Many women inject biopolymer into the lips in order to increase them. Correction with a gel on this basis is the direction of plastic, which does not include surgical intervention. The form is acquired without incisions. The introduced biopolymer into the lips should not provide for a subsequent period of regeneration, as is often the case if the integrity of the tissue is impaired.
Types of biopolymer gels
Despite the fact that today there are many other ways to increase lips, biopolymers (including silicone) continue to be popular, primarily due to attractive prices. Until now, this method is the most common.
In cosmetology clinics, a biopolymer of synthetic origin is injected into the lips to patients. If you use exclusively natural components, the result will not be too long.
Lip augmentation with a biopolymer is carried out through such synthetics as:
- L-lactic acid;
- bioalkamide;
- polymethyl methacrylate.
Features of the use of gels
L-lactic acid polymer is a by-product of glucose anaerobic metabolism. It is not toxic. As a biopolymer, they inject it 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 - bioalkamide is also non-toxic and safe for humans. It has the ability to encapsulate due to the presence of natural collagen. Also, this does not allow the drug to move outside the injection zone.
And the third synthetics is also widely used as a filler for lip augmentation and facelift. Often it is used as an alternative to surgical intervention.
Can I use fillers with my own hands?
Many women try to inject biopolymer on their lips, the consequences can be disastrous. After all, this way you can not only disfigure your face, but also harm your health.
That is why this operation should be carried out exclusively in the clinic, and only an experienced specialist should do this after preliminary consultation. At the same time, it is very important to choose the right clinic so that you can find 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 should be carried out strictly according to the instructions, where all actions have their own sequence:
- first, the lips are treated with a disinfectant;
- local anesthesia is administered;
- injections of filler into the subcutaneous layer of the lips along their contour by means of a microscopic needle;
- the injection zone is massaged so that the biopolymer is evenly distributed over it.
The treatment time is from 30 minutes to one and a half hours. It all depends on the chosen remedy 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 administered to him. And this happens, despite the fact that new products regularly appear on the biopolymer market.
In order for the filler to be safe and effective for the patient, the following conditions are taken into account:
- compatibility with fabrics;
- the presence or absence of an allergy or immune reaction;
- whether the composition can penetrate beyond the injection zone;
- is it toxic?
How to remove biopolymer?
It is worth noting that after 5-10 years after lip augmentation, the composition can move on the skin, change its texture or gather in lumps. Gradually, the gel begins to grow together with the labial tissue, scars appear, the natural form is lost. In such cases, removal of the biopolymer from the lips is required, and such a procedure was previously quite problematic, in particular, surgical intervention 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 a natural look. An incision is made from the inside, which does not injure either the muscles or blood vessels. There is no scarring either. 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 several contraindications. This can not be done in the presence of chronic diseases, immune disorders, as well as if the patient has an individual intolerance to the components of the composition.
Also, the procedure cannot be performed if:
- blood sugar is elevated;
- blood coagulation is broken;
- the patient is pregnant or is a nursing mother;
- there are scars on the lips after injuries;
- You are under 16 years old.
Consequences and reviews
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, there are cases when patients feel the negative consequences of their use even after years.
Most often, patients complain of “deflating” of the lips and 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.
Clinic patient reviews can be completely frightening. For example, after the composition grows into the labial tissue, a noticeable seal appears, which causes a lot of pain. As a result, a person cannot speak normally, show facial expressions, or eat food. He is accompanied by a feeling of discomfort, his lips swell and become asymmetric. Sometimes gels begin to go beyond the injection zone and disfigure a person’s face.
At present, in clinics, instead of silicone and other biopolymers, lipids for lip augmentation have begun to use hyaluronic acid that is safer for humans. However, you should be very vigilant. Quite often, you can see reviews on the Internet when the same silicone was injected into patients under the guise of this compound. As a result, the lips lost their sensitivity, cracked and bleed, sometimes the gel even got into the nose, which made breathing difficult.
If you want to make lips more voluminous, you do not need to save. Carefully choose a doctor, clinic and staff through which the procedure will be carried out.
