Lip injections are the introduction of drugs into the tissue that increase its volume. The cosmetic market regularly expands the range of services provided and methods to solve aesthetic imperfections. The composition is natural (hypoallergenic) and semi-synthetic.
The advantages and disadvantages of magnification
For many, lip augmentation is the only way to gain confidence and create the desired look. Advantages of the procedure:
- a wide range of correction materials;
- it is possible to hide imperfections, a deformed shape by increasing;
- inconsistent effect, which allows you to return to the natural contour;
- the ability to select the desired volume, depending on the amount of drug injected.
Disadvantages:

In some cases, dense balls may form inside. Lumps are caused by:
- Not deep enough filler injection.
- Improper care after surgery.
- A negative reaction of the body to the drug.
- Reduced immunity of the patient.
- Bad filler.
- Allergy to anesthesia.
Negative reactions occur due to tissue injury or intolerance to the filler used. Complications can be caused by insufficient sterility of the procedure and the inexperience of the cosmetologist.
Types of correction
Techniques:
- gel injections;
- lipofilling;
- cheiloplasty (surgical and modeling);
- Permanent make-up;
- electroporation.
Lip augmentation is performed using biopolymer and biodegradable gels based on hyaluronic acid. Biopolymers include special products that have a lasting effect. It is not recommended to use it during the first correction procedure or when working with an unverified master.
The second group is represented by injectable drugs. Injections can be used to inject the gel into a lip or nasolabial fold. An upper lip augmentation is popular, with asymmetry from the lower one. The anesthetic is injected into an ampoule with a filler or previously. To reduce pain, use a cream.
Silicone injections are used less frequently. Semi-synthetic material is unable to self-eliminate from the body. You can't pump your lips with botulinum toxin injections, but you can give them natural vibrant volume and a healthy look. The effect is achieved thanks to the effect of Botox on muscle tone: the drug reduces muscle contraction. The fabric is smoothed, the lips appear visually fuller.
Lipofilling consists in filling the lips with their own adipose tissue. The operation is performed under general anesthesia, due to the blocking of the adaptation of new tissue cells by local anesthesia.
Surgical cheiloplasty involves implanting the implant into the tissue. During the operation, an incision is made on the inner side of the lip and the implanted material is placed. Plastic surgery is performed for medical reasons or for aesthetic reasons. For the correction of the contour, special drugs are used, which are injected into the mouth, mesonites. After several punctures, the threads are inserted into the fabric, which form a skeleton. Thanks to its additional coverage with fibrous tissue and collagen fiber, a natural volume is created without changing the shape of the mouth.
Electroporation is a new technique for lip augmentation and reshaping. The procedure does not cause pain to the patient and has no complications. It is performed on special equipment, with the help of which useful components are delivered to the fabric. To achieve the appearance of full lips, there is no need to pump enlargements into them or resort to plastic surgery. Permanent makeup can become a substitute for methods. Permanent makeup allows you to give your lips a rich shade, highlight their contour and slightly correct the shape, thereby achieving the visual fullness of the lips.
Features of lip augmentation
Lip augmentation procedures and services are harmless and do not require special training. But under certain conditions of the female body, the operation has contraindications. You need a medical consultation.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding
During pregnancy, a woman's hormonal background changes, sensitivity increases. You may have an allergy to the pain reliever or a reaction to the drug.
The interaction of a pregnant woman's body with fillers has not been studied; doctors do not recommend injections while they are in place. When planning a pregnancy, you should take into account the time the drug leaves the body.
Injections of natural preparations - hyaluronic acid and collagen, do not harm the body of a nursing mother. Doctors believe that injections of anesthesia are harmful, without which it is difficult to endure pain. Cosmetologists prefer not to do them while breastfeeding.
With menstruation
Giving injections during your period increases the likelihood of swelling and bruising. In the process, bleeding can increase, sensitivity to injections. Due to increased blood circulation, increased vascular tone, after an increase during menstruation, the result may be less than usual.
How much is saved the result with various techniques
Biopolymers have a long-term effect among injectables. The product can last up to 5-6 years. Biodegradable gels last from six months to 1 year. Botulinum toxin has a cumulative effect, with each procedure its duration increases. Initially, the interval between injections is 3-4 months. With lipofilling, the adipose tissue introduced in most cases remains forever, but in some situations it requires a refill after six months or a year.
With the introduction of silicone, the mouth acquires its final shape after a couple of months. The duration of exposure is determined by the patient. The drug does not dissolve in the human body, it is extracted by cosmetic means and with the help of surgery. The same goes for surgical cheiloplasty.
To achieve the effect of the electroporation procedure, a course of 6-8 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks is required. A repeat course can be done in one year. The lip tattoo lasts up to 3-5 years and is gradually erased, losing color.
