe?

Real drugs are safe, but there is always a nuance: No matter how qualified a cosmetologist is, no matter how carefully he follows the technique, there is always the possibility of some undesirable phenomena.

Fillers, like drugs, are different. There are branded certified drugs, and there are fillers that are much cheaper than certified ones. For example, in clinics the average cost of filler is 15-17 thousand rubles, and in the cosmetology market they offer filler for 8 thousand rubles. And if it is a drug of the same brand, then you should seriously think about counterfeiting. Since a certified filler purchased from an official distributor cannot cost so cheap.

No matter how qualified the cosmetologist is and no matter how carefully he follows the technique, there is always the possibility of some undesirable phenomena. This is unlikely, they happen rarely, but they still happen. You should definitely check the qualifications of the doctor before going for the procedure. You need to ask your cosmetologist what product he will use. Don't be shy and ask questions that concern you.

Especially if something bothers you after the procedure has already been performed, be sure to let your doctor know. This way you will avoid possible complications.

The advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it has an ANTIDOTE - hyaluronidase. If suddenly a vessel occlusion or an allergic reaction occurs (which is extremely rare with hyaluronic acid), we have the opportunity to remove this drug. Antidotes - hyaluronidase and longidase - are placed directly in the area where hyaluronic acid was injected and the filler dissolves literally immediately. It begins to turn into water and is excreted from the body.

The principle of resorption is simple. When the deadline expires, the filler is absorbed due to our own hyaluronidase, which is in our body, but if it needs to be removed urgently, then an injection of the antidote hyaluronidase is administered. For example, you didn’t like the effect achieved and you decided to return everything back.

How long does the effect last?

The effect for the cheek-zygomatic area from the volumizer lasts, according to informed consent and according to the product label, for 12-18 months. On average, it lasts this way in reality, gradually settling over a year and a half. In the nasolabial areas from a year to 14 months. On the lips, usually up to 1 year.

Filler injection - injection

We add a small volume to the lip area, very delicately. It’s not so much that the effect itself disappears, but the patient gets used to the natural volume and literally after a month it seems - So what? Did we stage anything?

When you show a photo before the procedure, it becomes obvious that there is an effect, and the patient quickly gets used to the natural volume. After the effect wears off and all the fillers (hyaluronic acid injections) injected under the skin turn into water, won’t I look worse?

Cosmetologist Yuliana Shiyan
Comment from cosmetologist, dermatologist Yuliana Shiyan:
I always give an example: When we (girls) start using shapewear, get in shape and then take it off, we have more fat and a thicker waist, it doesn’t get any better! It's the same with fillers and threads.
After we put the drug on and it dissolved, for no reason at all the face will not get worse. The question arises when the patient forgets how it was. And naturally he wants to repeat the aesthetic effect that was at the beginning.

This is an aesthetic addiction, not a physiological one. If suddenly a Woman becomes pregnant or for some reason suddenly decides not to take the drug anymore, then her face will not be worse than because she was once injected with fillers. The face will age naturally, as it did before the introduction of fillers.

Fillers. Detailed review and application practice

Here I have Juvederm with lidocaine in my hands, expiration date until November 2020. Such drugs are always opened directly in the presence of the patient. This is an individual syringe and already filled. Contrary to the wishes of the patients, to divide it between girlfriends, he does not share. For example: Botox is drawn up multiple times with a sterile syringe from one bottle.

Juvederm comes with a drug passport. It is stuck in the “Informed Consent” Drug VOLUMA

So that there is no misunderstanding between the doctor and the patient, or doubts about the integrity of the doctor whom the patient sees for the first time. The doctor is obliged to open the syringe with filler in the presence of the patient and after administering the filler, show the empty syringe. So that the patient can see that an expensive injection has been given and there is no drug in the syringe. So that there are no questions: Have you given me everything? Here the doctor insures himself.

The Best Collagen Lip Fillers

Fillers are made from collagen obtained from an animal or human. It is as close as possible to the properties of the body, the result lasts from 6 months to 5 years. The drugs are not used during exacerbation of chronic diseases, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

"Artefill" (an improved version of the drug "Artecoll") is produced in the USA in the form of a biogel. Main components: bovine collagen and polymethyl methacrylate. Additional ones include lidocaine. The manipulation is painless and does not cause tissue swelling. Used to correct the shape of the lips and fill nasolabial folds. The negative is the risk of an allergy to animal collagen.

Cymetra is a filler created in the USA. The main component is extracted from human donor blood and transplants. Release form: powder. Requires dilution before use. Most effective against the background of senile signs around the mouth. There are fewer contraindications than Artefill.

"Ziderm" contains collagen from the skin of cows and bulls, supplemented with sodium chloride. After injection, swelling persists. Quickly compensates for lost lip volume and covers light wrinkles. Rarely used.

Botox

When choosing which drug is best for lip augmentation, the patient, sooner or later, comes to the option of injecting purified botulinum toxin under the skin.

Botox on lips

This is the only method to once and for all change the shape of your lips, increase their volume and correct natural asymmetry. But this technique has a huge list of side effects and contraindications.

When not to do Botox:

During pregnancy, during lactation.
For any blood diseases (including diabetes, low coagulation, vascular fragility and varicose veins).
During the recovery period after surgical intervention.
When undergoing a course of chemotherapy.
During seasonal exacerbations of chronic diseases.
For any fungal and viral skin diseases in the treatment area (thrush, herpes, etc.).

The best preparations with hyaluronic acid to shape your lips

Hyaluronic fillers differ in the degree of viscosity, the presence of stabilizing components, and the concentration of the main substance. The table shows the advantages and disadvantages of different drugs.

Name	Manufacturer country	Additional components	Validity	Advantages and disadvantages
Restylane Perlane	Sweden	Sodium chloride	12 months	+ minimum irritation, healthier skin; - discomfort, soreness, swelling 2 days
Juvederm Ultra Smile	USA	Lidocaine, phosphates	up to a year	+ elastic consistency, distributed by massage; -discomfort for several days
Surgiderm 30XP	France	Hyaluronate in a three-dimensional matrix	up to 18 months	+ drug hypoallergenic, plastic; - no information
Princess Filler	Austria	Available with or without lidocaine, hyaluronate is obtained using a special technology	up to a year	+ mixes with other drugs of the class; - no information
Teosyal kiss	Switzerland	Increased density and concentration	6–9 months	+ universal use for lips and face, hypoallergenic - no information

Contraindications

In the following situations, injecting fillers is prohibited:

age under 18 years;
bearing a child and breastfeeding;
blood clotting disorder;
autoimmune, oncological, skin diseases;
skin wounds;
tendency to form keloid scars;
herpes in the acute stage;
allergy to the components of the drug;
diabetes.

Do not go to a session if you have acute respiratory infections or menstruation, since the body is weakened and there is a higher risk that the immune system will not cope with pathogenic bacteria. Also, before menstruation and in the first days of the cycle, women tolerate pain worse.

How lip shape is corrected with hyaluronic acid

Filler with hyaluronic acid is injected subcutaneously according to general rules. By filling wrinkles from the inside, the drug increases volume and restores elasticity to tissues.

An important advantage: the introduced hyaluronic acid stimulates its own synthesis. The repeated procedure is carried out depending on the rate of absorption of the drug - after 6 or 12 months. Accumulation of concentration allows you to extend the validity period up to 15 months. Drugs from the same company are sometimes mixed for a lasting effect.

Fillers are available in the form of a balm and a roll-on tube (“Libriderm 3D-filler”, “Fillerina”). Hyaluronic acid penetrates the epidermis and fills its voids. The effect of “plump lips” occurs after 2 months of daily use and lasts for 3–4 months. The best result is achieved with shallow wrinkles.

Effect of the procedure

For about a week after the procedure, the lips will swell slightly and appear larger than they will be. The final effect is visible after about two weeks.

When making an appointment with a cosmetologist, you need to understand that the cosmetologist does not always intervene in existing proportions globally. Sometimes minimal actions are enough to change a person’s appearance, making him look younger, more smiling and even happier.

The list of such lip modeling procedures includes:

raising the corners of the lips;
contour delineation;
slight change in shape, giving the face charm.

Unfortunately, more often than not, patients want to see drastic changes. And even if they approached the procedure carefully and conservatively the first time, agreeing to minor changes, they quickly get used to the new situation and with each subsequent visit they ask to introduce even more filler.

A good doctor will try to dissuade such a woman, explaining all the risks, but he should not refuse the procedure. After all, everyone has different tastes, and, ultimately, the cosmetologist’s task is to please the patient. She should leave happy and feel comfortable with her “new” lips.

Techniques and forms for lip augmentation, tips for choosing

The technique of contouring with fillers has become a common procedure among patients. The method is simple with a clear result. The popularity of the methods is determined by the assessment and skill of the specialist. Each patient requires an individual approach to improve their appearance. There are several types of lips based on their shape. The smallest deviation from what is given by nature should be chosen:

“Classic” - the width is uniform, the outline is clearly visible.
“Ruby” - creates a natural increased volume and swelling.
Lips with a “Cupid’s bow” - a raised, drawn upper lip with a “pit” in the middle.
“Pearl” - good for women with a beautiful line of teeth, an open smile, emphasizes the contour from below and above, creates the effect of sensuality.
“Angelic” - recommended for women with narrowed side zones. The injections create additional width like “wings”.
“Mona Lisa” - against the background of slight swelling, the corners are raised in the form of a mysterious smile.

Lip augmentation using the Garunova technique: how to invert the upper lip with filler?

The method is used for naturally thin upper lips. It differs from contour plastic surgery by introducing filler into the inner surface from the mucosal side. The volume increases due to turning outward.

The Parisian lip augmentation technique, popular among stars: features of lip shape

To create “French sponges,” the doctor applies filler injections perpendicular to the contour. The drug penetrates into the thickness of the tissue without changing the natural contours. It gives a plump appearance, but wrinkles remain. The cosmetologist does not inject into the corners. Women's mouths look sensual. Vulgarity is excluded. The procedure is economical since 1 ml of filler is enough.

Hollywood lip augmentation technique

The Hollywood method combines contour pinching with highlighting the edge, lifting the center of the upper lip, and increasing volume.

Fan lip augmentation technique

The “fan” injection of the filler does not limit the doctor to a specific place. Injections are made both along the contour and in the corners of the mouth. As a result, the look is rejuvenated, but remains natural. Cosmetologists recommend it if the client finds it difficult to choose a form, the procedure is performed for the first time and makes it possible to verify the effect.

Monaco lip augmentation technique

The essence of the method: filler injections are limited to the corners of the mouth. Raising the face makes the expression more welcoming and removes age wrinkles. The central part remains unchanged.

Administration techniques

The choice of administration technique and correction scheme depends on the problem that the patient wants to correct and the drug used.

How to inject the drug? Cosmetologists use several techniques for introducing fillers into the lips:

Linear-retrograde .
The purpose of this technique is to strengthen certain areas. Fillers are injected parallel to the dermis or intradermally. The drug is administered at the moment the needle comes out, which is inserted at an angle of 45 degrees.
Bolus injection technique . This technique is used to create plump and sensual lips. “Beauty injections” are given into the orbicularis oris muscle. In this case, the boluses should be located in the area of the red border of the lips so that the drug does not move into their skin part and does not form tubercles.
Linear-volumetric . This technique is used to increase the red border of the lips, as well as to make them plump.
Linear . The drug is administered in small volumes linearly. The technique is used to create clear lip contours.
Drip . It is injected dropwise into the area of the tubercles of the upper lip through a perpendicular puncture into the skin of the red border to a depth of 3-5 mm. Enlarges the central part of the lips.
Fan . The technique is used to enlarge lips. The cosmetologist administers minimal doses of the drug, starting from the contour and then into the red border.

How much medication is needed to correct lip contours? The volumes of administered drugs are directly dependent on the goals that the patient wants to achieve. If fillers are introduced to give the lips a beautiful contour, then the cosmetologist injects no more than 0.5-0.7 ml into the lower and upper parts in one procedure. How much drug is needed for lip augmentation? If “beauty injections” are carried out in order to increase the size of the lips and make them plump, then from 0.8 to 1 ml of the drug is used in one procedure.

The aesthetic effect after the introduction of fillers lasts for 6-9 months . Some modern drugs can act for 12-15 months.

Rating of the best lip fillers

The basis of the best fillers in their production are natural components:

botulinum toxin;
collagen;
hyaluronic acid;
adipose tissue.

The composition includes antioxidants, vitamins, anesthetics for slow resorption and blocking allergies. The doctor will decide which filler is best to use, taking into account the condition of the skin and the purpose of the injection. The choice of filler is influenced by:

cosmetic defects;
chipping technique;
presence of contraindications;
the number of previous similar procedures and their effectiveness.

The rating is headed by drugs based on hyaluronic acid. They cause fewer allergic reactions, are convenient to use, and do not require prior dissolution. A small amount is required for the purpose of biorevitalization. In the practice of beauty salons, the following are most popular:

Restylane;
Princesses;
Surgiderm;
Juvederm;
Teosial;
Filorga.

What to do if side effects occur?

If the procedure was performed incorrectly or low-quality drugs were used, side effects may occur. Side effects from the procedure :

Allergic reaction.
Purulent inflammation.
Blockage of blood vessels.
Gel migration.
Formation of benign tumors.
Tissue necrosis.

Small swelling, redness and swelling are a normal reaction of the body to “beauty injections”, but if they bother you, it is better to consult a specialist.

How and with what to remove side effects? The consequences of filler injection are removed :

By medication, introducing special substances into the body.
How to remove severe swelling? They are removed using ultrasound.
How to completely remove filler? If drug treatment does not help, then you need to resort to removing the gel surgically.

It is worth noting that the result after “beauty injections” is noticeable immediately and if the patient is not satisfied with it, then the effect of the gel can be neutralized within 20 minutes after its administration using injections of hyaluronidase or the drug longidase.

Which filler is best to use for lip augmentation and how is the procedure performed?

Among the mass of fillers, it is difficult for an inexperienced person to choose the best option for himself. The best fillers include:

with a high concentration of the main substance;
additional anesthetic component;
medium or high viscosity;
a minimum of synthetic chemicals;
good solubility before the procedure;
produced in liquid form (in ampoules with needles).

Before introducing filler into the lips, the doctor must:

wiping the mucous membrane and mouth area with a damp cloth to remove makeup and dust;
applying an anesthetic gel with lidocaine for 20–30 minutes;
treating the intended injection sites with an antiseptic.

Typically, the procedure begins with correction of the upper sections, then moves on to the lower sections. The procedure, including pain relief, takes about an hour. Sometimes after finishing, a soothing mask is needed for another 30 minutes.

Features of contour plastic surgery

Fillers are injected by a cosmetologist into the deep layers of the skin using a thin needle. The procedure in most cases does not take more than half an hour.

“Beauty injections” are used in the following situations:

Lifting of the corners of the lips is required.
Creating the required form.
Increasing the volume of the upper or lower lips.
Creating a beautiful and correct bend of the nasolabial fold.

It is known that lip fillers can be of biological or synthetic origin; a cosmetologist will help the client decide which one is suitable in a particular situation.

You will find all the detailed information about lip contouring in this article.

We invite you to watch a video about what fillers are:

How to prepare the injection area?

There are special recommendations that should be followed before the procedure:

It is better to avoid procedures in the first three days of the menstrual cycle and in its second phase, since during this period the subcutaneous fatty tissue retains and accumulates water.
Three days before the procedure, you should apply Troxevasin gel to your lips; it will help strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
If herpes often appears on the lips, then before “beauty injections” to prevent it, you need to use Acyclovir or Zovirax ointment for three days.
The day before the procedure, you should not use painkillers, for example, Analgin, Tempalgin, Ibuprofen and some others, as they reduce blood clotting, which leads to the formation of bruises.

It is worth avoiding if a cold, herpes or acne suddenly appears on your lips.

Allergic reaction test

Before introducing filler into the lips, the cosmetologist conducts tests to determine whether the patient has an allergic reaction to the drug.
If there are any contraindications or individual intolerance to certain components in medicinal and cosmetic products, you should immediately notify a specialist.
Next, the cosmetologist selects a special syringe that matches the drug being administered and the area of the lips being treated.

It is worth noting that the procedure must be carried out not only by an experienced specialist, but also under certain sterile conditions.

Lip care after filler injection

The peculiarity of lip contouring using filler injections is the virtual absence of a rehabilitation period. Side effects (minor bruising, swelling and redness) disappear after 2-3 days. Patients do not feel any consequences. The rules of care must be taken carefully:

For 2–3 days you cannot wash your face or touch your face with your hands;
It is forbidden to go to the bathhouse and sauna, or visit the swimming pool;
You can only sleep on your back;
treat lips with an antiseptic solution (Bepanten is suitable);
Chamomile decoction, olive oil, honey are suggested for lubrication;
It is not recommended to spend time in the sun or sunbathe;
Eliminate alcoholic beverages, strong coffee and tea from your diet.

Photos before and after

Take a look at these successful transformations. The results are excellent, lips look beautiful and voluminous.

But this is the result that can happen if the cosmetologist has poor technique.

Reviews and photos of lip augmentation

Judging by reviews of the work of various beauty salons, women’s attention to the problem of using fillers is increasing.

Alisa, 38 years old: “I’ve been working as a cosmetologist for 5 years. I prefer to use Restylane for lip contouring. It is well tolerated. I've never seen an allergy. The women are happy with the result. The duration corresponds to the instructions."

Galina Vladimirovna, 45 years old: “I did the procedure for the first time 3 years ago. I just wanted rejuvenation. We managed to remove small wrinkles on top and tighten the corners. I saw the effect after 3 days and lasted almost a year. When reintroduced, more than 12 months have passed. Hyaluronic preparations protect our beauty from old age.”

Nina Petrovna, 60 years old: “I decided to look younger for my anniversary. The cosmetologist suggested nourishing masks, lifting and definitely correcting the lip line. I didn’t dare for a long time, but I wanted to shock everyone. The manipulation turned out to be less painful. Slight swelling after the administration of Surgiderm lasted for 2 days. The mood is wonderful."

TOP 10 unsuccessful examples of lip contour correction

Let's look at the most common problems that result from unsuccessful lip contour correction.

1. The lips turned out to be much larger than the client expected.

Was your dream to have beautiful lips like Angelina Jolie's, but they ended up looking like Amanda Lepore's? Unfortunately, this happens due to the introduction of an excessive amount of gel.

Lips that have been “pumped” with gel look unnatural and do not allow their owner to be taken seriously. They look equally ugly on all face types.

If a filler containing hyaluronic acid was used, you should not be too upset. Within a year, the hyaluronic acid will dissolve and the lips will return to their previous shape. However, if you don’t have time to wait, then specialists in modern beauty salons are ready to correct unsuccessful lip contour correction using special enzymes. They help maintain volume only in the right places.

2. The harmonious proportions of the face are disturbed

Quite a common mistake. An excellent example of this can be the stars on the red carpet of various events. Most older actresses use lip contour correction. For some, contour plastic surgery is barely noticeable, while for others, the lips occupy almost half of the face. When the harmony of features is not maintained, the face ceases to be beautiful. That is why a specialist who corrects lip contour must understand the structure of the face, its proportions, and understand the laws of harmony.

3. The correct lip volume is impaired

Beautiful lips don't have to be very big. When correcting the lip contour, certain rules must be followed. For example, it is extremely important that in profile the lower lip is slightly fuller than the upper. There is an ideal ratio of the sizes of the upper and lower lips - 1/3 to 2/3. This is the so-called golden ratio of Leonardo Da Vinci, which is still used by many specialists when correcting lip contour.

4. The delicate anatomy of the lips is destroyed

It is important to maintain the aesthetics of your lips if you want to make them beautiful. When injecting too much of the drug during lip contour correction, their natural contours are lost. The result is two plump pancakes.

5. Lip eversion

If an excessive amount of gel was introduced from the mucous membrane of the lips, then the effect of everting them is obtained. That is, the part of the lip that should be in contact with the teeth becomes visible and turns outward.

One of the most striking examples of this is Sylvester Stallone's mother, Jackie Stallone. Her lip inversion was formed precisely because of an excessive amount of gel, which was injected during lip contour correction.

You can do this procedure yourself. Stand near the mirror and turn your lip out a little. You will see for yourself what happens in the end. Since the mucous side has a light shade, it differs from the bright color of the lips. That is, any inversion will not go unnoticed and will be clearly visible. Naturally, it would be inappropriate to talk about the beauty of lips here. However, this is not the worst thing.

The mucous side of the lip does not tolerate contact with air. When it dries out, cracks appear, which then become inflamed. If you leave everything as it is, you can get stomatitis (the entire oral cavity becomes inflamed) and cheilitis (the lips become inflamed and very peeling).

6. Asymmetry

When different amounts of the drug are injected into the lips, asymmetry is formed. For example, the left side of the lip becomes smaller than the right. This is a fairly common mistake when lip contour correction is carried out by a non-professional.

In Pamela Anderson this defect is not so obvious. All thanks to her open smile and charm. However, if you look closely, you can see the asymmetry of the lips, which is a consequence of their enlargement.

7. Duck Mouth

The formation of the so-called “duck mouth” is a real example of medical error. It appears if at a young age an excessive amount of the drug was injected into the skin of the upper lip. As a result, the lips resemble a duck's beak.

Examples of photos with the “duck lips” effect and 2 weeks later (after removing the biopolymer from the lips).

8. Drooping corners of the lips

Just a couple of incorrect movements with the syringe while correcting the lip contour, and you can safely add several years to your lips. This is what happened with Madonna, for example, look at the photo.

As a rule, all women over 40 years old have drooping lip corners. This facial expression is not a consequence of a bad mood. This is the same sign of age as bags under the eyes or nasolabial folds.

9. Wavy lip edge

In the case when the gel is introduced unevenly between the mucous membrane and the border of the red border, a wavy edge of the lips is formed.

10. Inflammation

Any inflammation is a consequence of violation of the rules of disinfection and sterilization, both during the procedure and after it.

However, we should not forget that this can happen due to the fault of not only the doctor, but also the patient himself. It often happens that clients do not follow the recommendations after lip contour correction (they do not follow hygiene rules, visit baths, etc.).

This biogel contains a high concentration of the active substance - 25 mg/ml, and has an average density. When administered, it does not form lumps, is well distributed and creates natural volume without the sensation of a foreign body under the skin.

True, for some girls the product does not take root: due to individual intolerance, a rash appears, irritation or the filler dissolves within 3-6 months. instead of 6-9 months declared by the manufacturer.

Popular lip shapes

Patients, turning to a cosmetologist or plastic surgeon, often use the lips of famous people as an example. Many are sure that all the stars pump fillers. Doctors, assessing the external data of idols, comparing the available information, claim that popular types: Liv Tyler, Eva Longoria, Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie have natural lips. Specialists can work with available means to achieve similarities. This does not mean that individual lips will look harmonious on the patient’s face. It is recommended to listen to the opinion of an experienced doctor who will offer the best options.

Filler composition

Almost all lip fillers consist of hyaluronic acid.

The following components can be added to them:

Crosslinking agent (specific ester that stabilizes hyaluronic acid)
Phosphate buffer (an ingredient that reduces post-procedure swelling and regulates pH levels in tissues)
Anesthetic (lidocaine, ensuring comfortable administration and distribution throughout the tissues)

Gels based on calcium hydroxyapatite and other “hard” components are not intended for working with lips.

And of course, our clinic does not use biopolymer gels or other similar products, which inevitably provoke aesthetic and physiological complications.
