Beautiful lips with injections: art or business project

Injectable lip augmentation – This is one of the most popular and sought-after cosmetic procedures, which is widely used in modern aesthetic medicine. Every girl wants to have expressive, plump and bright lips, and injections easily help to fulfill this desire.

However, it is in this matter that it is important for both the patient and the specialist to maintain a balance, and not to get, as a result, hypercorrection of the lips. Beautiful lips with injections – is it still art or a business project?

This and many other questions in an exclusive interview for estet-portal.com are answered by the maxillofacial surgeon of the highest category, National expert in aesthetic medicine, chief physician of the Nucu Cosmetic Center for Aesthetic and Hardware Cosmetology Magdalena Mikhailovna Al-Nagash.

How important are beautiful lips for a holistic, harmonious "picture"? faces

You see, for me the face of a man – it is a picture, and for me there is no such thing that only lips, eyes or nose are important. The lips, by themselves, are like a separate picture, and if you enlarge and work only with the lips, you get a picture in a picture. Lips go separately from the face, and there is no longer any harmony, there is no beauty.

There is such an expression – beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Undoubtedly, there are internal psychological distortions and breakdowns, and a person sometimes gets them out through appearance. It is precisely such people, with certain internal psychological disorders, who like especially large lips, especially large cheekbones.

As a rule, if you communicate with such a person in the future, you will find out either some everyday stories, a broken heart, or diseases – it's not just like that here. There is such a disease - dysmorphophobia, or dysmorphomania, when a person has come up with some kind of image for himself, for example, Barbie or Ken, and pathologically will correspond to him, be operated on, inject.

I, as a doctor, refuse such patients. But I see that all over the world they do not refuse, and they do. But it's always the doctor's choice. I show my point of view and I have an opinion. They may agree, they may not, but I have set very high limits and standards for myself, and I try to meet them myself.

If we talk about beautiful lips with injections as a business project, what do you mean?

Today, in the beauty industry market, there is, in a certain way, the imposition of a stereotype: big lips, big cheekbones, big breasts, supposedly Eastern European girls love it very much. But this appeared quite recently, and, from the point of view of the fact that even territorially, ethnographically, our girls by nature have large breasts, sensual plump lips and rather high cheekbones – Slavic faces, I would not like the tendency of a business project to inject more and earn more money trampled high art.

After all, we are not a market that sells services, and we must remember the high rank of aesthetic medicine.

This is a very complex department, there is nothing unimportant here, and, today, I can say that even a doctor who is involved in a project called aesthetic medicine has a great responsibility, how to present to patients or clients what created by nature.

It's a pity when some doctors, who draw and are talented, exaggerate a little in order to only earn money and sell a service. Young professionals sometimes buy into this, because many girls like very large lips. She wants to sell herself, I even heard such an expression - to sell at a higher price, as a project, from the point of view, just on the market.

There is a market for services, there is a market for commodity-money relations. It cannot be said that we, working in this area, can be disinterested, but it cannot be turned into such a rude business. My opinion – it's a road to nowhere. If you churn out the same faces all the time, individuality is lost. You can see that the girls who walk down the street very often look alike, whether they are blonde or brunette. That is, the scheme is visible, sometimes even the hand is recognized.

Do you think every aesthetic medicine specialist can make beautiful lips with injections?

Medicine should always be a lofty affair, a lofty art. The fact that this is a well-paid field of medicine – Yes, it's true, because it's a little different. This is not exactly curative fundamental medicine, we are now talking about a completely new direction, where the doctor's specializations are being erased. He can be a good dermatologist, but it's ugly to inject, he can be a smart plastic surgeon, but it's ugly to inject.

And maybe a doctor therapist or a gynecologist, but who comprehended the basics, or maybe just has good taste, and he will prick beautifully. And so I want to say about a very important perception in aesthetic medicine, that the key word is aesthetics. I think this should be the focus. You can't just talk about medicine, although it's important.

Safety profile, product quality, studies, complications – yes, of course, this is important, which is why we cannot be artisans who sell, say, hot cakes.

Is there a difference between the approaches of our specialists and foreign colleagues in matters of lip correction?

I travel the world a lot as a guest speaker, and I work from a speaker's point of view and workshops. I noticed that in different countries of the world, respectively races, ethnographic priorities of beauty differ. I noticed in France that in women, due to articulation and tongue, the shape of the lips contributes to this, namely the roundness of the lateral part of the lip.

Technique Parisian lips did not appear by chance, and it suits, most of all, European girls and women, and more, of course, the region of France, Italy. Language matters. I recently attended a congress in Tbilisi, also with the topic of lips, and they gave me models. You know, I had no one to stab. They also have a very beautiful shape of the lips due to articulation.

I think it is necessary to take into account the region and the anatomical specifics of the girl in order to make her beautiful, but recognizable.

So that it is not "ah, lips come in." It should be beautiful in general, so there are certain geographical anatomical aspects that must be taken into account.
