What is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic medical technique that aims to enhance the volume and/or correct the shape of the lips. This procedure allows you to obtain a fuller, more sensual and harmonious mouth, thus meeting your aesthetic expectations.
Different techniques exist to plump the lips:
- Hyaluronic acid injection: This is the most common and safest technique. Hyaluronic acid is a biodegradable product naturally present in the human body. Injected into the lips, it plumps and hydrates the area by redensifying the dermis.
- Lipofilling: This technique involves taking autologous fat (usually from the thighs or hips) and then injecting it into the lips.
- Silicone implant: A more permanent solution, the silicone implant is rarely used today because of its potential risks (rejection, migration, etc.).
The choice of technique depends on factors:
- Your aesthetic goals
- The morphology of your lips
- Your budget
- Your sensitivity to pain
Natural and long-lasting results:
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injection offers natural and long-lasting results. The duration of the effects varies depending on the amount of product injected and the type of hyaluronic acid used, but it is generally 6 to 12 months.
Plump and harmonious lips:
Lip augmentation can correct various defects:
- Thin lips
- Asymmetrical lips
- Wrinkles and fine lines around the lips
- Loss of volume linked to aging
A quick and painless procedure:
Hyaluronic acid injection is a simple and quick procedure performed in a medical office under local anesthesia. The session lasts about 30 minutes.
Post-operative instructions:
- Avoid massaging or rubbing your lips
- Do not apply makeup for 24 hours after the injection
- Avoid exposure to sun and high heat
