Requirements
The requirements for the application of the injectable hyaluronic acid filler are minimal, since being a substance that is already present in the human body, it makes it biodegradable.
Being a minimally invasive treatment, since it involves small injections or infiltrations, anesthesia is not needed.
Benefits
Hyaluronic acid has the advantage that it is a biodegradable substance and that it exists naturally in the joints and skin. So in addition to adding volume to the area where it is used on the lips, it also provides a moisturized appearance to the lips.
As it is a substance that is already in the human body, it is not necessary to carry out an allergy test before applying the treatment.
Results
The results will be according to the patient’s desire to increase the volume, but we always recommend going smaller and increasing as necessary. More harmonious lips, with a uniform shape and volume.
Intervention
Lip augmentation with injectable hyaluronic acid filler is a simple procedure that does not require a hospital stay. Anesthesia is usually not applied as the same filler already contains lidocaine. Also the plastic surgeon could apply topical anesthesia to minimize the discomfort that it could produce.
Postoperatory
Applying the hyaluronic acid filler can cause inflammation at the injection site. But these effects can be mitigated with the application of cold compresses that will help control inflammation.
After the intervention, avoid exposing yourself to high temperatures and direct sun.
Don’t use strong exfoliating solutions for the first few days.
