What is a lip augmentation device?
This product, or plumper, as it is commonly called in the modern beauty industry, promotes lip enlargement without the use of injections or other chemical additives. This is a product that can add volume for up to 3 hours. It is made of cotton fabric or silicone in the form of a small pad, which you need to bring to your lips and hold for a few seconds for the result to appear.
Plumpers are presented in 3 variations:
- small oval - to align the lines and contour of the lips, as well as to give a small volume to a specific area;
- medium oval is an indispensable assistant for girls and women with thin lips, it adds volume;
- large oval - enlarges both lips.
It would seem that everything is simple, but you need to remember some procedures that you need to go through before using this thing. Cosmetologists recommend scrubbing your lips. This is done with a special scrub or a simple toothbrush, as you like.
Next, hygienic lipstick or caring balm is applied, and only then the lip device is used. So, voila! Plump lips are guaranteed, you can go conquer the world. Do not forget about precautions - too strong a desire to become the owner of big lips can lead to a real hematoma, which takes a long time to go away, and does not look very attractive.
It is believed that the lip device originated in Europe in the 17th century in order to plump not only the lips, but also the cheeks. Of course, it gradually changed, but the effect remains the same. However, currently, a woman named Linda Gomez began to notice that her lips began to lose volume and clarity of lines over time, so she came up with the idea of using such a simulator, and the effect was not long in coming.
How is the procedure performed?
The first step to performing the procedure is an initial consultation. During the conversation, the doctor finds out your expectations from the upcoming procedure, identifies contraindications and warns about possible side effects after injections. For each patient, the doctor selects an individual set of injections that will help achieve the best aesthetic effect. The choice of drugs is influenced by the condition of the skin in the intended injection area, the extensibility and depth of wrinkles, as well as the desired duration of action of the drug.
There are:
- medium-density biogels are used to eliminate shallow wrinkles, correct the shape of the lips, for injections in areas of thin skin (duration of action is 6-8 months);
- High-density biogels are used to enlarge lips, correct deep wrinkles and folds, and change facial features (duration of action is 8-12 months).
The procedure takes from 30 to 40 minutes, with the duration of the injection being 1-2 minutes. To smooth out fine wrinkles, as a rule, no anesthesia is required. Local (as well as conduction) anesthesia is used to correct nasolabial folds, change facial features and increase lip volume, i.e. in cases of introducing significant volumes of gel.
The biogel is injected step by step under a wrinkle or fold using a thin needle. To correct the shape of the lips, injections are made along the contour of the lips. To increase the volume of the lips, needle injections are made from the side of the mucous membrane to a depth of 3 mm.
The aesthetic effect of the procedure is visible immediately, but the final result can be assessed after a day, when the swelling of the skin subsides. After the procedure, the patient can go home; a stay in the clinic is not required.
Forms of the device for lip augmentation
As already mentioned, lip plumpers come in 3 types, but many different forms have been invented. Some are miniature and neat, while others, on the contrary, are quite voluminous and suitable for use only at home. Each girl decides for herself which one to choose, which one suits her more than the others. Recently, cases of copying products have become more frequent, which leads to not very positive results. In pursuit of beauty, some girls try to save money by harming their lips. So, for example, counterfeiting a certified product costs from 100 rubles, but the effect justifies the cost. The material is not of high quality, but the cheapest. This causes injury to the lips and the area around them, leading to premature wrinkles and bruises. They may use rubber rather than silicone, which also causes damage to delicate skin.
Dear ladies should know that frequent use of a new pump can lead to sagging lips, and this will greatly upset beauties. The famous Linda Gomez personally said that she uses her invention to go out, and appears at home only with simple and unobtrusive makeup. It is best to use the device before a photo shoot, where volume and slight swelling will be more useful than ever. You can often see questions on the Internet about what to replace full-lip with. The fantasy of fashionistas has no limits, and they use improvised means. It gets to the point where small glasses are used. This seems funny and absurd, but the fact remains a fact and there is no escape from it.
In order to appreciate the beauty of the innovation, it is better not to delay the purchase and order it as soon as possible. Surely those around you will notice changes for the better in your appearance and will shower the owner of plump lips with compliments.

Biopolymer on the lips: consequences, reviews
Most girls dream of having beautiful lips, plump and seductive.
Not everyone is naturally like this, and this forces us to look for methods that will allow us to achieve our goal. Beautiful and expressive facial features encourage many representatives of the fairer sex to use plastic surgery and all kinds of cosmetic procedures. One of the modern products is a biopolymer; this component allows you to increase the volume of your lips. What kind of material is this, its characteristics and purpose, for what purposes is it used?
What is a biopolymer?
Biopolymer is part of a class of polymers that occur naturally in many living organisms:
They consist of monomers, identical or similar units. There are two types of biopolymers - regular and irregular. If we talk about cosmetic procedures, then in this case a synthetic biopolymer is used. The gel is intended for lip correction and allows you to get a more lasting desired result than using other products with a natural composition. Among synthetic biopolymers, there are three most popular:
- L-lactic acid polymer - designed to fill contour defects in the facial area, eliminate deep wrinkles, the achieved effect can last 2 years;
- bio-alkamide - its use allows the filler not to migrate, but to remain in place after injection in the injection area;
- polymethyl methacrylate - it is most widely used as an alternative to plastic surgery for facelifts.
In recent years, more and more new biopolymer preparations for injection in contour plastic surgery have appeared. The safety and effectiveness of these agents will depend on several conditions:
- absence of allergies and immune invasion;
- biocompatibility with human tissues;
- penetration only into the injection zones, and not into other skin structures;
- no toxicity.
The biopolymer used for injections in cosmetology consists of water and microparticles, they have a silicone base. Unlike natural biopolymers, synthetic ones are more reliable; their biological decomposition occurs very slowly or does not occur at all. The product has a long-lasting effect, which is an undoubted success, but all the possibilities of the substance in the field of aesthetic surgery have not yet been fully studied.
Carrying out lip augmentation procedure
Injections with biopolymer cannot be carried out independently at home, since there are many risks associated with health. If you do not know the intricacies of the procedure, you are likely to disfigure your lips, as well as distort other facial features. The schemes by which these procedures are carried out are selected individually and can be performed by professional cosmetologists with extensive experience. They will be able to select the right gel, determine the dosage and outline of the contour. The procedure is performed in several stages:
- the lip area is treated with a disinfectant;
- local anesthesia is given;
- using a microscopic needle, filler is injected into the lips into the subcutaneous layer step by step; injections can be made subcutaneously intramuscularly or into the mucous membrane;
- At the end of the procedure, a massage is performed to better and evenly distribute the gel under the skin.
The entire procedure takes from half an hour to an hour and a half. The very next day, redness and marks from injections will disappear. The final result can be seen in about 1 month, by which time the connective tissue will have time to cover the inclusions with gel. Cosmetologists guarantee that lip augmentation procedures last for at least 5 years.
In aesthetic surgery, a biopolymer for injection into the lips is characterized by the following advantages:
- the biopolymer used for these purposes is an inert material, so there is no inflammation or rejection after the procedures;
- it does not change under the influence of temperature;
- does not cause cancer;
- if the technique is followed, it allows you to successfully model the volume and contour of the lips, smooth out wrinkles in the lip area;
- after injection, retains the same viscosity;
- its stability makes it possible to maintain the effect for at least 4 years.
Consequences after introducing the gel into the lips
Such procedures are associated with certain risks, and even experienced cosmetologists cannot always calculate and take them into account. Unpleasant consequences may appear immediately or some time after injection of the synthetic gel. If it is inserted incorrectly, it can lead to deformation of the skin surface. This may appear as:
- flow of filler into the skin-fat structure of the fiber;
- hardening;
- inflammation.
In this case, distortion of facial features and deformation of lips can be observed. More than once we have heard negative reviews from clients who suffered from incorrect insertion techniques. Now they want to warn other fans of newfangled procedures not to do them headlong, because then they will have to pay too high a price for their own and others’ mistakes.
According to plastic surgeons, the insidiousness of the gel can manifest itself after years, and to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to visit them after the procedure at least once every six months. The specialist will be able to intercept the manifestation of complications in time. Even if nothing alarms or causes concern after the injections, such visits should become a strict necessity.
