About the service

Хейлопластика - что это такое? Это хирургическое вмешательство, целью которого является коррекция эстетики верхней и нижней губы, модификация их формы, объема и размеров, а также устранение возможных деформаций.

Для достижения желаемого результата проводится иссечение участка кожи или смещение слизистой. В отличие от методов контурной пластики, предполагающих применение филлеров, результаты хейлопластики остаются на протяжении всей жизни пациента.

Indications and contraindications for lip correction

Cheiloplasty is recommended for people with thin and expressionless lips. Additional indications:

  • Discrepancy between the sizes of the upper and lower lips
  • Ugly smile
  • Presence of scars and other defects

Cheiloplasty is not performed in the presence of inflammatory processes on the facial skin and against the background of the development of an active form of herpes. Patients with diabetes and lupus erythematosus should always consult with their doctor before surgery.

Injection methods for lip correction

Injection methods for lip correction can not only change their shape and volume, but also restore their youth.

One of the main drugs used in this procedure is hyaluronic acid. This natural component is able to retain moisture, making lips more elastic.

Another method of injection correction is lipofilling. This procedure uses the patient's fat, for example taken from the abdominal area. After processing and cleaning, it is injected into the lips.

Techniques for lip augmentation and correction

There are many professional lip surgery techniques that allow you to achieve an ideal result.

All types of interventions are performed under local anesthesia. In some cases, additional sedation is required to reduce pain. A long stay in the clinic after the procedure is usually not required.

Basic lip surgery techniques:

  • Classical technique It involves making small incisions on the mucous membrane of the lip. Next, correction and fixation are carried out.
  • Paris technique It complements the classic technique with a horizontal incision, making the lip contour more clear.
  • Resection DAO This technique is aimed at correcting drooping corners of the lips.
  • Corner elevator This is a complex procedure that includes correction of the skin and deep muscle layers.
  • Reduction technique It involves removing part of the skin from the central part of the lips.

Other techniques

There are other techniques for lip augmentation and correction. Specialists especially highlight 3 methods.

Bulhorn ("bull's horn")

This technique is aimed at reducing the distance between the upper border of the lips and the nose. This method allows you to achieve the effect of facial rejuvenation.

During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision under the nose and removes a small strip of tissue resembling the shape of a bull's horn. After this, the upper lip rises and its edge turns slightly outward. Against this background, visually it becomes more complete.

Kesselring

This technique allows you to increase the volume of the upper or lower lip. During the procedure, the surgeon removes a thin strip of tissue. After this, the lip is partially turned out and fixed in place.

The seams are made carefully along the contour of the lips. This minimizes the risk of visible scars.

VY plastic

This method is aimed at increasing lip volume using the patient's own tissue.

The process involves the surgeon making V-shaped incisions on the lip. Then, using absorbable sutures, he sutures the incisions so that the lip takes on a Y-shape. This allows for additional volume to be added.

General information about the procedure

Preparation and types of surgical intervention

Before the operation itself, the doctor sends the patient for a comprehensive examination, which includes, in particular, tests.

1-2 days before the intervention, the patient should refrain from smoking. You should stop taking medications that affect blood clotting 72 hours before surgery. The last meal should be 9 hours before surgery.

Recovery after lip surgery

The first 24 hours after surgery are the most painful. During this time, it is advisable to try to talk less. This is required to reduce the risk of damage to the structure of the seams.

During the first week after surgery, swelling appears and a feeling of tightness in the lip area occurs. This is a standard reaction to surgery: most symptoms usually disappear within 7 days. Pain-relieving ointments can be used to reduce discomfort. To avoid infection of the seams, they must be treated with a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling.

Over the next 3 weeks, you must follow a gentle diet - eat warm soups and pureed foods. In addition, in order to have less interaction with the operated area, it is recommended to drink through a straw.

Refrain from visiting baths and saunas, avoid direct sunlight. Also try not to tilt your head down or massage the lip area, so as not to injure their surface. It is better not to use decorative cosmetics until complete healing. Physical activity, including sports training, should also be limited.

Possible risks after lip correction

In most cases, wounds heal without a trace, but sometimes scars form that require additional treatment. In some cases, after changing the shape of the lips, noticeable asymmetry appears, requiring additional correction.

I was admitted to the clinic with carcinoma. I am happy that I ended up in the hands of Ivan Aleksandrovich. A very competent, attentive to the patient, and most importantly - an honest doctor. I received answers to all my questions and was offered several options for subsequent plastic surgery. The doctor came personally for dressings, after discharge I could always ask questions at subsequent dressings. If you have a choice and have the opportunity to go to Ivan Aleksandrovich - know that you are in reliable and good hands.

I had surgery in this clinic with Mitoyan Ruzanna Yesaievna, the doctor made an impression from the first appointment. During the consultation, everything was explained in detail about how it goes, what is needed for the operation to take place, and what recovery is like. I received very competent answers to all my questions, I compare with other clinics where I consulted, they wanted to impose such a feeling more than anything else. I really liked her delicacy, attentiveness, charge with calm and confidence. On February 22, 2024, I had upper blepharoplasty, the operation went perfectly, the postoperative period was easy, I followed all the recommendations and no problems arose, there were almost no bruises or swelling and everything healed very quickly. I want to express my deep gratitude to you for your professionalism and light hand! I was delighted with my eyes! It’s been a long time since my look has been so fresh and not overweight. And another miracle that you did - you saved all my colored permanent makeup on my eyelids!

Many thanks to Galina Telnova. Great professional. In December 23, I had my eyes done (bottom, top), I was terribly afraid that my appearance would change, that something would go wrong. Everything went perfectly. Attentive nurses. Galina Sergeevna inspires with calmness and confidence. Very grateful. I like myself very much. If I decide to undergo any more plastic surgery, only go to Galina Sergeevna Telnova.

I had breast shape correction and abdominoplasty done at K+31. After the operation, I spent only 3 days in the ward, after which I went home and recovered at home. I waited about two months for complete healing. The clinic (West) has excellent staff, friendly attitude

Many thanks to plastic surgeons K+31! All my life I suffered from back pain due to the constant load on the spine... Finally, at the age of 45, I decided to have a breast reduction. Within a week, the swelling went down and I finally had small breasts. The rehabilitation period passed as quickly as possible and without complications.

The augmentation was done in early autumn with round Mentor implants. I wanted to achieve the maximum effect and I was right. The breasts are firm, soft and beautiful, the seams are not visible. +100 to confidence. If you want a more natural effect, the doctor may suggest teardrop-shaped implants.

I contacted Dr. Ruzana Mitoyan about intimate plastic surgery (resection of the labia minora), the result exceeded all my expectations, I was afraid of pain and disappointment from the final result, but everything is fine, even better than I expected! The doctor was in touch, the rehabilitation period was easy.

Ruzanna Yesaievna made the most pleasant impression on me even during the consultation. She explained everything in detail about the operation, anesthesia options, and rehabilitation. After the consultation, we set a date for the surgery. The operation itself went well, there were no complications. Although I planned to spend the night under observation, I went home because I felt good. It is now 9 days after surgery. There was no pain from the word at all, not a single seam came apart. Now the healing is progressing at its own pace, without causing me any discomfort. And the result is already incredibly pleasing! Ruzanna Yesaievna is a tough professional who does her job with love. I am very glad that I ended up with her. Choosing a surgeon is a rather difficult process. Based on my experience, I can confidently recommend Ruzanna Yesaievna.
