Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is part of human tissues and provides a normal level of moisture in them. With age, less acid is secreted in the body, therefore, the skin lacks water, and it ages. Hyaluronic acid is used not only in care products for aging skin. With its help, you can enlarge your lips and remove pronounced mimic wrinkles for a while.
Lip augmentation procedure with hyaluronic acid
Lip plumping helps to shape and plump your lips. For this, a hyaluronic-based drug is injected along the contour of the skin folds. It fills in all the voids and significantly enlarges the lips. The procedure is painful, but you will enjoy the corrected part of the face for 6-12 months.
Preparations for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
Nowadays, salons use many foreign drugs based on hyaluronic acid. Among the most popular are such as Surzhiderm, Restylane, Teosial. These are hyaluron injections from different manufacturers, differing in price and concentration of the main substance. Each manufacturer produces portions of hyaluronic acid in sealed syringes. It should be noted that a separate series is used to correct the shape of the lips. This gel differs from substances for eliminating wrinkles in its viscosity.
The company Surzhiderm has established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality preparations based on hyaluronic acid. The molecule of the main substance in Surzhiderm products has branches, which makes it matrix. Thanks to the branches, it is possible to maximize the volume of the lips in all directions.
Restylane contains 2% hyaluronic acid gel. These are Swiss cosmetics of non-animal origin. Hyaluron for lips of this company is obtained on the basis of natural ingredients, by oxidizing plant materials with special bacteria.
Teosyal is a product of a Swedish company that produces preparations based on hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. The lip gel comes with lidocaine to reduce soreness during the procedure.
The technique of increasing the volume of the lips with hyaluronic
The technique of injecting hyaluronic acid is not easy, so the procedure must be performed by a cosmetologist. Drops of the active substance are injected along the contour of the lips. They fill the voids and create artificial edema, which decreases after a few days. At the same time, the skin around the lips is smoothed, and the lips themselves become lush.
Method of using hyaluronic acid for injection
There are two methods of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid, which differ from each other in the method of injecting hyaluronic acid and in the results.
- "Parisian Sponges". The technique allows you to make your lips plump, but at the same time do not change their natural relief. Therefore, all folds and grooves will remain. This is achieved through the implementation of the injections vertically. In this way, the active substance enters directly into the center of the labial folds.
- Filling contours with a filler. When using the contour filling technique, volume is achieved by increasing the edema. The lip shape is corrected. The substance is injected strictly along the contour, a total of 20 punctures are made. Moreover, after the introduction of each portion, the doctor directs the filler to a specific area that needs correction. Further, massaging is carried out, which allows you to smooth the boundaries of each edema.
Contraindications for lip augmentation and correction with hyaluronic acid
Despite the safety and naturalness of hyaluronic acid, there are a number of contraindications to lip augmentation procedures. It is not allowed to carry out lip contouring for pregnant women, patients with viral ailments and people who have problems with skin coagulation. Do not inject if you have atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or eczema. Usually, antiviral drugs are prescribed before the procedure, this helps to make the herpes virus inactive and prevents the appearance of rashes.
You cannot inject hyaluron into several places at once. Plastic surgery is carried out in stages. That is, you will have to visit a beautician several times to enlarge your lips, remove mimic wrinkles on the forehead and in the area of the nasolabial triangle.
Consequences of using hyaluronic acid for lip augmentation
Some complications may arise after the procedure. But with the right approach of the doctor, the swelling and bruising go away very quickly.
Swelling after hyaluronic injections
Due to the hydrophilic nature of the substance, edema is observed in almost all patients. It disappears on its own after 2-7 days. But there are cases of edema that does not go away for a very long time. This is due to an overdose, that is, the cosmetologist introduced a lot of the drug. In this case, physiotherapy can be used to remove part of the hyaluron. In addition, hyaluronidase can be injected, which neutralizes the effect of the hyaluronic acid. Manual kneading massage helps. To reduce swelling, ice should be applied to the mouth for 2 days.
Bruises after the injection of hyaluronic acid
The formation of bruises and bruises is possible in almost every patient. This is due to rupture or pinching of small capillaries after filler injection. The clot of the injected gel constricts the blood vessel, and therefore the blood circulation deteriorates. Hematomas and bruises disappear in 7-10 days. It is worth noting that the doctor's knowledge of anatomy will reduce the number of hematomas and bruises. In this case, the hyaluron is injected into places where there are a minimum of capillaries.
Lumps in the lips after the injection of hyaluronic acid
Since the filler is injected in small portions, you may notice small bumps at the injection sites. This is normal and the bumps will resolve in 4-7 days. If more than a week has passed, but the tuberosity persists, contact the clinic where you performed the procedure. Possibly too large portions of the filler entered. To avoid the appearance of seals, after each puncture, the doctor massages the drops of hyaluronic acid over the entire surface of the lips.
Cons of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid
In general, the procedure is safe and serves as an alternative to surgery. Among the disadvantages of lip augmentation with hyaluron are the high cost of manipulation and a short-term effect. Very often you should not resort to the procedure, since the body can reduce the production of its own acid, and accordingly the skin will become flabby. It is worth noting that the injections are painful, but now many companies produce injections with anesthetic. Some salons use a cream for pain relief.
Lip care after hyaluronic acid injection

- Drink hot drinks;
- Use decorative cosmetics.
Try to do cooling compresses and nourishing masks for a week after the procedure. Nourish and moisturize your lips all the time with dairy and honey based masks. Give up the habit of licking your lips.
Lip massage after correction with hyaluronic acid
After lip augmentation, self-massage. While brushing your teeth, massage your mouth with the back of the brush. This is necessary to slow down the absorption of hyaluronic acid. With the help of massage, you will reduce the risk of lip relief and prolong the effect of the manipulation. At the very beginning, you need to make circular movements with a toothbrush. Do not press too hard, as you injure delicate skin. You need to finish the massage with patting movements with the back of the brush.
Lip care cream after hyaluronic injection
There are special creams for lip care after the procedure. It should contain natural oils and hyaluronic acid. Pay attention to products that improve blood circulation, this will help prolong the effect after the filler is injected.
