Increased lip volume
These days, the trend is expressive eyes, sharp cheekbones, a neat nose and sensual lips.
Nature rewards us each with something of its own. Fortunately, cosmetic medicine has come a long way and gives us the opportunity to correct our appearance and face. The all-consuming fashion for plump lips appeared not so long ago. Experts note that it is now approaching the peak of popularity. Each of us has the opportunity to have lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid without surgery. It is believed that men involuntarily often pay attention to the expressiveness of their lips. If you know that your hair is soft and plump, this is a great incentive to feel seductive and attractive. The lip augmentation procedure with hyaluron will give them the necessary volume and help you feel confident in yourself and your beauty. Even your smile will change for the better.
If you ask what is the correct name for lip augmentation, they will tell you different options: contouring, shape modeling, creating artistic volume. All this can be done with hyaluronic acid. Are you interested in this opportunity? Then we recommend that you contact a cosmetology clinic and doctors involved in aesthetic medicine. What benefits do you get from professionals:
- Properly selected drugs with appropriate certificates.
- Qualified advice and recommendations from knowledgeable people. Don't be afraid to ask your cosmetologist questions.
- A natural result after sessions, and not the rough effect of kissed lips (you should be careful with hyaluronic acid, especially since lips are thin and sensitive skin).
- No complications after.
- The effect of the composition after the procedure will be noticeable for several months.
- The specialist will also help you determine how much hyaluronic acid to inject into your lips.
- Hyaluronic fillers will be selected individually.
What are these fillers anyway? It's simple. This word was transformed into the Russian language from the English verb “fill”, which is translated as “to fill”, “to fill”. Along the line of the mouth, the lips are carefully saturated with a special composition: gel with hyaluronic acid. You and I know that it is this substance that is responsible in our body for the youth and elasticity of the skin.
Upper lip augmentation and mouth shape correction are carried out by cosmetologists using various methods of contouring. Injection techniques also differ. Let's list the main ones:
- needle or cannula (thin syringe or cannula)
- horizontal or vertical (depending on the line of injections)

The importance of a qualified approach
Despite the relatively simple procedural protocol, the qualifications of the specialist performing lip contouring are critical. First of all, he must choose the right drug, the density and molecular weight of which optimally correspond to the assigned tasks.
Violations of the procedural protocol - incorrect depth of drug administration, incorrect distribution, neglect of antiseptic rules, etc. - can lead to a variety of complications. Typical cosmetic problems are the filler being visible through the surface of the skin, its lumpy distribution or migration within the tissues, leading to lip deformation. A more serious group of complications is inflammatory processes, tissue scarring, fibrosis, vascular ischemia with the possible development of necrosis.
To avoid these problems, we strongly recommend that you seek such services exclusively from medical institutions that employ qualified specialists with experience, skills and techniques for performing these manipulations, and proven and certified drugs are used as fillers.
So, you decided to pierce your lips with hyaluronic acid.
Why not. The session of this type of augmentation is quite short: in less than 30 minutes you will get the perfect lips you desire (in rare cases, the procedure lasts about an hour). In addition to enlargement, this can include working with asymmetry, influencing drooping corners of the mouth, and eliminating wrinkles that reveal our age. Your face will be completely transformed.
Preparing for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid begins with familiarity and trust. Still, you need to be sure who you entrust this delicate procedure to. During your consultation at the clinic, determine with a specialist what effect you want to achieve:
- Make your lips sensual and sexy
- Carry out deep hydration
- Return to previous volume
- Make lips more juicy and vibrant
- Change the contour and get a new mouth shape (yes, even this is possible)
- Get an increase in thin lips with hyaluronic acid
- Raise the corners
- Remove fine wrinkles by smoothing the mouth line
- Change proportions
- And finally, just feel the rejuvenation of your lips
Everything is possible. In some cases, the effect after injection lip augmentation will include not one wish fulfilled, but several. The main thing is to choose the right drug and the right amount of gel with hyaluronate. In addition to manufacturing companies, gel fillers differ from each other in types. There are absorbable and permanent formulations. The action of the latter is much longer.
Women do not always want to change the shape of their mouth or make it larger entirely. Many of them have already appreciated all the advantages and benefits of upper lip augmentation. The reviews are: “Effective. Fast. Painless. Hypoallergenic. Comfortable. Safely". Surprisingly, according to statistics, it is the upper lip that is often thinner than the lower lip. In our quest for harmony, we then choose to increase only the upper half. In this case, the line of injections will be adjusted directly during the session.
Filler injection techniques
Micro-injections are made into the upper layers of the epidermis near the lip contour.
Linear injections - deep insertion of a needle with a minimal amount of drug. Used to highlight the contour.
The volume-linear method helps to visibly enlarge the lips. The drug is administered in significant dosages.
"Mona Lisa" - allows you to raise the corners of your mouth.
Parisian technique - vertical injections that give natural swelling without affecting the contours of the lips.
Fan technique in the corners of the mouth - creates support to prevent gravitational ptosis.
Grid – administration of the drug along cross lines. The method makes lips firmer and fuller.
Lip augmentation: contraindications
No self-respecting cosmetologist or doctor will avoid the topic of taboos. There are situations when performing such manipulations as lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is not recommended or not possible at all.
- Let's start with age: this procedure is not recommended for people under 18 years of age.
- If you have allergies or reactions to certain medications, preparations, or compounds, be sure to tell us about this during your consultation.
- One piece of advice for pregnant and breastfeeding women: postpone the procedure.
- Do you know that your skin diseases have worsened? Take a break and start treating them. If you have herpes or neurodermatitis, your cosmetologist will strongly recommend postponing manipulations to increase lip volume to a later time.
- The issue of lip augmentation during menstruation remains very controversial. Reviews from doctors on this matter vary slightly. It all depends on individual characteristics. But the majority considers injections during menstrual periods to be not entirely advisable, since during this period the body retains fluid and undergoes surges in hormonal levels. It is better to carry out the manipulation in the middle of the cycle.
Unfortunately, a number of other contraindications appear for all procedures related to hyaluronic acid, injections and other cosmetic procedures that involve active intervention in the vital processes of the body. These are cancer, problems with blood clotting, diabetes.
Preparation for lip augmentation
At the clinic, a mandatory part of the procedure will be to test your body for sensitivity to the composition, the so-called allergy test. A doctor or cosmetologist is always required to make sure that no dangerous consequences for your body will follow after the injections.
Immediately before the lip augmentation process with hyaluronic acid, you will be treated with a special anesthetic composition or given a barely perceptible injection of anesthesia to make the procedure as painless and comfortable as possible for you. This can be a cream, gel, ointment, or a drug with lidocaine. You will only feel a noticeable cooling effect, followed by a slight numbness. Don't worry, that's how it's meant to be. After all, beauty requires sacrifice. When and how to inject lips with hyaluronic acid, the specialist will determine.
The injection and manipulation technique itself involves not only carefully introducing the composition under the skin, but also delicate distribution of the gel: after the injection, a small massage of the area where the injection was given will be required. This is necessary so that the substance spreads evenly and forms the necessary contour: this way you can avoid unnecessary formations and balls under the skin.
After pinpoint injections, a cooling compress will be required. This is the final stage of each session, aimed at reducing subsequent swelling. But be prepared and don’t be alarmed: it will still be there, albeit small, as well as mild pain. This is due to the sensitivity of the oral mucosa and internal processes launched under the skin by hyaluronic acid. In addition, the effect of the injections in any case is slightly traumatic.
Some people are interested in how to prolong the effect of hyaluronic acid in the lips. If you choose a gel with a temporary result, then the procedures will have to be repeated from time to time. There is nothing wrong with this, but, of course, it will require financial investments. However, how nice it is to invest in yourself. Remember, the duration of the effect depends on the viscosity of the composition.
Contraindications after lip augmentation
You will see the magical effect immediately after the session. But you will be able to evaluate the final result in a couple of days (perhaps a little longer, depending on the individual characteristics of your body), when the swelling disappears. There may be a decrease in sensitivity for some time. These days, while the process of tissue restoration is underway, try to avoid active cosmetic procedures, peeling and solarium, do not drink alcoholic and fizzy sweet drinks, and exclude spicy foods from your diet. Bathhouse, swimming pool, sauna - under no circumstances.
But with the rules and indications after lip augmentation, everything is clear. Be sure to consume plenty of fluids; it’s not just allowed, it’s necessary. Try to drink 2 liters of water.
Getting carried away is dangerous
It’s a pity that no one keeps statistics on girls who are addicted to lip augmentation.
However, those who have Instagram do not need statistics. Either because fillers need to be constantly updated, or because the best is the enemy of the good, it’s very possible to overdo your lips.
Just in case: if you are going to see a cosmetologist, start with the minimum. If you want more, go again. But it’s better to think for a couple of extra weeks whether you really need it.
And even more so, do not try to enlarge your lips several times from the first procedure, do not stretch the tissue.
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid: pros and cons
With the advantages after this procedure, everything seems to be very clear: you got the wonderful shape of the lips that you have long dreamed of, every day you admire the wonderful volume of your renewed luxurious lips, you are rejuvenated, you forgot about those unpleasant small wrinkles around your mouth, you nourished your lips with moisture and vitamins. The procedure is safe and there are no traces of injections after just a few days.
NB Disadvantages of lip augmentation
Perhaps the main problem we face is the inability to stop in time. Some take their desires for big, plump lips to the extreme. However, it is worth thinking about proportion and harmony, so as not to look ridiculous later.
The second obvious drawback is the courage to carry out the procedure at home and without proper preliminary preparation. Unfortunately, if lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid was carried out by an unqualified specialist, the consequences of such manipulations can be tragic. And they often have to be dealt with using surgical methods.
When you come to the clinic, you and a specialist will come to the best decision and result so that you can look at yourself in the mirror every day and happily notice “I am beautiful”!
