Perioral and lip skin care should be more diligent in preventing signs of the natural aging process than other areas of the face. This is due to the fact that, along with the periorbital zone, the skin in this area is most susceptible to age-related changes. After 40 years, especially with the onset of menopause, the collagen content in the skin of the perioral region decreases by 1% every year.

In most cases, age-related changes begin to occur from the age of 25. Gradually, the functions of osteoclasts begin to prevail over osteoblasts, which leads to a change in the main anthropometric parameters and proportions of the facial skull. The main support for the soft tissues of the perioral zone are the upper and lower jaws, as well as the body of os zygomaticus.

Maxilla is primarily more prone to the development of involutive processes, which forms a certain displacement of soft tissues backward and in depth even with preserved dentition. Visually, we can observe some tissue involvement in the projection of the upper jaw bone: there is a displacement of the bone attachment points (to the body of the zygomatic bone) of the main muscles that lift the upper lip, corners of the mouth; m. orbicularis oris loses rigid support, forming a crater-like retraction of soft tissues.
Over time, photodamage, hereditary factors, and smoking contribute to loss of lip volume, perioral wrinkles, and pronounced mentolabial folds. In addition to age-related changes, genetically thin lips and cosmetic lip asymmetry are also problems that can be successfully addressed by soft tissue augmentation using hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

Successful rejuvenation of the perioral region requires the use of a combination of technologies and certain injectables. According to plastic surgeon, specialist in the field of aesthetic medicine, Dr Nabila AZIB, the key factors for lip correction are harmony, balance and proportions, so in her practice she uses hyaluronic based fillers acids Teoxane.
Prevention of swelling after lip correction
The most common complaints about lip correction are volume reduction, deflated red border, and drooping corners of the mouth. These changes create a picture of a sad face. Lips that naturally have good volume can be highlighted by injecting Teosyal RHA Kiss into the vermilion border (red border). Additional volume to the lips can be created by introducing a filler under the muscle.

For maximum patient safety, after the lip correction procedure, plastic surgeon Dr Nabila AZIB recommends avoiding sports, as well as excluding sauna visits and drinking hot drinks for the next 2-3 days. Also, the doctor does not recommend prescribing visits to the dentist within 3 weeks to avoid swelling of the tissues when using a rubber dam or other dental appliances. Even if the cosmetologist uses a dynamic filler, the doctor emphasizes that it is worth not injecting and moving the product under high pressure.
Risk of infectious complications in lip correction
In addition, Dr Nabila AZIB has significant experience in performing not only aesthetic, but also reconstructive surgeries, so he always asks his patients about their medical history, to prevent possible infectious complications and take several tablets of acyclovir before lip correction procedure, which can help prevent the activation of the herpes virus in this area.
As a rule, the upper lip is more likely to be corrected than the lower lip. The best approach to lip augmentation depends on both the severity of age-related changes in the lips and the aesthetic wishes of the patient. For genetically thin lips, structural augmentation with Teosyal dynamic filler RHA Kiss is ideal, followed by volume correction with more superficial injections.
For an ideal aesthetic result, it is necessary to complete the lip correction procedure using a superficial filler injection with an emphasis on the border of the red border in order to expand it.

At the same time, the doctor emphasizes that the results of lip correction will become more natural after 2 weeks. This is the moment when the drug lends itself to complete biointegration into tissues, and the patient can turn to his cosmetologist for refinement by modeling or additional replenishment of volume.
