Features of hyaluronic acid

A polysaccharide called hyaluronic acid (HA) is found in the human body and performs a serious function of maintaining moisture and increasing skin turgor. The use of the substance to increase lip tissue suggests a number of special advantages:

  • Moisturizing. The substance is able to attract water molecules weighing 1000 times more than its own. Thanks to this, the acid makes the lips more voluminous and prevents them from drying out and peeling.
  • Shaping. Due to its outstanding viscosity, hyaluronic acid gives cosmetologists the opportunity to create the desired lip shape that is indistinguishable from the natural one.
  • Collagen stimulation. Injections of the substance activate the production of collagen fibers - a protein responsible for the turgor of the skin, thus improving the quality of the lips after the procedure.
  • Biocompatibility. The substance is well compatible with body tissues, safe for most people and rarely causes allergies. In case of side effects, such as swelling or bruising, they disappear in a few days.
  • Natural absorption. The substance is gradually absorbed by the body over 6-12 months, allowing you to avoid drastic changes in appearance and adjust the results at the right time.

The rehabilitation period is minimal, and after the enlargement procedure you can quickly return to normal activity. Mild swelling and redness disappear in a few days, which makes the procedure convenient even for busy people.

General information about the procedure

Procedure stages

The procedure for augmentation using hyaluronic filler goes through several key stages that guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the intervention. Detailed information about each stage of lip augmentation with hyaluronic:

  • Consultation with a doctor. Before the procedure, the patient meets with a cosmetologist. The doctor analyzes the features of the facial structure, discusses the patient's expectations and checks for contraindications to lip augmentation. This is critical to prevent adverse reactions
  • Preparation of the area. The cosmetologist thoroughly cleanses the skin of makeup and dirt, and then treats the area of future injections with an antiseptic to prevent infections. High-quality preparation reduces the likelihood of complications
  • Pain relief. To reduce discomfort, a local anesthetic is used in the form of a cream or injections, depending on the patient's preferences and the doctor's advice. This makes the process less unpleasant
  • Filler injection. The doctor injects hyaluronic acid through thin needles into specific areas of the lips, using various techniques to achieve the desired effect. The procedure lasts approximately 30-40 minutes
  • Massage. After the filler has been injected, the specialist gently massages the lips to distribute the material evenly, which prevents the formation of seals and helps to give a natural look
  • Completion of the procedure. After the augmentation, the doctor examines the lips to ensure that the filler has been distributed evenly. A cooling compress may be useful, reducing swelling and reducing discomfort after the injections

The change in the shape and size of the lips is immediately noticeable, but the final result becomes available after 5-7 days, when the swelling has finally subsided. The new lips last from six months to a year. The exact period depends on the characteristics of the patient's body and the drug used.

Result of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid

Using hyaluronic acid for augmentation brings noticeable and aesthetic results. Here are the main advantages of lip augmentation with filler:

  • Instant result. Immediately after injections, the lips look more voluminous - the patient can instantly see the changes
  • Preservation of natural appearance. Careful application and correct dosage of the filler guarantee natural changes in appearance, which is especially appreciated by lovers of naturalness
  • Correction of defects. The augmentation technique helps to eliminate asymmetry and add volume. For example, you can model only the upper lip or minimize wrinkles around the mouth
  • Moisturizing. Hyaluronic acid retains a large amount of moisture, making the lips soft and moisturized, which continues throughout the entire period of the filler's action
  • Duration of the effect. It can last up to a year, depending on the personal characteristics of the patient's body and the type of filler. This fact eliminates the need for frequent corrections
  • Quick recovery. Usually, swelling subsides within 1-2 days, and complete healing occurs in 5-7 days, which makes the procedure ideal for those who like an active lifestyle
  • Possibility of correction. If the effect of the intervention does not meet the patient's expectations, the introduction of hyaluronidase helps to remove the filler. Hyaluronic acid dissolves over time, which also allows you to return the lips to their previous size and shape in case of dissatisfaction with the result

Indications for lip augmentation with filler

Injections with hyaluronic acid, designed to increase lip tissue, are performed in the following situations:

  • The need for volume increase. The patient's desire to increase tissue volume in order to achieve a more aesthetic and attractive appearance
  • Asymmetry. The right and left sides of the lips can vary greatly in shape and size. Injections are used to achieve symmetry
  • Blurred contours. With age, the lip contour can lose its clarity. Fillers solve this problem
  • Dryness and flaking of the skin. Acid effectively moisturizes the skin, reducing dryness and improving the texture of the lips
  • Mimic wrinkles around the mouth. Injections can smooth out fine wrinkles around the mouth, giving the face a more youthful appearance
  • Age-related changes. Over time, lips lose their volume and elasticity. Fillers help restore their youthful appearance and freshness.
  • Shape correction. Injections can change the contours of the lips, making them more voluminous and expressive.
  • Lifting the corners of the mouth. Drooping corners can give a sad expression to the face. Filler injections help lift them, creating the feeling of a happier expression.

Wide possibilities and minimal trauma have made the lip augmentation procedure incredibly popular.

Post-procedure recommendations

Following the instructions after the hyaluronic acid filler injection is critical for successful recovery and prevention of problems. Here are the basic lip care measures after hyaluronic acid lip augmentation:

  • Avoid impact. Avoid touching your lips with your hands or applying pressure to them for the first 24-48 hours to avoid filler displacement and inflammation
  • Reduce activity. Avoid vigorous exercise and sports for 10-14 days, as high blood pressure can cause swelling and slow healing
  • Avoid hot foods. Avoid hot foods and drinks on the first day to avoid irritation and worsening inflammation
  • Abstain from alcohol. Avoid alcoholic beverages for the first 2-3 days, as alcohol dilates blood vessels and increases swelling
  • Do not smoke. Smoking immediately after the procedure worsens healing and increases the risk of complications, as nicotine constricts blood vessels
  • Moisturize. Regularly apply moisturizing balms or hygienic lipsticks to prevent drying and cracking

If signs of inflammation or herpes appear, immediately consult a doctor to prescribe adequate therapy.
