Lip correction with hyaluronic fillers is a cosmetic procedure that can enlarge lips and which can change their shape. Injection of dermal injections with hyaluronic acid is the method currently used most often for this purpose. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is normally found in your body. The procedure lasts 15-30 minutes. The effects of the treatment last from six months to a year.
WHY IT IS DONE (INDICATIONS)?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can affect the look of your lips by improving the appearance, structure and size of the lips.
Advantages of using hyaluronic acid filters:
• The ability to control the size and shape of the lips during injection.
• Gradually increase the size of the lips until the desired result is achieved.
• The irregularities and protrusions resulting from lips can be easily solved.
• Unlike the other filler type after injection of hyaluronic acid, bruises and swelling occurring are minimal.
• A relatively long treatment effect, which unfortunately is not permanent.
• Allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid are not possible because it is a substance that is normally found in our body. Allergic reactions can only arise on anesthetic (lidocaine) cysts and have the role of relieving pain during the procedure.
HOW IT IS PERFORMED?
• Before injecting hyaluronic acid, a doctor may give you a local anesthetic so that you do not feel pain.
• Hyaluronic acid is injected with very thin needles.
• After the injection, ice can be used to reduce the swelling and discomfort.
• You should see the injection effect immediately.
• It is best to avoid using lipstick or other cosmetic products for your lips immediately after treatment.
POTENTIAL RISKS
• Minimal bleeding, swelling and appearance of bruises, redness or heat at the injection site of hyaluronic acid disappear after several days of treatment.
• Serious side effects that rarely occur are: pronounced / prolonged or bruising of bruises lasting 7 to 10 days, asymmetry and irregularities of the lips, infection, injection of blood vessel contents, scarring or tightness of the lips, allergic reaction that causes redness, swelling or itching around the lips.
PREPARATION
• If you have or have had a lifelong herpes, you should inform your doctor about it. If you have an active infection with herpes virus (currently present fever on the lips), treatment cannot be performed until the symptoms persist.
• If you suffer from diabetes, systemic lupus, you have a blood clotting disorder, consult your doctor about whether you are a good candidate for this treatment.
• If you have a known allergic reaction to lidocaine you should inform your doctor. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking in therapy.
