Indications for lip contouring:
- Asymmetry or other congenital and acquired aesthetic defects.
- Thin lips, insufficient volume.
- The indistinct contour of the lips.
- Dry skin of the lips.
- Sagging corners and small wrinkles around the mouth.
To begin with, we note that correction is not always associated with lip augmentation. So, for example, with the help of this cosmetic procedure, you can correct existing asymmetry of the lower or upper lip, hide a scar or smooth out wrinkles. Or, for example, you don’t like how your teeth and gums are exposed when you smile. This aesthetic problem can also be solved by injecting fillers with hyaluronic acid.
But, of course, most often, girls (and even men) turn to the additional volume in order to make the smile more seductive and sensitive with the help of injections. Therefore, the lip contouring procedure is suitable for everyone who wants to correct the shape or size of their lips and at the same time does not want to resort to such aggressive methods as plastic surgery. Your gender and age (starting at eighteen years old) do not matter, but you should pay attention to the general list of contraindications that can become an obstacle to the lip augmentation procedure.
Benefits of lip contouring
The lip filling procedure in our medical center has a lot of advantages compared to plastic surgery:
Fast result
The effect is noticeable immediately after the introduction of the hyaluronic acid preparation into the tissues. A few weeks after the injections, it is possible to re-inject the filler (the so-called correction), which will bring the work of the dermatologist to perfection.
Security
Lip augmentation injections are absolutely safe due to the composition of fillers based on a substance of biological origin (hyaluronic acid). The risk of allergic reactions and complications after injections is minimal. Moreover, all drugs used by our specialists in the Royal Beauty Salon in Forest Hill undergo mandatory certification. And this means that we choose to use only proven fillers that do not harm health and have no side effects.

Fast recovery
After the intradermal injection of the drug with hyaluronic acid, a short rehabilitation period can be observed, which is associated exclusively with the process of inserting a needle into the skin (prick). After an intradermal injection, slight bruising and swelling may appear in the injection area. But don’t worry, they will leave quickly.
Long-lasting
effect
The effect after a session of filling the lips with hyaluronic acid usually lasts from two months to six months. The period can vary individually based on the characteristics of the body, your lifestyle, and, most importantly, the type of drug.
Contraindications for lip contouring:
- Pregnancy and lactation;
- Respiratory viral infections;
- Chronic diseases in the relapse stage;
- Mechanical injuries of each integument in the area of lip correction;
- Diseases of the autoimmune spectrum;
- Taking anticoagulants;
- Diseases associated with impaired blood coagulation.
If you have one of the listed conditions, the introduction of fillers based on hyaluronic acid to fill your lips is contraindicated. Remember that your health comes first.
What is the result of the procedure?
The result can be seen immediately after the introduction of the filler. But do not rush to evaluate it because, for a few more days, a slight swelling will be noticeable on the lips. Lips will look much fuller and fuller. This is usually followed by a re-correction of the lips. The final effect of the procedure can only be assessed after the swelling has subsided.
In the hands of a professional, lip correction is carried out so carefully that the result of the injection will be as natural and natural as possible. All gels that we use are mobile. That is, they are able to withstand the full range of facial movements and retain their effect on average for about six months. However, the output of each drug depends on its density and individual characteristics. The exact duration of the drug that was injected into your lips can only be told by your cosmetologist.
Consider also the basic rules of rehabilitation after lip correction. During the week, you are not recommended to visit saunas, solariums, and gyms with a lot of physical activity. The doctor will tell you more about the features of lip care after the procedure.
Faq
Recommended number of treatments
Lip augmentation with a filler based on hyaluronic acid will give you the opportunity to get the result after the first procedure. It is possible to fully appreciate the effect of contour plastic surgery in 10–14 days when the patient’s swelling after injections completely disappears. In some cases, an additional procedure for correction may be indicated. The effect obtained lasts from 6 to 12 months, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, including the rate of metabolic processes and hormonal levels.
Safety of lip contouring
The safety of the correction procedure is ensured by the high degree of cleaning of the fillers. With the help of one session, you can solve a whole range of problems: increase the volume of the lips, change their natural outlines and model the shape, and give the lips smoothness, softness, and sensuality. The choice of the most suitable drug is made by a cosmetologist at a preliminary consultation. The nature of the proposed changes, the characteristics of the patient’s skin, and other individual wishes are taken into account. Safety is an important criterion for this procedure. Therefore, only preparations that have proven themselves and have a quality certificate in the EU and Ukraine are used in lip contouring.
How is the procedure?
A specialist in our salon starts the procedure only after a preliminary consultation. This helps to minimize the risk of allergies and other complications after the injection.
During the consultation, the doctor also chooses the appropriate filler based on the tasks and characteristics of the patient. Royal Beauty Salon uses only proven, certified products based on hyaluronic acid.
For lip augmentation in Forest Hills, we use French-made Juvederm products. These are high-quality, hypoallergenic fillers of different viscosity and volume (0.5 ml and 1 ml). The specialist will individually, depending on the desired result, select a drug for you from the line and prescribe the necessary dosage (from 0.5 ml to 2 ml).
Lip augmentation with fillers in Queens at Royal Beauty Salon is performed by qualified dermatologists and cosmetologists. We use only certified drugs and follow all medical protocols for the procedure.
Juvederm products from Allergan. It contains hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, which reduces the risk of allergy to dermal filler after injection. These products are always evenly distributed under the skin – this ensures the most natural result.
The technique of introducing the selected drug is also determined by the injection doctor himself. Before performing lip augmentation (injection), the specialist will treat the area with an antiseptic and also, at your request, apply anesthesia. Usually, this is a special cream with an anesthetic effect. It will allow you to carry out the procedure as comfortably and without pain as possible.
After that, with a thin needle explicitly designed for the introduction of a dermal filler, the doctor makes injections of hyaluronic acid. On average, this process takes up to 30 minutes.
Recommendations after the procedure
After the procedure, swelling may occur, which disappears in 2-3 days.
It is better to exclude the use of very hot food during the day after contouring.
Within 2-3 days, you should stop using decorative cosmetics. The doctor may recommend that you treat your lips with a special cream.
For 5-7 days, it is necessary to limit the thermal effect, including refusing to visit the bath, sauna, solarium, taking a hot bath.
How long does the result from lip fillers last?
The result of lip augmentation lasts from 6 to 18 months. The duration of the effect depends on the characteristics of the organism and the density of the drug used.
How to decide on the choice of a drug for injections?
Only a licensed cosmetologist can choose a suitable drug based on the tasks set before him. In addition to the quality of the filler itself, the specialist will pay attention to its composition and additional properties. In no case do not engage in self-medication, and do not order a filler yourself! Do not fall for the tricks of sellers who write the word “promotion” on the product. After all, as a rule, such preparations are insufficiently purified, which may lead to complications in the future. The drug can eventually granulate and cause tissue fibrosis. As a result, you will have to pay additional money for the dissolution of the filler and re-introduction of its high-quality analog.
Will the lips not look artificial?
Modern dermal fillers, unlike old polymers, have unique plasticity. This means that when they get under the skin, they do not create the effect of artificial, motionless lips. With these preparations, your facial expressions will be as natural as possible. You will be able to smile confidently and speak without any discomfort.
Do beauty injections hurt?
Any injection implies some discomfort because the skin is injured during injections. Usually, the patient feels slight tingling. But if you have a low pain threshold, the specialist will apply anesthetic gel to the treated area. In this case, the procedure is almost imperceptible to the client.
Is every beautician can enlarge my lips?
There are many specialists in aesthetic medicine, but you need to look for real certified cosmetologists. Remember that injections of any drug can only be done by injection with a medical education, who not only perfectly knows injection techniques but also knows how to treat complications after the introduction of fillers and knows the anatomy of the human face.
After the injections, will I have big lips?
When it comes to really beautiful lips that look natural and very neat, the moderation and quality of the injected drug are very important. At the Royal Beauty Salon, we stand for natural beauty when the lips harmoniously fit into the image. For such cases, only 1 ml of the drug is enough to bring your facial features to perfection. At the same time, keep in mind that in the first week after augmentation, there will be a slight swelling on the lips. Due to it, the volume will seem larger, but over time it will go away, and your lips will acquire an ideal shape.
