The most complete review of cosmetic lip correction
“I like her lips, will mine be the same?” - This is a completely common question in a cosmetologist’s office. It may surprise, bewilder and even irritate some, but the fact remains a fact. Most girls turn to a cosmetologist not to reveal their individuality, but to become as juicy, daring and sexy as that thing from Instagram.
Lips are often the first “height” that needs to be taken on the path to perfection.
In general, lip augmentation is one of the most requested procedures in my practice. From my first words it may seem that I am an ardent opponent of the procedure. But I hasten to dissuade you of this.
To understand the procedure for lip augmentation properly, it is worth abstracting for a while from examples of successful and not very successful lip correction. The procedure is magnificent and it is 100% worthy of a separate discussion.
Why is she so good? It allows you to do things that even a surgeon could not do before.
Lip correction on video
I really like to carry out this procedure, I just don’t try to “comb” everyone to one side in my work. I am close to individuality, naturalness and harmony in faces; I am disgusted by pretentiousness and ostentation. The work of a cosmetologist should not be visible from around the corner, even on such a bright and attention-grabbing area as the lips. Especially in this area!

Video: Fillers for lip correction
In this video you will learn about fillers that are used to correct lips and for other purposes.
Lip fillers. What are they and why are they needed?
Filler is a gel that can replenish the volume of the lips. Fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used for lips; they are injected into the area of the red border of the lips to restore or correct the shape, emphasize the contour, expand the corners of the lips and add volume to the lips (enlarge and correct).

What results can you expect after lip augmentation?
Lip augmentation by injection of fillers based on hyaluronic acid allows you to solve several aesthetic problems in a matter of minutes:
- Increase volume.
- Eliminate dryness and flaking.
- Correct asymmetry.
Here it is important to understand how long it takes for lips to heal after augmentation: on average 5-10 days. It is recommended to finally evaluate the result after 2 weeks.
When the recovery period passes, the lips will become moisturized and attractive, while maintaining their natural mobility and sensitivity.
Recommendations before the lip contouring procedure
It is better to start preparing before the procedure. The further speed of healing largely depends on this. First of all, you need to make sure there are no contraindications. You can clarify their list during the initial consultation. You should pay attention to the presence of damage in the area of upcoming injections, as well as the presence of herpes. It is recommended to refuse the procedure in case of exacerbation of chronic diseases, infections, etc. Particular attention should be paid to the presence of herpes.
After examining and consulting the patient, the doctor may prescribe antiviral drugs. This is due to the fact that intervention can provoke a recurrence of infections. But starting to take them on your own without first consulting a specialist is highly discouraged. Additionally, before the procedure you should not take blood thinners. They increase the likelihood of bleeding.
The method cannot be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Additionally, drinking alcohol before lip augmentation is prohibited. This increases the likelihood of swelling and bruising. Sports activities and visiting the solarium are also prohibited. If you follow the recommendations correctly, you can significantly reduce the risk of complications.
Possible consequences of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
To enlarge the lips, the cosmetologist injects the drug to a depth of approximately 3-4 ml. Fillers based on hyaluronic acid are biocompatible and absolutely safe, because... it is produced by our body. The risk of any complications is minimal.
What you might encounter:
- Individual intolerance and allergic reactions.
- Edema.
This is a normal reaction of the body to intervention. It goes away within a few days. - Bruise.
It is not dangerous and also goes away within a few days. - Lumps in the lips.
They may arise if the patient does not comply with the recommendations of the cosmetologist after the procedure. Less often due to a specialist error during the procedure.
Knowing what you can and cannot do after lip augmentation , you will avoid unpleasant consequences and shorten the recovery period.
Thin lips
• Working with thin lips . Thin and practically “absent” can be the upper and lower lip, or both at once.
Solution
A gradual correction is needed here; you shouldn’t immediately expect a WOW result.
Even if the face allows the lips to “swell” significantly, from the initial state, it is necessary that the drug is introduced gradually in 2-3 approaches, with an interval of at least a month, and preferably 3-4 months between procedures. In this case, it is easy to control the process and you can get a truly high-quality and natural result. Danger:
Firstly, failure to comply with everything described above in the pursuit of a quick, ideal result can lead to disastrous results.
Secondly, the doctor’s ignorance of the technique of working with thin lips and the incorrect selection of the density of the drug can reduce all efforts and costs to nothing.
Thirdly, with thin lips you need to know when to stop everything, because even a correctly technically administered drug, if in excess of it, will easily give a “duck” effect.
Pros:
After correction of thin lips, the face is incredibly transformed, for the better. It becomes more feminine, open and definitely more attractive.
What not to do after lip augmentation
A cosmetologist will definitely tell you how to care for your lips after the procedure. Compliance with the recommendations is especially important during the first two weeks, because... this greatly affects the result.
It is forbidden:
- Take a hot bath, shower.
- Visit the sauna, bathhouse, solarium.
- Drink hot drinks.
- Take medications that affect blood clotting.
- Drink alcohol and smoke.
- Paint.
- Apply creams and ointments. Exception: those recommended by the cosmetologist after the procedure.
- Actively move your lips - stretch, press, stretch, strain, open your mouth wide, etc.
- Visit the dentist.
- Press on lips.
- Engage in sports and heavy physical activity.
- Touch surfaces with your lips that you are not sure are clean, because... high risk of infection.
- Kiss.
Does it hurt to inject the drug into the lips?
Comparing the tools for contouring - a cannula and a needle, we can say that with the first, pain is minimized due to the smaller number of punctures and the blunt edge of the tip.
We prefer a cannula whenever it is appropriate. But if a cosmetologist has to “twist” the lips or significantly modify their shape, this tool is not suitable for the job. It only allows you to recreate the volume and outline the contour of the red border.
Many modern fillers contain lidocaine, which allows the introduction and distribution of the gel to be as comfortable and painless as possible. But patients are sometimes frightened by the very fact of the injection, because the lip area is very tender and delicate.
In this case, topical anesthesia is proposed:
- Anesthetic cream is applied to the skin
- The surgical field is covered with film
- The exposure is maintained for 15-30 minutes
For patients with a low pain threshold, we provide dental conduction anesthesia, which will completely dull the sensitivity of the lip area at all stages of the procedure.
The dominant opinion in the choice of drugs and techniques for lip contouring should be given to the doctor, although the wishes of the patient are necessarily taken into account. And the best way to get an ideal result without complications for the patient is to choose competent, reputable and responsible cosmetologists.

We trust a specialist
How long does the lip enhancement effect last? According to reviews, the result of the procedure (and above all, safety) depends on the competence of the cosmetologist, who correctly determines the degree of correction, selects the modification of the serum and, accordingly, the volume of HA.
It is extremely dangerous to trust your health to pseudo-specialists who use expired and uncertified drugs of questionable effect.
A cosmetologist at the Center for Healthy Aesthetics will tell you how long the effect of hyaluronic acid will last in your case during your initial consultation. Contact us!
How long does the result last?
The results last from several weeks to several years. On average from 4 to 18 months.
Duration depends on:
- individual characteristics,
- the chosen drug,
- compliance with the recommendations of a cosmetologist,
- number of procedures (the result of each subsequent procedure lasts longer).
We follow the rules
How long lip contouring will last depends entirely on the patient’s compliance with the cosmetologist’s instructions. As a rule, the main taboos concern only the first days or weeks after “beauty injections” (for example, a ban on hot drinks, restrictions on spa treatments and physical activity). Their main goal is to prevent the development of various complications and uneven distribution of the gel within the tissues.
The effect of voluminous lips will last longer if:
- maintain a complete water balance in the body (you need to drink up to 3 liters of water per day);
- use skincare and decorative cosmetics, the components of which are combined with “hyaluronic acid”;
- refrain from actions related to physical stress on the lips (stretching, biting, etc.);
- do not consume foods that increase metabolism;
- Limit sunbathing and sauna use.
Getting carried away is dangerous
It’s a pity that no one keeps statistics on girls who are addicted to lip augmentation.
However, those who have Instagram do not need statistics. Either because fillers need to be constantly updated, or because the best is the enemy of the good, it’s very possible to overdo your lips.
Just in case: if you are going to see a cosmetologist, start with the minimum. If you want more, go again. But it’s better to think for a couple of extra weeks whether you really need it.
And even more so, do not try to enlarge your lips several times from the first procedure, do not stretch the tissue.
Biorevitalization of lips
Biorevitalization of lips is the latest procedure that is definitely worth paying attention to.
Cosmetologists consider it one of the most effective and best, because... You can restore youth to your lips without surgery or long recovery. In principle, it can be performed on absolutely any part of the body. But, it is most often carried out on the face, because... representatives of the fair sex want to look beautiful at any age.
Lips age faster than other parts of the body. They have very thin skin, which often suffers from external influences and, as a result, quickly ages, lips lose moisture and sag.
What is meant by lip biorevitalization procedure?
Biorevitalization of lips is rejuvenation. The procedure is aimed at restoring youth to the lips, filling them with moisture, restoring their previous structure, forcing the cells to work and produce collagen. After the procedure, facial wrinkles disappear on the lips, the skin becomes elastic, smooth and they look young.
Cosmetologists recommend starting biorevitalization at the age of 25-28 to avoid the appearance of wrinkles.
Injections are given into the lips. The drug of unstabilized hyaluronic acid begins to actively work and under its influence the human body begins to produce its own hyaluronic acid.
It's no secret that with age, this acid practically ceases to be produced and the active aging process begins. And with the help of the drug, we restore its contents and return a second youth to the lips.
Indications for the procedure:
- Age-related changes;
- Wrinkles;
- Hyperpigmentation;
- Skin affected by smoking;
- Cuperosis;
- Skin smoothing;
- Lack of vitamins and other useful components;
- Correction.
Contraindications:
- Inflammation on the lips;
- Tumors;
- Pregnancy;
- Lactation period;
- Autoimmune diseases;
- Allergic reaction;
- Blood diseases;
- Psychological diseases;
- Recent peeling.
How does the lip biorevitalization procedure take place?
Before starting the procedure, the specialist must explain in detail all the details and conduct an allergy test. Be sure to look at all the certificates that indicate the professionalism of the master. Yes, and it’s better to contact a trusted specialist.
An anesthetic drug must be used. The drug is administered to the lips in two ways: laser or injection.
The laser method is not as popular as the injection method. To carry out the procedure, a special laser with low-frequency radiation is required. But it doesn't take less time. The procedure approximately takes about an hour.
Using injections it is much easier to inject the drug into the lips. The master is familiar with the technology and can inject hyaluronic acid at different distances.
15 minutes before the start of the procedure, the doctor removes all makeup from the lips and applies a disinfectant.
The injection is made with a thin needle. In some cases, flexible cannulas are used. To achieve a long-term effect, it is necessary to do several procedures over a certain period of time, approximately 3-5 weeks.
The doctor himself chooses the drug and prescribes the required number of procedures. He does this based on an analysis of the skin of the lips and age.
After the procedure, a disinfectant is applied to the lips. Sometimes the doctor will give a gentle massage to distribute the medication evenly over the area.
