Lip contouring with hyaluronic acid. Recommendations and contraindications
Lip augmentation with filler occurs by introducing hyaluronic acid-based gels under the skin. As a result, the appearance of the skin improves, firmness and elasticity increases, and tissue regeneration processes are stimulated. Indications for lip contouring with fillers:
- insufficient volume by nature or as a result of age-related changes;
- pronounced asymmetry;
- drooping corners of the mouth;
- lack of a clear lip contour.
It is not recommended to perform lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid in the presence of autoimmune, viral, bacterial diseases, inflammation and rashes in the injection area, as well as during pregnancy, lactation, and exacerbation of chronic diseases. Hyaluronic acid is a substance of natural origin, produced by the human body, and therefore does not cause allergic reactions.
Labiaplasty. Correct plastic surgery of the labia, which increases their sensitivity
Olesya Intimate plastic surgery →
I believe that if for various reasons you want to change something in your body/your appearance, you need to do it, and first of all, only for yourself.After giving birth, the shape of my labia changed significantly: atrophy of the labia majora and hypertrophy of the labia minora, the labia minora were asymmetrical, one increased to 5 cm and they were also not covered by the labia majora. As a result, I didn’t like the appearance, which seemed to be something I could live with, but most of all I experienced discomfort when playing sports, riding a motorcycle and cycling. In preparation for the operation, I became familiar with various types of intimate plastic surgery and their consequences. At the time when I was advised to contact Vladislava Vladislavovna Gladysheva, I had already received consultations from two other plastic surgeons. I studied all the information about doctors' education, experience, practice and certifications. Look at what certificates Vladislava Vladislavovna has, what associations of doctors she is a member of, where she did her internship, you will be surprised when you compare her experience with others. Some don’t even have residency training. Assistant Irina helped me quickly sign up for an online consultation, as well as choose the date of the operation according to the schedule of my menstrual cycle. Only 26 days passed from the moment of my first SMS to the operation. Irina was always in touch, for which special thanks to her! At the first consultation, the doctor talked about the technique she uses, warned about the risks, and explained the rules for care after the operation. Vladislava Vladislavovna is a competent specialist, an intelligent and very beautiful girl with good taste (look at Instagram). It was important for me to find not just an expert in operations in this area, it was also important for me that the person impressed me. I remember her phrase: “Such a small operation, but how much it means for a woman!” And indeed it is. I had labiaplasty performed with a wedge-shaped resection, excess skin on the clitoris was removed (there are a lot of medical terms in the extract, I decided to write in my own words), the labia majora were corrected with lipofilling, and there were also injections of hyaluronic acid filler into the vaginal canal. When I was already lying in the operating room, the anesthesiologist (Vladimir Vladimirovich) played pleasant music and controlled my immersion in sleep. The last thing I remember is the incredibly beautiful blue eyes of Vladislava Vladislavovna. I recovered well from the anesthesia. Rehabilitation took 2 weeks. I would say that the recovery process is more than comfortable, not what many people write in their reviews on the Internet. I followed all the recommendations completely. I spent the first 2 days in a horizontal position. I was resting. From the 3rd day, a normal working day began, and thanks to self-isolation, no one even noticed that I was working half-lying down. On day 5 I felt slight discomfort due to swelling of the threads. On day 14, my stitches were removed and I was allowed to return to normal life. I have fully recovered. Sensitivity has increased! No seams are visible. And how beautiful this part of my body is now. I really wanted labiaplasty to be done by a professional surgeon, so that sensitivity would be preserved and it would be comfortable to play all sports. Everything happened as I dreamed. My husband, when he saw the result, said /smiled sweetly/: “They did it beautifully, it’s cool, it’s not clear at all that they did anything.” Everything in intimacy is gorgeous now, I noticed that I’m no longer shy. I express my sincere gratitude to Vladislava Vladislavovna! She is doing a very important job. By correcting my body, she beautified my inner state. Thank you!

Injection methods of cheiloplasty
- Microinjections. Piercing along the contour of the mouth to a slight depth. Used for easy correction.
- Linear injections. The microneedle penetrates quite deeply under the skin.
- Tracing technique. It involves a mix of the two previous methods.
- Cheiloplasty "Paris". Assumes vertical placement of the needle. The injection proceeds according to the following scheme: the first injection is administered 0.4 mm from the corner, then moved in increments of 2 mm. Cheiloplasty “Paris” is completed at the top point at a distance of 4 mm from the lip.
- French technology. Its purpose is not so much to fill as to thicken aging lips. The punctures are made in the transverse direction and try to distribute the drug evenly.
How does the procedure work?
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is performed on an outpatient basis, does not require preliminary preparation, and takes up to 40 minutes. After applying the anesthetic cream, the doctor, using a disposable syringe with a microneedle, injects the drug into the lips and distributes it with massage movements. The effect is noticeable immediately and lasts for 6-13 months - full, moist, clearly defined lips. In some cases, there is slight swelling in the correction area, which goes away within 1-2 days.
Features of the French lip shape
It is this lip shape that is characteristic of many famous French women, such as Brigitte Bardot, Vanessa Paradis and many others. This is how they looked without any correction. In the modern world, nothing prevents you from going and doing procedures that can make your lips not only better, but also more similar to your favorite actresses or singers.
One of the well-known methods of lip augmentation, which gives not only maximum naturalness, but also volume, is the Parisian technique. This method of lip augmentation is associated with France, but it has gained popularity everywhere. Many girls think about this technique. The final shape of the lips differs from those obtained after choosing other products. After the procedure of the French technique of lip augmentation, they have a natural shape. They look innocent and have rounded features. Parisian lips do not create a pronounced “pumped up” effect. They are rounded into an oval, becoming swollen, but at the same time they are aesthetic.
The upper lip looks slightly raised, a little plump, but not huge or swollen. The lower lip should match the shape of the upper. The face becomes fresh, youthful and slightly dreamy. After correction, it is impossible to distinguish lips from their natural shape. If the shape of the mouth is almost flawless, then the cosmetologist only has to correct the upper lip. The Parisian lip augmentation technique is popular due to its minimal investment and completion of the operation in a short time.

Reduction of labia minora
As we have already said, labiaplasty may include correction of several areas. The most common type of intervention is reduction of the labia minora. Normally they can be extended up to 5 cm, but sometimes this length can be uncomfortable. The most commonly used surgical correction technologies are a V-shaped incision or linear excision (in a straight line).
In the first case, the doctor makes a V-shaped incision in the skin and then stitches the edges. Direct (linear) excision for intimate plastic surgery is used less frequently, usually when a large volume of tissue needs to be removed. The incision may extend to the clitoris.
Correction of the shape (contour) of the lips - lips with a “bow”.
The raised cupid's bow and the elongation of the red border in the columns are responsible for the colorful shape of the lips.
It often happens that there is volume in the lips, but these elements are not expressed; in this case, working with mixed techniques allows you to give shape and relief to the upper lip.
Lip shape correction also includes the technique of superficial injections, when they try to make the lip profile flat (this lip shape has many names: “puff lips”, “flat lips”, and even “Russian lips”).
This technique is based on maximizing the deviation of the upper lip (with insufficient projection) and separating the upper lip to maximize the flatness of the nipple.
The problem with this technique is that the desired flatness of the lip arch is maintained only the first time, after which the lips “round” and lose their original shape, while remaining larger than they were before the correction.
The volume of fillers is injected during one visit - about 1 ml of the drug.
Preparation for labiaplasty
This type of plastic surgery is considered quite gentle, but preparation for the intervention is still necessary. Firstly, it is necessary to exclude the presence of contraindications. Restrictions include:
- blood clotting disorder;
- severe endocrine disorders;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- infectious diseases in the acute phase;
- fungal and infectious lesions of the vagina;
- presence of neoplasms.
You will need to do a general blood test, a gynecological smear, and a blood clotting test. Labiaplasty is not performed during menstruation, so the date of the operation must be clarified and agreed upon in advance. A few days before the procedure, you should also stop taking anticoagulants—drugs that reduce blood clotting.
The operation itself takes on average no more than one and a half hours. After the sutures are applied and treated, the patient can return home.
“Kissed lips” effect
Lips, due to their attractiveness, occupy an important place in the perception of female beauty. From ancient times until the mid-twentieth century, thin lips were considered the standard of beauty. But in the 50s of the last century, the fashion for thin lips had to give way to the image of the Hollywood star - Marilyn Monroe, who became and remains today a symbol of femininity and attractiveness.
Today, when patients come for lip shape correction and lip augmentation procedures, they increasingly ask the cosmetologist to achieve the effect of “kissed” lips. This is possible with the help of lip augmentation, a modern injection procedure designed to correct the shape and size of the lips.
The essence of augmentation is that correction occurs by introducing a biodegradable drug into certain areas. As a result, they become more hydrated, voluminous and rich. Over time, the drug decomposes and is naturally eliminated without causing harm. At the same time, the lips regain their original appearance.
To achieve the desired result, cosmetologists use different techniques for administering drugs.
One of the most popular methods today is the “Hollywood Volume”. It allows you to achieve volume and the effect of kissed lips through the effective combination of bolus and linear techniques.
Popular techniques also include:
- French lips. Hyaluronic acid is distributed along the entire perimeter of the lips in a cross or linear manner without affecting the corners and the very center. This technique helps to achieve a “bow” shape.
- Linear with contour filling. Hyaluronic acid is injected in small portions along the borders of the red border. This technique allows you to emphasize the bright contour. The fabrics achieve the required volume and uniform plumpness.
- Angel wings. The drug is injected into the upper lip, as a result of which it becomes voluminous, and the corners of the mouth become noticeably narrower.
- Mona Lisa. The technique is suitable for raising drooping corners by injecting along the contour, slightly retreating from the border.
- Safe administration. The method involves deep immersion of the needle and the use of a large volume of the drug.
- Linear-retrograde technique. As with bolus administration, a large volume of gel is applied. The needle is immersed to a depth, then the gel is evenly distributed onto the surface.
In general, the advantages of the procedure using hyaluronic acid include:
- Well tolerated
- Quickly achieve the desired result,
- Low degree of trauma,
- No allergic manifestations.
When preparing for lip augmentation, the patient should monitor his health. A week before the injection, you should refrain from taking alcoholic beverages and blood thinning medications.
Before the injection, a local anesthetic is applied to the site where the drug will be injected. Then the doctor injects the product using a thin needle, first along the natural contour, then beyond it, until the required volume is achieved. The duration is on average 30 minutes and does not cause any discomfort.
In most cases, one procedure is sufficient, but sometimes several sessions may be required to achieve the desired effect.
You do not need to be under the supervision of a doctor after the procedure. The rehabilitation period is short – 2-3 days. At this time, the lips will be slightly swollen, thickened, and slightly painful at the injection site.
During the first two weeks, you should avoid tactile, thermal and mechanical effects on the lips, and also avoid taking too hot and cold drinks, salty and spicy foods, and foods that can cause allergies and swelling.
Indications for postponing the procedure to another date are menstruation, pregnancy and lactation. As well as the presence of such contraindications as: hypersensitivity to drugs, dermatological diseases, fever, the presence of infections, blood clotting disorders, taking antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants during the last two months.
Summarize. Today, cosmetologists are able to skillfully correct the shape of the lips, giving them a “kissed” effect, while maintaining their naturalness. After the procedure, the lips acquire a symmetrical shape, look slightly swollen, moist and sensual. The corners of the lips are raised, which makes the facial expression benevolent. The effect of “kissed” lips after the procedure lasts up to 7-9 months.

Operation
As a rule, plastic surgery on the lips is performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia is also possible if desired. The duration of the procedure is up to two hours.
First, markings are applied to the skin in accordance with the problem and the chosen method for solving it, according to which the incisions are made. The lips are then shaped to the desired shape and absorbable sutures are placed at the edges of the incisions.
Immediately after the procedure, the doctor makes a bandage and applies ice to reduce pain and swelling.
