What kind of actions does fashion not push people to! A couple of decades ago, no one even knew about such a by-product of progress as silicone lips, until several Hollywood stars, one after another, wanted to improve the shape and volume of their lips. Since then, this type of plastic surgery has been gaining popularity.
This procedure itself consists in the introduction of silicone under the skin of the patient's lips. Implant it start with a few drops. Then the procedure is repeated for a month. To prevent this substance from spreading under the skin, it is supported by the production of natural collagen.
I must say that this operation is currently carried out in more than half of the cases successfully. But, alas, there are very numerous exceptions, which we will discuss in the next paragraph. First of all, too voluminous silicone lips can not only become a subject for general fun, ridicule and pity, but also bring very significant harm to a person’s appearance and he alth, when silicone, which is not supported by collagen in the desired shape, begins to slowly spread, and, shifting, deformlips, which can seriously disfigure the face.
I must say that in some countries this type of plastic surgery is prohibited, and this is due to numerous complaints from patients. Silicone lips are not the only way to increase volume; hyaluronic acid is also injected for this purpose. However, it dissipates over time. But silicone is not. It remains in the lips for life.
Being a foreign body, it often leads to various inflammatory processes. On the appearance of this substance, the body includes defense mechanisms. It secretes and accumulates phagocytes, lymphocytes and macrophages with the sole purpose of removing everything foreign. Naturally, it cannot be removed. As a result, tissue from fibroblasts accumulates around the silicone drops. In other words, a kind of capsule forms around it. This mechanism partially relieves inflammation caused by the implantation of a foreign substance. However, this is not always the case. Everything depends on two things. First, from the reaction of your body to silicone. Secondly, on the quality of the material used. In some circumstances, it is worth abandoning silicone altogether. For example, if your lips are very thin, then increasing them with this method is contraindicated for you.
The use of silicone in this case may not always lead to an improvement in appearance.
On the contrary, sometimes the result of such an operation can simply shock others. Some people who have silicone lips have become just a parableby the way, often - not in the best sense of the expression. For example, Sergey Zverev. Or Christina Ray, who has the biggest silicone lips and looks extravagant to say the least.
Before deciding to take this cardinal step, weigh all the pros and cons. The operation to increase the lips, by the way, is not necessarily the implantation of silicone. There are also more "humane" methods - for example, the use of biocompatible gels (they give an effect for some time) or hyaluronic acid, which was mentioned above, as well as lipofitting (the use of one's own fatty tissues).
