At the moment, the cosmetic procedure of lip augmentation is one of the most popular. For those who do not tolerate pain, it should be said that this procedure is painless, besides it is safe and simple enough to use. Skilled professionals need only a few minutes to get the patient's lips to acquire the volume and shape that they had when they were young. Modern technologies in cosmetology make it possible to make lips as expressive and attractive as possible, but they will have a very natural look.
As a rule, this procedure is recommended for those who have asymmetric lips or are not very expressive in form. Also undergo this procedure are women with thin lips. The most effective method is hyaluronic acid for lip augmentation, or rather the use of drugs based on this substance (fillers).
Hyaluronic acid
The name of this acid was given by two scientists - K. Meyer and John Palmer, it happened in 1934. They selected it from the eye. This acid is a natural component that fills the intercellular space in the human body; it is necessary in order to bind the molecules of water. According to the data, the human body during the day forms and consumes about fifteen grams of this acid. The essence of the cosmetic procedure is that the introduced acid attracts and retains water molecules, that is, the moisture content in the lips increases significantly. Thus, not only the increase in the volume of the lips is achieved, but also their greater elasticity.
There are a lot of drugs - fillers containing hyaluronic acid. The specialist chooses a specific filler, as well as its number, depending on the characteristics of each patient, including age, wishes and tasks that need to be addressed. If we talk about the composition of fillers, then they have the same composition as hyaluronic acid, which is produced by the body.
Correction procedure
The procedure takes only a few minutes, but it can be divided into several stages.
First, anesthesia is done. The lips are injected with an anesthetic drug, which deprives them of too much sensitivity. Anesthesia can be done and not with the injection, but with the use of creams and gels.
Further, the preparation itself, i.e., the filler, is introduced. Enter this remedy under the skin.
After this, the doctor gives the desired shape to the lips with mechanical movements.
Finally, a specialist talks about recommendations and warnings, which include:
- restrictions of physical activity, because otherwise hematomas or bruising may occur;
- if necessary, increase the fluid intake. The amount of water needed is determined depending on how much acid was administered to the patient.
As a rule, the result of the procedure is immediately visible. However, the ideal form will appear only after two to three days, when the drug will attract and will retain a large amount of moisture.
