Lip contouring

Lip augmentation is an injection correction of the lips shape and volume with the help of fillers based on natural ingredients. The procedure makes it possible to achieve the desired effect in just 1 session. Augmentation makes the lips fuller, more sensual and symmetrical. It also helps to lift the corners of the mouth and smooth out small wrinkles.

Lip augmentation is a completely safe procedure. For its implementation fillers are used – special gel-like agents based on natural ingredients. They are synthesized in the skin and provide it with moisture and volume. After 6-18 months the fillers are completely absorbed by the body. The procedure does not cause allergies and other complications.

Most often the procedure is used for aesthetic purposes, to make the lips more expressive. Although there may be medical indications.

Lip augmentation is performed for aesthetic correction, also the reasons to perform the procedure can be the following:

• the desire to change the shape or volume, to make the contour of the lips more expressive;
• birth defects of the shape, size, volume of the lips;
• asymmetry of the lips;
• when lips are too thin;
• in case of fuzzy contour;
• drooping of the corners of the mouth;
• dry and flaky lips;
• age-related changes in the skin of the lips.

The procedure is performed for women of any age. It allows you not only to adjust the shape and volume, but also to solve the problem of dryness and peeling. Injections also help to lift the corners of the mouth and eliminate wrinkles around them. This can be seen in the photos of women taken before and after the procedure.

You do not need to prepare for the procedure specifically. It is performed without anesthesia, using only a local anesthetic. Sometimes it is already part of the agent that is used for correction.

In some cases a specialist may advise you to refrain from drinking alcohol and, if possible, anticoagulants (drugs that reduce blood clotting and prevent the formation of blood clots) 3-4 days before the procedure.

Lip augmentation can be performed in several departments of the «Oxford Medical» clinic in Kiev. The procedure is conducted by qualified cosmetologists with special skills in injection medicine and many years of experience. You can read reviews about their work at the bottom of the page.

We use certified agents produced in European countries. We purchase them only from official distributors. This fact completely eliminates the spread of fakes. Before entering the market all fillers are tested during clinical trials. The products we use have European quality certificates. They are safe and do not cause side effects. The cost of fillers of different brands slightly differs, you can find it at the bottom of the page or in the price section.

Before carrying out the procedure a cosmetologist must conduct a consultation, during which the doctor gets to know which effects the patient is expecting for and what correction methods she has already used. The specialist also studies the medical history and excludes possible contraindications. To choose the optimal technique for the procedure and the desired agent, the cosmetologist carefully examines the lip area, assessing their contour, size, volume and the condition of the skin around.

The procedure starts with removing makeup from lips and disinfection of the skin with a special antiseptic. After that the cosmetologist treats the area with an analgesic drug (ointment, gel). In some cases it is not necessary since the anesthetic is one of the ingredients of the filler.

The main stage of the procedure is to perform injections in the upper and lower lips, as well as gentle kneading of the skin for a smooth distribution of the filler. After that the lips are re-treated with an antiseptic.

Lip augmentation takes about 40-60 minutes. Only one procedure is enough to get the desired result.

After the procedure, it is recommended to:

• prevent the skin of the lips from being exposed to sunlight for 7-10 days;
• avoid sunbathing, visiting baths and other thermal procedures (an increase in temperature can provoke restructuring of the filler);
• do not use decorative cosmetics;
• do not allow excessive stretching of the skin of the lips, muscle tension, so as not to provoke deformation of the shape;
• use ointments, creams prescribed by the doctor to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing.

After the plastic surgery, the cosmetologist "Oxford Medical" will definitely tell you what you can and cannot do to maintain the effect.

The recovery period after the procedure is minimal - up to 1 week. During this time, the tissues injured by the injections heal.

There are very few contraindications for performing lip augmentation with natural fillers. They are safe, do not cause allergies and other side effects. At the same time, there are still some restrictions. The procedure is not recommended for patients with diabetes, blood diseases, epilepsy, oncology pathologies and a tendency to form keloid scars. Temporary contraindications are also acute diseases (colds, flu, etc.), damage to the skin of the lips or rashes on the skin around them.
