Many women inject a biopolymer into their lips in order to increase them. Correction using a gel on this basis is a direction of plastic surgery, which does not involve surgical intervention. The form is acquired without incisions. The biopolymer injected into the lips should not provide for a subsequent regeneration period, as often happens if the integrity of the tissue is compromised.
Types of biopolymer gels
Despite the fact that today there are many other ways to increase the lips, biopolymers (including silicone) continue to be popular, primarily due to their attractive cost. So far, this method is the most common.
In cosmetology clinics, patients are injected with a synthetic biopolymer into the lips. If you use only natural ingredients, then the result will not be too long. Lip augmentation with a biopolymer is carried out using synthetics such as:
- L-lactic acid;
- bioalkamid;
- polymethyl methacrylate.
Features of the use of gels
L-lactic acid polymer is a by-product of anaerobic glucose metabolism. It is not toxic. Howthe biopolymer is injected into the lips in order to fill the contours. It also removes deep wrinkles. The duration of the effect is about two years.
The second gel - bioalkamid is also non-toxic and safe for humans. It has the ability to encapsulate due to the presence of natural collagen in the composition. It also prevents the drug from moving outside the injection zone.
And the third synthetic is also widely used as a filler for lip augmentation and facelift. It is often used as an alternative to surgery.
Can I use my own fillers?
Many women try to inject their own biopolymer into their lips, the consequences can be catastrophic. After all, this way you can not only disfigure your face, but also harm your he alth.
That is why this operation should be performed exclusively in the clinic, and only an experienced specialist should do this after a preliminary consultation. At the same time, it is very important to choose the right clinic so that you can choose the most suitable biopolymer gel and its dosage, taking into account your individual characteristics.
Scheme of the operation
To make your lips look attractive after the biopolymer, the procedure must be carried out strictly according to the instructions, where all actions have their own sequence:
- First, lips are treated with a disinfectant;
- administer local anesthesia;
- into the subcutaneous layer of the lips along their contourthrough a microscopic needle, filler injections are made step by step;
- the injection area is massaged so that the biopolymer is evenly distributed over it.
The procedure takes from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. It all depends on the remedy chosen and how the patient's body perceives it.
Compatibility
Quite often you can find negative reviews about this method of lip augmentation, since not everyone perceives the drug introduced to him. And this is happening despite the fact that new products regularly appear on the biopolymer market.
To make the use of the filler safe and effective for the patient, the following conditions are taken into account:
- fabric compatibility;
- presence or absence of an allergy or immune response;
- can the composition penetrate beyond the injection zone;
- is it toxic.
How to remove biopolymer?
It is worth noting that 5-10 years after lip augmentation, the composition can move over the skin, change its consistency or clump. Gradually, the gel begins to grow together with the lip tissue, scars appear, and the natural shape is lost. In such cases, removal of the biopolymer from the lips is required, and such a procedure used to be quite problematic, in particular, surgery was required. Now everything is much easier.
This procedure is performed in a cosmetology clinic during one session. Doctors not only remove the gel,but also reconstruct the shape of the lips, giving them naturalness. An incision is made from the inside, which does not injure either the muscles or the vessels. At the same time, there are no scars left. Then a suture is made, which is not visible after healing.
Contraindications to the procedure
Like many other cosmetic procedures, lip augmentation with a biopolymer has a number of contraindications. This should not be done in the presence of chronic diseases, impaired immunity, and also if the patient has an individual intolerance to the components of the composition.
Also, the procedure cannot be performed if:
- high blood sugar;
- blood clotting disorder;
- patient is pregnant or breastfeeding;
- there are scars on the lips after suffering injuries;
- You are under 16.
Consequences and feedback
Biopolymer compounds were the first with which women decided to make their lips more plump and attractive. The funds were positioned as completely safe for humans. However, it is not uncommon for patients to feel the negative effects of their use even years later.
Most often, patients complain about the “deflation” of the lips and the loss of their shape, as well as the appearance of a “duck mouth”. As it turned out, the biopolymer is not as good and stable as it was originally advertised. However, more advanced formulations are now appearing on the market.
Reviews from clinic patients can be downright frightening. For example, after the composition grows into the labial tissue, a noticeablea seal that causes a lot of pain. As a result, a person cannot speak normally, show facial expressions, and eat. It is accompanied by a feeling of discomfort, the lips swell and become asymmetrical. Sometimes the gels begin to go beyond the injection zone and disfigure the person's face.
Currently, clinics for lip augmentation instead of silicone and other biopolymers began to use hyaluronic acid, which is safer for humans. However, you have to be very vigilant. Quite often on the Internet you can see reviews when the same silicone was injected under the guise of this composition to patients. As a result, the lips lost sensitivity, cracked and bled, sometimes the gel even got into the nose area, which made it difficult to breathe.
If you want to make your lips more voluminous, you don't need to save. Carefully choose the doctor, clinic and composition through which the procedure will be carried out.
