This is a method to change the lip shape, contour, volume at patient`s desire, or due to the pronouncement of cosmetic defects (fuzzy contour, asymmetry, wrinkles, scarring, thinning). For that end the gels are used based on hyaluronic acid (most common and safest), lactic acid, and collagen.
If you decide on a procedure for lip correction, make sure that the product being administered (filler) is registered within the territory of Ukraine, and the physician performing the procedure has the experience in similar procedures over several years.
Lip area is considered very painful, so in order for the procedure to be comfortable for the patient the anaesthesia is used. The anaesthesia includes cream applied or conduction anaesthesia (injection into gingiva or mucosa of the lips).
Indications:
Insufficient volume, lip asymmetry, fuzzy contour, flattening of the lips, signs of aging (wrinkles, drooping corners).
Implications of the fillers
The procedure results can be evaluated not earlier than in two weeks, when the swelling completely falls. Noticeable swelling falls usually in 3-5 days. In two weeks it becomes clear whether the desired result was achieved. If the asymmetry resolved incompletely, you may need additional correction (so called retuch). Re-introduction of the filler is usually carried out in 2 weeks.
If you are dealing with an experienced physician, the side effects are rare. But, nevertheless, the patient may occasionally face such consequences as the pronounced swelling, hematoma, lips erythema. If undesirable effects persist for 7-10 days, be sure to visit the physician.
After the procedure you need to exclude visiting sauna, fitness, solarium, kissing, minimize the articulation, and follow other individual physician’s recommendations. Within 2-3 hours you can apply cold (ice) for 10-15 minutes to reduce edema.
Course:
The effect of lips expansion procedure is preserved up to 6 months in average. After the gel degrades lips acquire original size and shape, but it will occur gradually, without “collapse” effect.

Visit the physician in this case in advance of the scheduled date of lips correction.If you have previously used the non-degradable gels (silicone, etc.), be sure to notify your physician! In such cases, IT IS ABSOLUTELY CONTRAINDICATED to administer any filler other than auto-fat (genuine fat).
