In this article, we will try to highlight in as much detail as possible all the nuances of the lip contouring procedure and answer the most common questions.

Lip contouring (augmentation) methods

There are two methods of lip augmentation - injection and surgical. Our clinic uses a low-traumatic injection method, which consists in highlighting the contour of the lips and replenishing the volume with the help of injections of biocompatible fillers - fillers.

Most of the fillers are hyaluronic acid-based gel. The technique is simple to execute, there are practically no possible complications. Filler injections can be used to make almost any lip volume and shape, and even correct asymmetry.

Parisian technology - a timeless classic

"Paris" or Parisian lips are the most common lip augmentation technique originally from France. A country that embodies luxury, beauty, sophisticated style. This lip augmentation technique has been used for over 5 years. French lips are "worn" by the luxurious Monica Bellucci and Keira Knightley.

It involves the use of vertical injections to give the lips puffiness without affecting the contours. Thanks to this, the filler gets into the central part.

After the procedure, the lips look natural, without a touch of vulgarity, and childishly swollen. The doctor can slightly unfold the upper lip or fill the lower lip with filler without stretching the mouth line and at the same time, without curling the lips inward.

The Parisian technique differs from other methods of correcting volume and shape. It concerns, first of all, the areas from the corners to the highest points of the upper lip, which is corrected first. The corners of the lips are not affected.

To give the O-shape, the filler is also injected into the lower lip.

The popularity of this technique has been tested over the years. No "duck mouth", the most natural effect.

In addition to its natural look, the Parisian technique has a number of advantages:

- Affordable price;

- Local anesthesia;

- The enlargement process takes 15 to 30 minutes;

- The technique does not injure the skin of the lips and does not stretch them;

- The minimum doses of the drug, getting into the tissues, fill the free space;

- There is no discomfort in patients since a small amount of filler is injected into the tissue;

- Fast recovery.

The clinic's doctors minimize the negative feelings of the injection. The filler is injected under the skin in small doses, every 2-3 mm. One syringe with a volume of 1 ml is enough.

The most advanced lip augmentation technology

This is a superficial injection technique. The essence of the method lies in the introduction of a filler into the superficial layer of the red border of the lips, where there is no activity of the circular muscle of the mouth and the blood supply is much less. Thanks to this, the specialist can simulate any lip shape, and the effect will be long-lasting. Superficial injections are well tolerated by patients under an anesthetic cream.

Micro-bolus lip augmentation technique

All lip contouring techniques give the desired result, but the correction of thin lips requires special efforts from doctors.

Basically, it is for the correction of thin lips that the micro-bolus filler injection technique is also used, which allows placing the filler in the lips with a maximum projection increase from one procedure. To obtain the desired volume and ideal shape, several procedures are often required. The second procedure is carried out a month after the first.

Our clinic uses the most advanced brands of fillers based on hyaluronic acid, which work as much as possible in this technique.

The micro-bolus technique allows the lips to remain natural by adding a slight puffiness to them.

Linear retrograde technique - a classic at all times

The Linear Retrograde Technique is the basic and most common filler injection technique. Linear technique with contour filling is also called classic. This filler technique allows you to create clear lip contours and increase volume. The filler is injected along the natural contour of the lips, or the entire volume of the lower and upper lips is filled.

The technique is used for:

1. Lip contouring and filling;

2. For the correction of wrinkles and folds;

3. Elimination of scars;

4. When working with perioral wrinkles;

5. The method is also used to strengthen specific facial areas: nasolabial folds, bridge of the nose, forehead.

The doctor inserts the needle at an angle of 30-40 degrees, and as it emerges, injects the active substance in uniform portions. The filler fills in the wrinkle from the bottom, forming a linear channel.

There are several types of linear retrograde techniques:

1. Fan. This technique allows you to correct the corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds, add volume to the lips;

2. Tracer. It is used to smooth out wrinkles;

3. Tunnel. The doctor manipulates the needle with reciprocating movements. The tunneling technique allows you to get rid of wrinkles of medium depth, noticeable scars, and other lip defects;

4. Mesh (reinforcement). It is used to lift the corners of the lips. The doctor makes a series of sequential injections, and then "draws" lines perpendicular to them, forming a mesh.

Drugs used for lip correction

Before the procedure, the doctor selects the necessary medication for consultation. There are 0.55 ml syringes - these are Juvederm Ultra Smile and Juvederm Volift. For those who just want to moisturize their lips, or who lack the volume of 1 ml, then 0.55 ml of Juvederm can be added for correction in a month.

All these drugs are safe and certified. The risk of developing side effects is minimal. With their help, you can get the desired result. If you are afraid of pain and this is the only reason why you have not yet enlarged your lips, then we recommend choosing Juvederm. Fillers from the Ultra series contain lidocaine. You will not experience any discomfort and the procedure will be painless.
