Fillers can make lips fuller and more attractive or restore lip volume loss caused by aging and environmental influences.
Who is lip augmentation for?
The procedure is popular in all age groups. Younger clients are particularly susceptible to the influence of social media and often want fuller lips. Lip augmentation is suitable for them in this case.
On the other hand, women in their 50s do not want to enlarge their lips so much as to restore the lost volume in both the lips and the area around the lips. In addition, they want to highlight the lip contour, lift the sunken corners of the mouth, restore the shape of the lips, and remove wrinkles around the lips. The lips are one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging, and to achieve a natural and harmonious result, we recommend not limiting yourself to just the lip contour, but also restoring the area around the lips with fillers.
Indications for lip correction:
- Lip asymmetry
- Beautification
- Lips volume restoration
- Hiding a gummy smile
- Sunken corners of the mouth
- Want to make lips more attractive
Lips require a careful approach
When performing the lip filler injection procedure, one must be able to listen carefully to the client's wishes and explain to them whether and to what extent their wishes/expectations can be fulfilled. Here, it is important to take into account the patient's face as a whole, respecting ethnic origin, anatomical features and the so-called "golden ratio". In people of Caucasian origin, the "golden ratio" of the upper and lower lips is considered to be 1:1.618 - the lower lip should ideally be 1.618 larger than the upper lip. Most people find this to be the most aesthetically attractive.
The client’s natural lip shape, lip movement, and facial expressions should also be considered for the best results.
The lip area is very dynamic and requires a careful approach to the selection of different fillers and injection techniques to achieve optimal results. If the facial area requires other corrective procedures (nasolabial folds, cheeks, marionette lines), these should be performed before adding volume to the lips. This allows you to see what kind of enhancement the lips need to be in harmony with the rest of the face and balance the lower half of the face. The appearance of the lips largely determines the attractiveness of a person’s face.
Lip augmentation and/or correction – what to pay attention to
It is very important to choose the right specialist – the wrong technique can result in duck lips and filler migration. However, under the guidance of the right specialist, the full injection procedure is safe, effective, and provides immediate results.
The specialist decides on the course of the procedure – the patient is not the one who chooses where to inject or whether to use a needle or cannula for the procedure.
The specialist will select the appropriate product and amount – too much filler can cause filler migration. For younger patients whose main goal is lip volume, a softer filler is suitable.
