Getting closer to the ideal: aesthetic correction of the lips and their contour

Since ancient times, lips have been sung by great poets. And this is not accidental, because the lips are anatomically located in the central part of the face and involuntarily attract the eyes of others.

Lips not only play a huge role in harmonization of the face, but and determine the biological age. Age-related changes in tissues and structures of this area require earlier correction for prevention of aesthetic age-related disorders.

That's why injectable lip contouring — one of the most requested procedures for the last two decades.

They shared their practical experience and secrets of successful lip contour correction with estet-portal.com readers cosmetologist, candidate of medical sciences, senior teacher of the school of aesthetic medicine SL Svetlana Zhaboeva and cosmetologist, teacher of the school of aesthetic medicine SL, certified regional trainer of Innovation Julia Mirzayanova.

Lip correction: how popular is the lip contouring procedure

According to statistics, a change in the shape or volume of the lips is 50% of the total number of contouring procedures with use of xxxx>biodegradable fillersbased on the basis of hyaluronic acid.

Most patients — girls from 25 to 35 years who want to change the shape and volume of the lips. They make up 65% of the number of those who undergo lip 

lip augmentation procedures. Fewer — 35% — ladies aged 45 years and older who undergo correction of signs of aging of perioral area.

The first age-related changes in  the perioral zone begin to be visualized already at the age of 30–35 years; wrinkles in this zone.

The most significant changes in the area around the lips, associated with 

deficiency of sex hormones, occurringat 50–55 years.

Causes of aging of the perioral zone

Several

causes that affect  aging of the perioral region should be highlighted.

This is, first of all,
• a decrease in tone of active mimic and chewing muscles.

Atrophy of the orbicular muscle of the mouth is primarily observed in the region of the upper lip, due to which earlier wrinkling occurs here.

At the same time, the skin part of the lip lengthens, and the red border becomes thin (especially in the lateral part of the lip), their mucosa becomes thinner, the structural units of the lips are smoothed out ("Cupid's line", white roller, filtrum columns).

A large role in the rate of onset of age-related changes in the perioral region is played by the state of the dentition, including malocclusion. Therefore, medical symbiosis with dentists is important.

The leading role in the rate of age-related changes is also played by
• hormonal status.

In the period of perimenopause, caused by

deficiency of estrogen and progesterone, the number of sebaceous glands in the skin of the lips decreases, their secretory activity decreases.

In connection with this, the skin part of the lip becomes dry, thin vertical "purse-string" wrinkles. The red border of the lips turns pale, its sensitivity decreases

Methods for correcting the perioral area

When working with 

aged patients, for harmonization and facial rejuvenation, it is not enough only to correct the red border of the lips. A comprehensive approach to rejuvenation is needed.

Mandatory

combined correction of marionette lines, chin crease, purse-string wrinkles of the upper and lower lip.

To achieve the maximum effect, available techniques are used in the treatment of aging of the perioral area:

• negative stimulation: fractional photothermolysis, radio wave treatment, medium peeling;
• positive stimulation: reinforcement with preparations based on medium and low density HA, reinforcement with mesothreads based on polylactic acids;
directly
• corrective methods: botulinum therapy and contouring.

For  correction of the red border of the lips in age patients, preparations of stabilized medium-density hyaluronic acid are preferred.

Basic

requirements:

replacement of lost volume;
strengthening the contour of the lips (creating a "stiffening rib" that prevents the deepening of purse-string wrinkles);
leaving lips fresh and moisturized with mandatory preservation of naturalness.

When working with patients of the

age group up to 30–35 years, preparations of medium and high density with pronounced elastic properties should be used.

The main requirement of women of this

age group — this is an increase in volume, a change in shape, giving sexuality to the lips.

Long and lasting effect is important. Therefore, preference should be given to

fillers with prolonged action, for example, fillers Yvoire, presented by «Academy of Scientific Beauty».

The initiation and  wrinkle aggravation occurs at 

35–45 years, and it is in this period that correction of the perioral zone should be started in order to prevent more pronounced age-related changes.

There are no templates in lip correction. It is very important to maintain harmony, not deprive the face of individuality.

The secret of effective correction of the perioral zone

The success of the correction directly depends on the choice of the drug. Today our arsenal has a huge number of fillers based on 

hyaluronic acid.

Cosmetologists take into account a number of properties and features of drugs from different lines.

Because lips — this is a zone of active facial expressions, it is important that the preparation does not displace and 

not migratefrom the injection zone, has elasticity (the ability to retain its shape) and simultaneously combines with xxxx >plastic properties. This is necessary for 

uniform distribution

of the filler in tissues. The high degree of purification of the drug should guarantee a reduction in the risk of immunoinflammatory reactions. Fillers

Yvoire

, provided by «Academy of Scientific Beauty» meet all of the above requirements.

The versatility of the properties

of these fillers allows you to successfully correct both the lips of young patients for whom an increase in volume and lasting effect is important, and all signs of aging of the perioral zone in old ladies.
