Well-defined, plump lips, a gift from nature, decorate a woman’s appearance and attract attention. But if nature has not been so generous to you, you can correct the shape and size of your lips with the help of corrective plastic surgery. It is carried out on the basis of special drugs called fillers.

What is lip filler

Lip filler is a medical product for injecting and changing their volume and shape. Depending on the composition, there are 3 types of fillers:

• biodegradable - the most popular due to the content of hyaluronic acid and collagen, which are easily removed from the body after a few months and do not cause negative reactions;
• biosynthetic – compatible with the body, but there is a risk of side effects;
• synthetic - with the longest lasting effect and a high probability of rejection due to the content of artificial additives.

The duration of action of biodegradable fillers is up to 12 months, biosynthetic fillers are up to 5 years, synthetic fillers are up to 10 years.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages include:

• The very presence of hyaluronic acid in the composition of the drug. Since it is of natural origin, it does not cause allergic reactions in the body when used.
• Long-term effect (more than a year).
• No scars.
• Versatility.
• Ability to combine with other cosmetic procedures.

After the gel is removed from the body, the lips will take their natural shape and become the way they always were. The only disadvantage of the procedure is the cost.

Description of drugs Overage

The Overage line consists of three fillers - Derma, Deep, Deeper, differing in the degree of biogel density, and a biorevitalizant - Meso. All these cosmetic products are injected under the skin. They are designed to combat age-related changes and for non-surgical contouring.

The main component of each drug is hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin of a high purity level. This minimizes the development of allergic reactions and side effects. The concentration of the active substance in all four positions is 23 mg/g. The difference lies in the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid. The higher it is, the faster the result is visible and the longer it lasts.

Overage Derma

Derma contains an active substance with the smallest molecular mass, that is, the gel consists of the smallest particles. It is created to affect the superficial and middle layers of the skin. The drug is used for:

• filling moderately expressed wrinkles in the forehead, bridge of the nose, around the mouth;
• getting rid of aesthetic problems under the eyes;
• increasing the volume and correcting the shape of the lips;
• elimination of thin folds in the neck, back of the hands, and décolleté.

The filler contains two types of hyaluronate, the combination of which helps reduce the number of inflammatory reactions, as well as reduce the destructive effect of protein on collagen. The result after injections lasts for 6-8 months.

Overage Deep

Injected into the middle and deep layers of the epidermis. Used to naturally sculpt the face, replenish missing volumes, and smooth out deep wrinkles. Recommended for:

• correction of atrophic scars;
• correction of the back of the nose;
• volumization and lifting of all necessary areas of the face;
• restoration or modeling of the oval;
• lip augmentation

Overage Deeper

The drug is the most dense and heaviest, but this does not impair plasticity. Injections are made into the deep layers of the skin. Cosmetologists also call it a volumizing filler. During biorevitalization Overage, Deeper gel penetrates all layers of the skin. Thanks to this, it is possible to get the longest lasting result. The main objectives of the tool include:

• filling deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds;
• non-surgical rhinoplasty;
• oval modeling and face lifting;
• elimination of symptoms of drooping upper eyelid;
• raising the eyebrow arches.

Overage Meso

The drug is a skin booster. The hyaluronic acid included in the composition for biorevitalization helps to moisturize, strengthen and smooth the epidermis. The gel penetrates the superficial and middle layers of the skin. It is used for:

• smoothing the skin of the hands;
• moisturizing the red border of the lips;
• restoration of the quality, structure and density of the skin;
• smoothing out fine wrinkles and small scars.
• eliminating dark circles under the eyes;
• correction of water balance in epidermal cells.

Overage Meso is ideal for women with dry, thin skin and fine-wrinkled aging.

Injections, plastic surgery or makeup?

To select correction methods, you must be guided by quality parameters and duration of the effect.

The injection method has a duration of action of 1 year, depending on the type of filler. Surgical treatment gives a permanent effect.

Plastic surgery corrects the following deviations:

• super thin lips;
• cleft lip defect;
• unnatural exposure of gums.

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

The following surgical methods are used:

• insertion of lip implants from patient tissue or silicone;
• skin tightening using an incision in the nasolabial fold;
• cutting the inside of the lip and stitching the lower part in a special way;

You can also visually enlarge your lips using makeup. You will need to outline the contour of your lips, slightly departing from the natural line, with a pencil. Then cover with bright lipstick, and apply and blend a small amount of gloss to the central part of the lips.

Cost of drugs and procedures

The average cost of the procedure depends on the price of the drug and is presented below:

Patient reviews on the use of lip fillers

Violetta, 34 years old, Rostov-on-Don:

I have had a big nose since birth. A cosmetologist I know recommended me lip modification products based on hyaluronic acid to compensate for the large size of my nose. I read positive reviews about fillers, found out that it was not a long process and agreed. The Korean filler Ivory was introduced, the session was painful, but I was pleased with the good result. My expressive nose looks organic on my face. Friends say that I have become prettier. Until the next course I will use Faberlic balm.

Suzanna, 42 years old, Dimitrovgrad:

Previously, when I smiled, my gums were visible and it spoiled my mood. Colleagues advised me to go to a cosmetology clinic. Experts recommended enlarging the lips to eliminate the defect. The injection of the densest Otesaly Derm filler went well, the swelling subsided partially within a day, then went away completely. Now I have a beautiful smile, no gums visible. In a year I will go to the same attending physician to confirm the results. For now I will use Libriderm balm.

Ksenia, 32 years old, Semipalatinsk:

Tattooing did not help correct lip asymmetry. The shape was corrected using Amalain filler. I counted more than 10 injections. Despite the anesthesia and the content of lidocaine in the filler, it was quite painful. The attending physician said that I have increased sensitivity. But the most unpleasant thing was after the session. On the first day, balls formed under the skin. To remove them, I had to order pills from the pharmacy according to the list that was given to me at the clinic. Fortunately, all this did not last long and the result was excellent. My smile became symmetrical and beautiful. Next time I'll try Neuramis Lidocaine. I advise everyone to correct the defect.

Tamara, 54 years old, Kirov:

I used Aquashine filler for a long time. I found out that the filler Filorga has a higher rating. I decided to buy it, but didn’t notice much difference. I will continue experimenting to choose the right filler and make a smile like the Mona Lisa. Next year my friend and I will use Princesses.

Dosage and duration of effect

It is difficult to speak unequivocally about the amount of drug required for the procedure. This depends on the viscosity of the product, as well as on individual indicators. Gels of medium viscosity are considered standard , which are evenly distributed and simplify the procedure itself.

• 2.5-3 ml are used for skin rejuvenation, as well as for the effect of very full forms. At the same time, the natural form is as thin as possible.
• 1-1.5 ml – for pronounced fullness of the lips.
• 0.5 ml – for a natural small volume. Used on middle lips.

The duration of the effect will depend on the type of viscosity of the product . A low viscosity gel is excreted over several months, while a high viscosity gel takes 18 months.

Experts say that repeated hyaluronic injections should be done every 6-9 months. The absence of repeated injections results in the skin regaining its original appearance: wrinkles return and lips lose volume.
