Lip Augmentation

Full lips, the symbol of youth, which is considered the key to a feminine appearance, may lose their volume over time and become a thin line depending on aging. The effective solution to this situation, which makes the person look older than they are, is the treatment of hyaluronic acid-based lip augmentation.

What is lip augmentation?

Lip augmentation is a volumizing process that aims to make the lips look fuller and more feminine by gaining volume, which is made with fat injection and hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. While lip augmentation with fat injection is performed in the operating room environment, hyaluronic acid-based lip augmentation is performed in a clinical setting.

Why is lip augmentation needed?

There may be more than one reason for the thinness of the lips in the treatment of lip augmentation, which is applied in cases where the lips are small and thin compared to the face. Thin lips can be caused by genetic factors as well as the loss of volume of the lips due to aging. Lip augmentation, which can be applied safely in both cases, is ideal for women who are not satisfied with their thin lip structure and who want fuller, shaped lips.

Is there an age limit for lip augmentation?

As with many filling treatments, the age limit for lip augmentation treatments is 18. Any individual over the age of 18 can have lip augmentation. The reason for the age limit of 18 is the necessity of waiting for the completion of the physical development of the person for cosmetic procedures such as lip augmentation. Although the 18 age limit is not followed from time to time in different clinics, especially abroad, as Şenel Plastic Surgery clinic, we comply with the 18 age limit in filling treatments.

What is the active ingredient of lip augmentation?

Lip augmentation is done with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid, which is already in our body, also helps the skin to renew itself.

Is lip augmentation a painful treatment?

Lip augmentation is an almost painless and acheless treatment. Anesthetic creams are applied to the lips before the treatment of lip augmentation, which is practically done in a clinical setting. Thus, our patients go through the entire procedure with maximum comfort.

With which treatments can lip augmentation be combined?

Lip augmentation can be performed in combination with many non-surgical aesthetic treatments due to the fact that it does not require recovery time and is practical. Lip augmentation can be applied comfortably in combination with botox procedures and skin rejuvenation procedures, especially other filling treatments.

Is lip augmentation permanent?

Lip augmentation lasts an average of 12 to 18 months. If it is done regularly, as in other filling treatments, the permanence period may be a little longer.

What are lip augmentation techniques?

While applying lip augmentation, the ratio of the lips to the general ratio of the face and the adjacent areas surrounding the lips is taken into account. However, the filling process is performed by taking into account the golden ratio, which has a numerical value of 1.618 in itself. While lip augmentation is performed, the injection process is performed by considering the lip edges and the fold in the middle of the upper lips, which we call the Cupid line.

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are also used in the Russian Lips treatment, which is one of the popular treatments of recent times. However, in this technique, the filler is applied vertically to the lip. Thus, a much more proportional and shaped appearance is obtained on the lips.
