The lips and eyes emphasize the beauty of the face, and people have tried to emphasize them since time immemorial. Lip rejuvenation, volumizing or shaping with hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers is one of the most popular procedures in modern aesthetic medicine.
And although, at first glance, everything is simple and clear in working with lips, there are many subtle nuances necessary to obtain beautiful, refined lips. You can get acquainted with the detailed lip correction procedure on estet-portal.com in an interview with aboutthe founder of the aesthetic medicine studio Dr.Anzhelika Aesthetic Studi Anzhelika Bykovets.
When it's time for lip correction
The lip area is an extremely important area when it comes to improving facial aesthetics. The lips have stood out along with the eyes since time immemorial as the two most beautiful areas of the female or male face.
Physics and mechanics of lifting: features of the use of hyaluronic acid fillers
Over time, photodamage, hereditary factors, and smoking contribute to loss of lip volume, perioral wrinkles, and mentolabial folds.
Genetically thin lips and cosmetic lip asymmetry are also issues that can be addressed with dermal fillers.
Successful rejuvenation of the perioral region requires sophistication in the use of a combination of technologies and injectables.
The main subtleties of lip correction
The most common complaint – drooping corners of the mouth, which gives the face a sad look. Lip corners that have good volume can be lifted by injecting a small amount of filler below the lip commissure.
For genetically thin lips, structural augmentation with a two-level filler injection is ideal – deep and superficial. For a pure cosmetic lip enhancement, the best solution would be a superficially injected filler with a focus on vermilion and an extension of the red border of the lips.
Women's lips are on average slightly fuller than men's, so they stick out more than men's when viewed from the side. It is important to keep these gender differences in mind during lip enhancement to avoid feminizing male lips.
Careful patient selection, medical history and detailed consultation describing the benefits, limitations and side effects of lip reshaping go a long way to achieving the desired results. Discussing the immediate effects of lip augmentation, swelling, and bruising is a key component of counseling, as often patients tend to be secretive about these procedures and do not want to disclose information about aesthetic correction.

Technical features of lip correction
Lip augmentation consists of reshaping and/or enlarging the visible part of the lip. Medium depth fillers such as Allergan's Juvéderm Ultra® using a 30-G needle or 27-G cannula are preferred.Lip augmentation filler injection methods involve sequential linear injection of the drug, which can be antegrade or retrograde.
The use of cannulae reduces downtime after lip correction as it is less traumatic.
To correct the lips with a cannula, only one puncture is made on each side, and from this point in the region of the commissure of the lips, the drug is injected into both the upper and lower lip.
Optimizing the aesthetic result of lip augmentation with dermal fillers requires the skillful application of a suitable injection technique. In addition, knowledge of lip anatomy, clinical experience with various injection methods, and an individual approach to treatment are required to achieve aesthetic goals with a minimal risk of adverse events.
