Surgery or injections?
When talking about plastic surgery, everyone imagines a sterile operating room and a shiny scalpel in the hands of a doctor. However, today there are many ways to correct and change the shape of the lips without resorting to such radical methods. Full-fledged operations on the face are carried out only with unequivocal indications, when there is no other option for correcting defects in appearance. So, surgical intervention cannot be avoided if there are scars, papillomas, cysts on the surface of the lips. Serious problems can also be corrected surgically.pathologies - "hare lip", fusion of the corners of the mouth. Surgery can correct the abnormal size or shape of the frenulum. A special type of surgery - cheiloplasty - involves the elimination of a cleft on the upper lip. Very often, such surgical interventions are performed on children with congenital developmental anomalies or after injuries. Attention: if you want to reduce the lips (not the most popular desire among modern women), you will also have to agree to the operation. But lip contouring with hyaluronic acid is capable of increasing lips and emphasizing their contour.
Procedure details

During it, a biopolymer gel is injected into the lips using a syringe with a very thin needle, most often its main component is hyaluronic acid. After that, the cosmetologist conducts a light massage, which helps the product to be properly distributed in the tissues. At the request of the patient, the procedure can be performed with or without anesthesia. However, the reviews of those who have already decided on such an impact indicate that even without special anesthesia, the discomfort during injections is minimal. Hyaluronic acid injections have reasonable prices. The exact cost depends on the brand of a particular drug and its volume spent per patient.
Popular injectables

Preparations for lip contouring should be chosen no less carefully than a specific clinic / salon and beautician. Often, the negative consequences of the procedure are due precisely to the wrong choice of a specific composition for administration.
Contraindications and preparation for the procedure
Beforeto undergo any serious cosmetic procedures, you should visit an observant therapist. You should not do beauty injections during or immediately after infectious diseases, chronic exacerbations. An absolute contraindication for the procedure is also any skin disease, inflammation at the injection site. If you want to make beautiful lips, contouring is not the best choice for individual intolerance to the components of the drug. It is also worth agreeing to injections with caution for people who are prone to allergies.
Possible problems and complications
Before you decide on any procedure, you should rationally assess all the risks involved. Swelling is considered normal after beauty injections. It usually lasts 2-4 days, after which it disappears without a trace. If more time has passed, and the swelling does not disappear, be sure to consult a doctor. An individual reaction to the administered drug usually manifests itself in the form of an allergy. In this case, you should also seek help. More serious complications: improper distribution of the drug, the formation of seals, infection. It is not always possible for a non-specialist to recognize a specific problem. Even if your upper lip just hurts or it has changed color, do not be too lazy to contact a medical institution. Normally, already on the 4th-5th day after the injection, the swelling should disappear, and the lips should take on a plump, attractive appearance.
Rehabilitation without problems
The recovery period after injections isabout 2 weeks. At this time, you can not visit the sauna, bath, swimming pool and solarium. Also, you should not swim in open water, use potent cosmetics. In addition, you will have to learn how to sleep on your back - your lips should not come into contact with the pillow. It is advisable to touch your face less during the healing period, but a daily light massage is simply necessary - the doctor will teach you the right movements. Do not expose your lips to aggressive procedures. Contour plastic will turn out to be much better if you do not peel the treated area in the first weeks. Doctors also do not recommend applying strong masks and using scrubs.
Lip contouring: price of the procedure
The cost of cosmetic treatments is made up of several factors. In addition to the price of the drugs and consumables used, the level of the salon and the reputation of a particular master are important. Hyaluronic acid injections are affordable. Usually it is already possible to make contour plastic for 4-5 thousand rubles, and the maximum cost of the procedure is 20 thousand. Such a significant difference is due to the differences in the compositions used, the different levels of specific institutions. No need to think that the more expensive the procedure, the better. Explore the different formulations and try to figure out which one really suits you best.
