Full and beautifully shaped lips are the desire of many, but with age the volume of the lips decreases, due to the aging process they become dehydrated, lose a clear contour, the angle of the lips falls, and small wrinkles appear around the lips.
There are two basic methods of preparations (fillers) by which the lips are shaped and enlarged: one is the so-called permanent fillers, silicone-based, and other resorptive (decompose after a certain time). The most commonly used are those based on hyaluronic acid.
Enlarged and shaped lips, repairing the contours and symmetry of the lips,
refreshing the edge of the lips and removing fine wrinkles around the edge of the lips, which together contribute to a fresher and younger looking face.
The lip augmentation procedure is determined for people with thin, asymmetrical lips or people with “smoking” wrinkles around the lips.
Before the procedure, it is important to determine with Dr. Smiljanic what effect you want to achieve, in terms of increase, because the type and amount of the preparation that will be used depends on that. You will receive a list of necessary tests at a consultant examination with Dr. Smiljanic.
The procedure of lip augmentation with dermal fillers lasts about 15 minutes and does not require hospitalization. The procedure is painless, very thin micro-needles are used with which fillers are applied along the edge of the lips, and into the lips themselves in order to achieve the desired shape and volume of the lips.
Swelling may occur on the lips and around the lips, which disappears after 48 hours. It is recommended to put ice and cold compresses on the treated area. It is not recommended to put any preparations (cream, etc.). It is advisable to avoid make-up on the first day after application.
The procedure of lip augmentation with fillers does not require hospitalization,the patient can go home immediately after the treatment, and after 2 hours he can return to daily activities. It takes about 2 days for the swelling to subside completely. Although the results are visible immediately, only after 2 weeks can the final results be seen, because during that time the preparation is redistributed and the final shape is obtained. In order for your lips to be perfect, massages are necessary 48 hours after filling. Massages are done in three directions, for a month.
