A SAFE AND FAST PROCEDURE
Lip augmentation is considered a safe and quick procedure with few side effects. However, it is important to choose an experienced doctor to perform this procedure, in order to obtain a natural and harmonious result with the morphology of your mouth. If you are interested in this procedure, we suggest that you make an appointment with a specialist doctor to discuss your options and expectations.
The results of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injection are usually visible immediately after the procedure. However, it is important to note that the lips may be slightly swollen after the procedure, and it may take 24 hours for the swelling to subside and the lips to regain their normal appearance.
Over the years there is a gradual decrease in the natural volume of the face. This decrease is associated with thinning of the epidermis, skin atrophy and loss of elastic tissue. Due to these changes, the skin becomes less hydrated, thinner, dry and fragile. Products containing hyaluronic acid, a powerful hydrating molecule, not only hydrate the skin, but are also very effective in giving it volume and hold. Injections of fillers may improve and rejuvenate certain areas.
AREAS TO TREAT WITH FILLER INJECTIONS
There are several techniques for performing lip augmentation. One of them is to use a cannula to inject the filler under the skin. This technique makes it possible to work fragile anatomical areas such as the temples, cheekbones or lips with a single entry point, without pain or bruising. Another technique is to use a needle to inject the filler. This technique is more painful than the technique with the cannula, but it makes it easier to inject regions that are less accessible to the cannulas and to make “boluses”.
Hyaluronic acid is the most widely used filler in the world to increase lip volume. Unlike collagen, which was used several years ago, hyaluronic acid makes it possible to have soft and natural lips after the procedure. Very easy to dose, hyaluronic acid can be injected in larger quantities on the right or left depending on the case, in order to obtain the desired symmetry.
Lip injections can have several benefits, such as increasing the volume of the lips while respecting their natural shape, rehydrating the lips (one of the first effects of aging), correcting an asymmetry (for example the upper lip which is thinner than the lower lip), and redefine the lip contour for a more harmonious effect. However, it is important to keep in mind that the physiognomy of the face must be respected at all times so that the result is consistent and balanced.
The effect of lip augmentation by injection of hyaluronic acid generally lasts nine to fifteen months. However, the exact duration may vary depending on several factors, such as the type and quantity of products used, as well as the individual characteristics of each patient. If you would like to learn more about this procedure and the results you can achieve, we suggest that you make an appointment with a specialist doctor to discuss your options and expectations.
HOW MUCH DOES THE LIP AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE COST?
The cost of the lip augmentation procedure varies depending on several factors, such as the type and amount of products used, as well as the individual characteristics of each patient. The price per syringe is generally between $500 and $800 + taxes. However, it is important to note that these prices are indicative only and may vary depending on the needs and expectations of each patient. If you would like to know more about this procedure and the associated costs, we suggest that you make an appointment with a specialist doctor to discuss your options and expectations.
