Very often, women carefully care for the skin around the eyes, forgetting that one of the significant manifestations of age-related skin changes is the appearance of wrinkles in the perioral area.
The lip area is an estrogen-dependent zone, so the aging process can begin here much earlier than in other areas of the face. Find out in the article on estet-portal.com which factors on the part of the doctor and the patient determine the effect of lip and perioral correction.

Anatomical prerequisites for lip correction
The aging process of the lips and perioral area is caused by the physiological and anatomical features of this area. The lips are also devoid of the protective hydro-lipid film designed to maintain the healthy appearance and elasticity of delicate skin, destroy pathogens and regulate heat balance.

The muscles of the perioral zone make up to 15,000 movements a day - these facial movements, which are made throughout life, naturally leave a trace.

It is known that the face has areas that are prone to the formation of elloid scars (upper lip, inner corner of the eye, lateral areas of the cheeks), which does not always allow a satisfactory result of treatment to be achieved. Changes in the soft tissues of the perioral region have their own characteristics, which are determined by the fact that the face is the site of concentration of all the senses: vision, hearing, smell. At the moment, the use of fillers based on HA allows you to get a significant result in the correction of age-related changes in the perioral region and lips.
Technical aspects that affect the effectiveness of lip correction
The technique of fan-shaped distribution of the filler during lip augmentation gives a more natural look even in case of overcorrection. After this procedure the inner surface of the lips looks very natural, both in motion and at rest. The main factors influencing the length of time the filler stays in the lips are the blood supply to the lips and the age of the woman.

But the lip augmentation technique and the dermal filler are the factors that affect the result of the correction by the doctor. How can the patient himself influence the effectiveness of the procedure? This was told by MD, surgeon, specialist in the field of aesthetic medicine, researcher and lecturer at the Imperial College London, Dr Raul CETTO.
The patient and the effectiveness of lip correction
Dr Raul CETTO: I think there are several factors that make a smile beautiful, but the most important thing is that it brings out your inner personality and should harmonize with the rest of the face, this makes our facial expressions as natural as possible. Therefore, for lip correction, you need to choose dynamic fillers, in particular, which company Teoxane presents on the market, as they allow you to save your own expressions and emotions.

Before having a lip augmentation procedure, I would give patients one piece of advice: you need to carefully look at the face and try to find people with beautiful lips with a similar face shape. This is due to the fact that patients are very often obsessed with certain trends, the shape of the lips, and at the end of the procedure they are disappointed with the result, blaming the doctor. Therefore, it is very important that the changes that the patient inherits correspond to his face, and then the result of the correction will be as satisfactory as possible.
The most common questions before lip augmentation
Dr Raul CETTO: The most common questions patients ask me are: "How painful is the lip correction procedure?". I always try to reassure them by saying that the lower third of the face is a painful area for correction, however we use anesthesia, in particular lidocaine, which is found in dermal fillers Teosyal which makes the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Other things that patients worry about are related to the outcome of the lip augmentation procedure: “How much will my appearance change after lip augmentation? Will I look like someone else? In this case, the doctor needs to reassure the patient and say that the shape of your lips will remain the same, and I can either improve, make more expressive what you already have, or we can rejuvenate and improve the structure of the perioral zone, without visible changes.
Main characteristics of lip augmentation filler
Dr Raul CETTO: What are the main characteristics I look for in a dermal filler? If we talk about the perioral region, then this is the most dynamic and mobile area that we have on the face. There are about 18 muscles working in this area at all times, so we need a product that can adapt to these movements, that can project and create volume.
But this is the first requirement. The second ˗ is the duration of the result. However, it must be taken into account that lip correction is a medical procedure that we put our patients through and therefore we want the effect to last as long as possible so that patients are satisfied with the results.
Equally important, the filler must come from a reputable company that invests in research and development of its products. The way company Teoxane develops its brand, develops new products, trains and supports its doctors in the market of aesthetic medicine can serve as an excellent example for many professionals .
