Basic rules for lip correction
The first rule that must be observed by those wishing to inject fillers into the lips is the right choice of place and doctor. The clinic must have a license for cosmetology activities. Doctor - a certificate from the manufacturer confirming that the specialist has been trained to work with this product. And finally, you can inject fillers into your lips only when you are convinced that this drug has been used in the world for a long time and is registered and approved for use in the Russian Federation. It is worth asking the doctor how long ago and how often he has been performing lip correction. If he has been practicing lip filler injections daily for several years, he can be trusted.
Result of the technician
Plastic surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Usually V-Y and “Paris” last no more than an hour. The results of the procedure can be assessed within two weeks - by this time the main rehabilitation ends and the swelling subsides.
In the before and after photos you can see how the shape of the lips changes - they become fuller and more expressive. Small scars are practically invisible and do not require special care: a regular anti-aging cream and hygienic lipstick are enough.
Lip augmentation techniques: “Parisian (French) lips”
Lip contouring is a very popular cosmetic procedure that helps quickly create the desired lip shape.
The choice of procedure technique is an individual process; it is selected depending on the result expected by the patient.
French (or Parisian) lips are a commonly used lip augmentation technique that helps to achieve the desired volume while looking as natural as possible.
After the procedure, the lips acquire a rounded “O” shape and look completely natural.
Advantages provided by French technology:
- natural appearance of lips after the procedure;
- a relatively small amount of filler required for the procedure, often only 1 ml is sufficient;
- short duration of the procedure, about 15-30 minutes;
- local anesthesia eliminates discomfort from injections;
- short recovery period.
Sometimes, to achieve the desired effect, the drug needs to be injected only into the upper lip, but in other cases, injections are also given into the lower lip, but here the correction is minimal.
Procedure technique:
- the skin is cleansed and treated with antiseptics;
- a local anesthetic is applied;
- the needle is inserted vertically;
- the first puncture in the upper lip is made at a distance of 0.4 mm from the corner of the mouth;
- subsequent injections are performed every 2 mm to the highest edges, but without affecting the center of the lips;
- after that they switch to the other side and make symmetrical injections;
- the lower lip breaks off along the red border;
The drug is distributed evenly in tissues. The upper lip rises a little and increases in volume, but not too much.
The contours of the lips change, becoming more prominent and clear. The face looks younger and fresher.
An additional effect of the procedure is that the skin becomes smoother, wrinkles are smoothed out.
The purpose for which lip correction is performed may differ depending on the age of the patient:
- patients under 35 years old want to change and improve the shape of their lips;
- after 35 years, patients are interested in preventing age-related changes and restoring their shape and volume;
- after 45 years, the goal of the procedure is to restore volume and rejuvenate the lips.
To perform the procedure, fairly viscous fillers are used that can not only fill the tissue, but make it denser.
Strict adherence to your doctor's recommendations will make the recovery period easier.

Preparations for lip correction
Recently, several new drugs for correction and lip augmentation have appeared on the Russian market, inferior in price to the most common ones. For example, Dermaviscease, PerfecthaDerm, Amaline, Glytone. But the most reasonable thing would still be to use the most famous and proven products, since the maximum number of specialists around the world work with them, which means there is wide statistics of use, possible complications during lip correction and methods of dealing with them. Although, if a doctor at a reputable clinic actively and successfully uses some relatively new drug certified in Russia, it may make sense to try it. For example, the French filler Glytone contains the antioxidant mannitol, which is designed to prolong the safety of the injected gel. Mannitol in this case does not act as an antioxidant for the skin, but as a “preservative” for a longer, prolonged action of HA in the skin.
Contraindications
Before the procedure, be sure to consult your doctor and check for any contraindications.
- Pregnancy. The drug should not be used by pregnant women, as it may harm the fetus.
- Viral diseases.
- Fungal diseases of the skin.
- Allergy to the components of the drug.
Do not neglect the advice of specialists.
Possible complications
Edema and swelling, if the biorevitalization technique is followed, disappear after 24 hours. Damage to the capillaries causes bruising. They are removed using cold. Ice cubes are applied for several minutes. Do not hold it for a long time to prevent hypothermia.
Fibrosis rarely occurs. Due to drug rejection, nodules and lumps form. The filler may not be suitable in composition, but more often the cause of fibrosis is injections into the connective tissue. When the inflammatory process develops, adequate treatment is required.
Correction of errors involves the introduction of drugs that break down hyaluronate. Darsonvalization and ultrasound therapy are prescribed. If there is lip asymmetry, repeated injection of fillers is indicated. It is harmful to inject the drug immediately after the first biorevitalization. The cosmetologist prescribes a repeat procedure only after the control time has passed. It is possible that the asymmetry will disappear on its own in 7-10 days.
The best contouring preparations
You should choose a filler based on what goals you want to achieve and for how long. The best fillers are those made from hyaluronic acid.
