Modeling lips with hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid can be applied to the lips not only for lip enlargement but also for correcting the symmetry. The “irregular” shape of the lips is a frequent cause for visiting the Clinic. These patients wish for elimination of different types of disproportion, the most frequent of which are the prevalence of one quarter of the lip over the other, too soft contour or drooping corners.

The procedure is performed after exclusion of counterindications by a doctor. The lip contour is improved by injecting cross linked hyaluronic acid into, or above, the vermillion border with a needle or canula. The treatment traumatizes issues, so lips can look swollen and reddish but these symptoms subside completely after a couple of days and the patient can enjoy the new look of her lips. The result lasts for approximately 6-9 months. Apart from the shaping the lips hyaluronic acid improves their condition by gently moisturizing and firming up the skin.

The modeling procedure is always tailored to the patient’s individual requirements. During the pre-treatment consultation, the doctor evaluates the problem and proposes a solution for adjusting the shape of the lips in harmony with the facial features of the patient. The treatment can be taken at any age. It is recommended to both young people with natural lip asymmetry and to mature women who have lost the crispness of their lip profile and have problems with putting on their makeup.

The advantages of modeling lips with hyaluronic acid include safety and low invasiveness of the treatment. The whole procedure takes little time and requires no special preparation. It is performed under local anesthesia for alleviation of pain associated with the injection. The treatment is fully reversible and the lips return almost entirely to the original shape because the acid decomposes in time. So, if a patient cannot come to terms with her new look, the former one will return in a few months.
