Lip Augmentation

Every woman's dream is to have full and juicy lips! To achieve this result we use various methods.

Fat injection: Fat and collagen injections produce a transitory effect on lip augmentation, which must be repeated to preserve the effect of the augmentation because the materials employed are likely to be absorbed by the body.

Surgical methods: Autologous denervation implants, choroidal tissue, and other implants, such as Alloderm material, have all been documented. Injection of fat microdroplets is a popular intervention approach. These surgical procedures are regarded as more difficult and take longer to recover from.

Hyaluronic acid is the most frequent and quick approach to give your lips more volume while also minimizing creases around your mouth.

Tips! It is preferable to begin with hyaluronic acid, see the outcomes, and then decide on something more permanent afterwards.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

It is a laboratory-made material that is neither human nor animal in origin. It restores the volume and fullness of the skin to repair moderate to severe wrinkles, facial wrinkles such as nasolabial or nasopharyngeal, wrinkles on the cheeks, and produces rich and full lips, and has been used for 15 years with predictable results. Human skin responds well to hyaluronic acid (it is a friendly component of our body and does not cause allergies).

Is the application easy? Will you need anesthesia?

Dr. Andreas Ioannidis first applies a cream to the lips for 45 minutes to numb the area and prevent the patient from feeling the strings of the local xylocaine that will be used later, and then injects injectable local anesthesia into the mouth to numb the nerves that aesthetically innervate the lips.

Are the results instantaneous?

The result is obvious right away, and if supplementation is required, it can be done in as little as 15 days.

How long does the result last?

The duration of the material does not exceed 8 - 10 months. There are also materials of permanent or extended duration on the market.

Are there any side effects?

Slight swelling and moderate redness are the most common side effects that can occur following a Hyaluronic acid injection. Which we deal with by putting ice and special cream on it.

Also, some difficult procedures or more permanent solutions would not be the greatest choice for people who are unsure about the change and have not come up with the image they would like to have on their lips. In this scenario, it would be preferable to begin with Hyaluronic Acid, observe the outcomes, and then decide on something more permanent later.
