Who wouldn't want plump, hydrated, and well-defined lips? Many people desire this ideal lip, but only a few are the lucky ones. The truth is that for many years, lip fillers and augmentations have been a major cosmetic disaster, but how have current treatments and beauty trends evolved? We explain below.
A little history…
A few years ago, lip fillers were performed with liquid silicone implants, a type of non-absorbable filler that caused many reactions in the body. The results were uncertain and indefinite, and obviously, not at all natural. Fortunately, all this has changed, and this type of filler is no longer used, at least legally, among aesthetic medicine professionals.
Then came collagen from many sources (porcine, bovine), which soon lost its popularity due to the severe allergies it caused in patients.
Years later, hyaluronic acid was discovered and is here to stay, thanks to its safety, greater durability, and availability of an antidote.
Today, there's a wide range of temporary, permanent, and semi-permanent facial fillers available to rejuvenate lips, contour them, hydrate them, give them greater projection, define their edges, correct asymmetries, or simply add a little more volume.
At MOS Clinic, we love hyaluronic acid lip fillers, not only because we achieve incredible results, but because your safety is our most important concern. Below, we'll tell you why.
Why is hyaluronic acid the ideal material?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in our bodies. It is a resorbable and biocompatible material, giving it an advantage over other fillers, as it is free of complications and side effects.
What makes this product special and ideal for lip plumping is the way it's synthesized, forming a substance with a very gel-like consistency, but with enough purity to match the one produced by the body, thus avoiding the risk of allergic reactions. This makes it currently the safest and most effective product for lip plumping.
How is the treatment performed?
Hyaluronic acid comes prepared in individual syringes and is administered through small injections with very fine needles. Some aesthetic doctors also use blunt cannulas for its application, depending on the desired results and the desired correction.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia (like at the dentist's), which allows the doctor to work and manipulate the procedure without causing any discomfort.
The amount of filler applied is adjusted to the harmony of the face and the patient's wishes. Sometimes the treatment is performed in several sessions to avoid applying too much product, which can lead to unflattering results, especially if the lips are very thin. This way, we ensure that the result is as expected by the patient and as natural as possible.
The treatment lasts 20-30 minutes and you can return to your activities immediately.
What complications can arise?
• Swelling (which is normal after treatment and can last 24 to 36 hours)
• Bruises, which disappear completely within 3 days
• Unnatural results, these unsightly results are due to poor technique or the product used
Is the treatment reversible?
Absolutely! After 1.5 years, your lips will return to their previous state in terms of volume, but they will remain hydrated and more defined due to collagen stimulation.
If you don't like the results, it's possible to reverse the treatment with hyaluronidase, which dissolves all the hyaluronic acid, leaving no traces of it behind.
Ideal candidates?
In reality, it is a treatment that can be performed on anyone, however, it is important to take into account some aspects:
• People in adequate health
• People with realistic expectations of the results to be obtained
• People who wish to improve the appearance of their lips, eliminate wrinkles, stop their thinning, beautify them, etc.
This procedure is not performed on people:
• With uncontrolled chronic diseases (diabetes, lupus)
• People with a tendency to develop hypertrophic or keloid scars
• People with bleeding disorders
Conclusions
• Hyaluronic acid lip filler is a 100% safe procedure
• Beautiful and natural results are achieved
• It is important to always go to a qualified expert for its application
• Ensure that the applied product is of the highest quality
