To correct such a delicate, delicate, but very important area of the face as the lips and perioral area, modern aesthetic medicine offers a huge variety of techniques. For some people, lipstick and lip liner are enough to make lips more expressive, others want to get a more lasting effect through injection techniques. But in order to choose the optimal method and get the best result, most patients rely on the experience and skills of a specialist. In an interview for readers of estet-portal.com, dermatologist of the highest category and cosmetologist Olga Anatolyevna Chalenko spoke about the best methods for correcting the lips and perioral area in order to obtain a beautiful and aesthetic result.
Olga Anatolyevna, tell us how to correct the lips and perioral area using botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin injections – this is not work with the volume of the lips, it is always work with dynamics, with the shape of a smile, with the way the lips move with facial expressions. That is, botulinum toxin – this is a helper technique. Without working with the volume of the lips, we can nevertheless correct, for example, a gingival smile, when the lip rises too high when smiling and the gum is exposed. We can correct the depth of nasolabial folds, due to the mimic component, reduce the severity of wrinkles in the corners of the lips, chin wrinkles.
By properly adjusting the dosage and competently working with mimic muscles, we can influence the shape of a smile and the beauty of the face in general.
There is also a method for correcting purse-string wrinkles around the lips, namely their dynamic component, using botulinum toxin. But this is also an auxiliary technique, it works together with fillers, together with lasers, together with biorevitalization, and gives the optimal effect.
When do you personally recommend correcting the perioral area with botulinum toxin?
If there is a problem in isolation only in the mimic muscles, in isolation too deep nasolabial fold, which is visible in facial expressions, in isolation too strong purse-string wrinkles, in isolation too strong gingival smile, in isolation too strong chin muscle, and a chin in the form of "cobblestone pavement"; , isolated too strong activity of the subcutaneous muscle of the neck and the appearance of platysma cords on the neck, and botulinum toxin is used in isolation to correct the shape of the face. It's not really, maybe the perioral area, but when we work with the masticatory muscles, we can make the face more lean and graceful.
How to determine which lip correction method is right for a particular patient?
Let's just say that lipstick will suit everyone, you just need to choose the right color for it. Although, if it's about the color of the lips, we can work not only with lipstick. And contour plastic improves the color of the lips, makes them brighter, and we have such techniques as micropigmentation in our arsenal.
The filler is needed if the patient wants to increase the volume of the lips, if it is aesthetically indicated, and if it will be beautiful.
And botulinum toxin complements these techniques when you need to work with asymmetry, with a gum smile, with purse-string wrinkles around the mouth, and with other facial problems.
How often in your practice have you had to correct the lips of men?
Our mentality is such that men, even those who need to correct their lips, are very afraid of this. First, I think they are afraid of the injections themselves. I will say this: on the fingers of two hands in my long practice since 2003, I can count the cases when men allowed them to inject the filler into the lips.
Which lip correction methods are preferred for males?
For men, low-pain and low-invasive methods are preferable, because they are not ready for the rehabilitation period, and do not like to cover up bruises. But, at the same time, they are very disciplined, very grateful patients, and they are always ready to pay for the quality of the procedure. That is, fillers, cannula work, botulinum toxin and hardware techniques are ideal for men.
