Features of the lip augmentation procedure

Hyaluronic acid is most often used to change the volume of the lips. Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is harmful only in large quantities. This drug is natural. Its distinctive ability is to retain water in cells. Every person has acid in their body. But under the influence of sunlight and age, a person loses this substance.

A cosmetologist may suggest giving your lips an attractive and aesthetic appearance, and for this you need to prepare:

• analyze the patient’s health status;
• find out your wishes regarding the procedure;
• no contraindications;
• choice of execution technique;
• selection of anesthesia;
• injections;
• removal of edema;
• care recommendations.

If you follow all care recommendations, the swelling will subside in 4-5 days. Girls who want to achieve extraordinary lip augmentation should understand that they cannot inject a lot of the drug. Lip augmentation is not harmful if you follow the rules.

Violation of the rules may cause:

• severe swelling;
• unexpected change in lip shape;
• formation of balls.

It is best to repeat the intervention after complete recovery, that is, in a month.

Stages of preparation and implementation of the procedure

The correction procedure is not complicated. It is carried out within the framework of a cosmetology salon or medical institution. Lip Botox is done after preliminary preparation.

Consultation allows you to resolve a number of key issues:

• presence of contraindications;
• the presence of individual intolerance to the drug;
• desired result;
• how many units of Botox are needed to achieve the goal.

During the consultation, the specialist explains how the procedure is done. He outlines where the punctures will be made. The patient learns what requirements must be met before administering the drug, and also receives information about the features of the rehabilitation period. The easiest way to lift the corners of your lips is with Botox.

Before administration it is prohibited:

• drink alcoholic beverages;
• use drugs that reduce blood clotting;
• eat salty, fried, spicy, smoked foods;
• perform bending exercises or back massage;
• drink plenty of fluids.

Botox is injected into the lips within 10-15 minutes. The procedure is quick and painless. If the skin is hypersensitive, a local anesthetic is used. To compare the result, the cosmetologist takes a photo of the lips with and without Botox.

The procedure itself takes place in several stages.

1. Marking. The specialist marks the lip contour with a marker. It shows where it is necessary to lift or adjust the shape, where punctures will be made.
2. Determination of the volume of the drug. The cosmetologist calculates the exact amount of the drug to be administered.
3. Introduction of botulinum toxin. The drug is injected according to pre-applied markings with thin needles. Its administration is carried out subcutaneously or intradermally.
4. Injection distribution. To distribute the substance evenly, after the puncture, gentle pressure and massage movements are applied to the puncture area.
5. Observation. For 30 minutes after the procedure, the patient is under the supervision of medical personnel.

Finally, the patient receives recommendations on behavior and lip care during the rehabilitation period.

Contraindications

Many girls dream of changing something in their appearance. For example, plump lips are almost everyone’s dream, but, unfortunately, not everyone can achieve it. The characteristics of the body do not always allow such manipulations. Many people think that “pumping up” lips is harmful, but this is not true!

There are not many contraindications to lip augmentation, but they are serious, and you should adhere to them:

1. pregnancy;
2. lactation;
3. immune failures;
4. disruption of the endocrine system;
5. infection or inflammation near the lips;
6. diseases (viral, infectious, inflammatory) in acute form;
7. exacerbation of chronic diseases;
8. taking certain medications (the list should always be checked with a cosmetologist).

It must be taken into account that there may be an allergy to the substance, especially if the person is allergic.

If you ignore contraindications, then after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid there can be different consequences, you will even need the help of a surgeon.

Any woman who is pregnant for the first time feels incredibly happy thinking about the day she will hold her baby in her arms and always worries about the pain during childbirth. There is no woman in the world who would not be afraid of this pain. Women who have given birth remember this pain; those who have never given birth are also well informed, because they constantly ask whether the pain is severe or tolerable. Many people constantly read about different ways to reduce pain and consult doctors. Now we will consider in detail the question “how to breathe correctly during labor and childbirth?” We hope you find this information useful.

There are many methods of anesthesia during childbirth:

• Painkillers
• Sedatives
• Inhalational anesthetics (nitrous oxide)
• Local anesthesia (blockade)
• General anesthesia
• Acupuncture
• Physiotherapy (massage, heat)
• Entertainment (watching TV, listening to music, meditation)
• Correct breathing

One of the proven and effective methods of labor anesthesia is the use of correct breathing during labor.

How can a pregnant woman learn to breathe correctly during labor and childbirth?

Breathing techniques cannot be learned quickly; it takes time. It is also not worth practicing on your own; it is advisable to attend courses for pregnant women and you need to start classes at twenty-eight to thirty weeks of pregnancy. Every day you can devote fifteen to twenty minutes to breathing techniques. During pregnancy, a girl is recommended to practice correct breathing in the following way:

Relaxing breathing, when you inhale through your nose, counting to 4 (“one-two-three-four”), then exhale through the mouth, counting to 6 (“one-two-three-four-five-six”) in moderate pace, try to always exhale longer than inhale. It is recommended to fold your lips into a “tube” when exhaling. You need to practice breathing like this at rest, while walking, sitting or lying down.

Varieties of correct breathing

Each breath, depending on the period of labor, is performed differently:

Contractions begin: how to breathe correctly? It is advisable to behave calmly, relaxed, inhale deeply through the nose and count to 4 (“one-two-three-four”) at a moderate pace, not too fast, then exhale deeply through the mouth and count to 6 (“one-two-three- four five six"). This breathing must be repeated continuously until the contractions intensify.

The pain increases, what breathing should I use? You need to switch to frequent and short breathing, breathe quickly, shallowly “like a dog,” inhale and exhale, and so repeat until you start pushing.

Efforts begin, how to breathe correctly? Pushing is the most painful period in childbirth, and to reduce the pain, you again need to breathe deeply, deep inhale, deep exhale, then when pushing increases, you need to take a deep breath and stop breathing, pushing the baby through the birth canal, take a short sharp exhale. Repeat several times until the baby is born.

Proper breathing - pain-free childbirth

Proper breathing is used by many women in labor and is one of the easily accessible methods of childbirth anesthesia. In this case, the child receives enough oxygen and will not experience hypoxia. Thanks to proper breathing, the woman in labor feels relaxed, calms down, is distracted by breathing, and does not feel severe pain. For this reason, childbirth is easier, faster, without complications and acute pain.

Methods and complications during childbirth

Babies can be born in a variety of positions:

- posterior occipital;

- buttocks forward;

— transverse position;

Breech babies are positioned inside the uterus with their buttocks forward; if they lie feet first, this is known as a breech baby. Breech babies can sometimes be turned inside the uterus by a doctor or obstetrician before birth using natural methods.

Even if the baby is inside the uterus in the most natural position, difficulties may occur during childbirth, so emergency medical care is often required. Caesarean section is an emergency life-saving measure; it is very often used for breech birth, although not always justified. Other methods may also help with the birth of your baby.

Despite the best intentions, as well as sophisticated calculations, children can begin to be born at the most unexpected and inopportune moment. It is necessary that, whenever possible, during childbirth, mother and child are kept in a warm room, the physical and emotional state of the woman is maintained in it, and timely help and support is provided, if necessary.

You should also make sure that there are no remnants of the fetal membrane on the child’s face, which could greatly interfere with the child’s normal breathing. It is necessary that mother and child remain warm until help arrives. It is not that important to clamp and cut the umbilical cord that connects the baby to the placenta. The placenta may remain attached to the baby for some time. However, if the placenta does not separate, bleeding may occur.

In the normal course of labor, expulsion of the placenta occurs during the third stage and is often practically unnoticed. The uterus continues to contract, the placenta separates from the inner layer of the uterus, the contractions of the uterus prevent unnecessary bleeding, and the placenta slips out on its own.

Some birth attendants will tug on the umbilical cord to help the placenta separate, while in other cases the woman will be given intravenous injections of ergotamine to create contractions strong enough to help the placenta move quickly from the uterus. The appropriateness of such a method in most cases will be considered quite controversial among doctors.

Hemorrhage continues to be a leading cause of maternal morbidity and death. Retained placenta may require manual removal from the uterus. Early cord entrapment has no effect on blood loss or bleeding.

How to overcome a woman's fear of childbirth?

Today there is a real baby boom. Almost all celebrities are not afraid to give birth, and some families even adopt children. For many, pregnancy occurs at the age of 32-38 years. Previously, this age was considered late, but now it is a common practice. In any case, if the body is capable of conceiving a child, it means that the woman is able to bear a healthy child while observing certain requirements.

The state of pregnancy is unique and inimitable. After all, the life of a little person develops inside a woman. The first signs of pregnancy are almost similar to the symptoms before menstruation. Sometimes the symptoms are not noticeable at all. A pregnant woman may be craving salty and sweet foods at the same time. Not all people are the same, so taste preferences during pregnancy are different. Thirst increases as the volume of blood increases, due to which the vital functions of two people are ensured. The feeling of life inside is a very unusual sensation. A pregnant woman experiences extraordinary happiness from the fact that a little man is growing inside her.

The life and health of a little man depends only on the woman. She must observe the correct rest and work schedule, as well as eat right and exercise. Also, to reduce fears of childbirth, you need to take courses for pregnant women that prepare you for a successful birth. You can take courses either alone or with your other half. It is necessary to register with a gynecologist, do an ultrasound and take the necessary tests. All this is needed to have a healthy baby. After all, the health of the child is in the hands of the expectant mother. Many pregnant women are afraid of the onset of contractions, but this should not be done. Fear does not relax the uterus, but rather strengthens it, preventing it from opening fully. To relieve tension, you need to relax, you can even engage in caresses with your other half. This gives the pregnant woman happiness and peace of mind. If contractions start, don't panic. This is a natural process that allows a child to be born. Don’t be afraid of contractions; you need to imagine that the uterus is a bud from which a flower is about to open. Childbirth burns a lot of calories. That’s why you want to eat so much after giving birth. The birth of a child is the greatest happiness for a woman. And this happiness is incomparable.

After giving birth, the uterus will be enlarged within two weeks, so the tummy may appear a little larger. But don’t worry, the uterus will shrink in size and the belly will disappear. In order for the uterus and abdomen to return to normal, you need to wear a postpartum bandage that supports the muscles in their natural position. The muscles have forgotten their correct position, which is why wearing a bandage is so important.

After childbirth, diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles) may occur. It is important to start therapeutic exercises after childbirth.

Danger of fibrosis after hyaluronic acid

Why is lip augmentation dangerous? Fibrosis is tissue scarring in the injection area, which becomes noticeable 3-4 weeks after the intervention.

Causes of fibrosis:

• non-compliance with the cosmetologist’s recommendations;
• incorrectly selected technique for administering the drug;
• acid rejection.

Seals, so-called “lumps,” appear on the lips. If the seals do not disappear after 2-3 weeks, then you should immediately contact a cosmetologist. A professional will help prevent fibrosis after using hyaluronic acid.

Cost of the procedure

Another pressing question: how much does it cost to pump up your lips with Botox? The final cost of the procedure is influenced by factors such as:

• material used;
• the volume of the drug required for injection;
• specialist qualification.

In a specialized clinic, where high-class specialists are involved, the cost of Botox will be higher than in a simple cosmetology office. The administration of the drug Dysport is relatively cheaper. But it requires more injection than botulinum toxin, so the final difference is negligible.

On average, the cost of one unit of Botox is about 300 rubles. Dysport 130-150 rubles. At the same time, experts note that Dysport will be required 2-3 times more.

The injection gives a positive and long-lasting result only in cases where the patient is thoughtful about choosing a clinic and carefully follows all the specialist’s recommendations.

What complications can there be?

Even with the choice of safe drugs, careful administration and the experience of a specialist, side effects and consequences after lip augmentation still occur.

Swelling

After injections, tissue swelling is always observed. This shows that the acid is holding water in the cells. Swelling usually disappears after a couple of days. In people prone to swelling, it usually goes away within a week.

Causes of excessive swelling:

• excessive amount of administered drug;
• low-quality filler;
• non-compliance with care recommendations.

There is a proven way to remove swelling - an ice cube. You need to wrap the cube in a handkerchief and apply it for a couple of minutes, approximately every two hours. But you need to be careful with this method, as hypothermia is possible.

Hematomas

After an intervention of this kind, hematomas may appear. The fact is that the lip area is very delicate. The cause may also be an incorrectly chosen technique for administering the drug. The bruises go away within a week. To speed up the healing process, you can use gels and ointments for hematomas.

Balls and lumps

Seals in the form of balls and lumps may appear immediately after injections or later. The appearance of a hematoma at the injection point may indicate that too much of the drug was injected. You need to properly care for it and massage it, then the balls will disappear. If the lumps increase and the pain intensifies, then you need to consult a cosmetologist.

Herpes

Herpes appears due to decreased immunity. During lip augmentation surgery, small injuries occur at the injection site. Because of this, small blisters may appear - herpes. If you are prone to the virus, you need to take medications to boost your immunity.

Who can and cannot get lip implants?

Indications for the procedure may simply be a woman’s dissatisfaction with her appearance: the shape and size of her lips, their asymmetry, age-related wrinkles. This does not mean that the doctor will agree to give silicone lips to any woman. There are circumstances in which neither of them will undertake this:

Lips before and after silicone

• The patient’s lips are objectively large enough and look harmonious on the face;
• The patient's age is less than 18 years. Minors will be asked to grow up first. All manipulations are done with the permission of their parents. And it is unknown how silicone will behave in a growing and changing body;
• The patient requires disproportionate lip augmentation, for example, only the upper one, which will make the face look funny and awkward;
• There are prerequisites that pumping silicone into your lips means spoiling your appearance rather than correcting a defect. This happens with very thin lips;
• There are contraindications for the patient’s health (inadequate mental state, collagenosis, diabetes mellitus, blood clotting disorders).

Advantages and disadvantages

Lip surgery is a popular way to correct the shape at a young age. A small list of contraindications and side effects allows you to start from 18 to 65 years of age. The natural look provides volume to the lips and smoothes out the network of wrinkles.
