Most women thought about lip augmentation at least once in my life. Not everyone is ready to go under the surgeon's knife. Thanks to the development of cosmetic medicine, this is no longer necessary. Modern techniques allow you to give your lips the required volume or adjust their shape using injections. We are talking about lip contouring.
Although this is not an operation, you should still carefully choose a specialist for the procedure. Such manipulations in aesthetic medicine require knowledge of anatomy, physiology, as well as skill in administering injections using certain techniques. This service is available in beauty salons. Typically, the cost of procedures in such institutions is lower than in medical centers. Contour plastic surgery can be done by people without the necessary knowledge and experience. Our cosmetology clinic “Cleo Line” takes care of you and your comfort. We employ professionals in their field, doctors with extensive practical experience and a huge amount of medical knowledge.
Remember: by saving on the procedure, you can pay dearly in the future not only with your beauty, but also with your health.
Why should you consult a cosmetologist?
Lip contouring seems like a simple manipulation. In fact, the procedure has its own subtleties, if not followed, the result may not only not please the patient, but even disfigure the face. Filler injections must be performed by a qualified professional. By saving on the procedure, you may end up with an incompetent or inexperienced specialist, which will lead to a disastrous result. The low cost of the service may be due to cheap material, as well as savings on tools or their processing.
For a clear example, let’s look at the top 10 possible complications when performing lip contouring. First, let's talk about those related to the unprofessionalism of cosmetologists.
Huge lips
A competent cosmetologist knows how to assess the condition of tissues and the required volume of the drug. Without this skill and experience, you may accidentally inject an excessive amount of filler. Were you expecting plump, beautiful lips, but what came out was huge rollers covering half your face? Unfortunately, you were given too much of the drug. The effect of fillers lasts up to 1 year. In cosmetology centers, similar mistakes of other masters can be corrected with the help of special enzymes. It should be noted that the possibility of correcting the defect depends on the composition of the drug. In some cases, it is impossible to do without the intervention of a surgeon.
Violation of facial proportions
Before lip augmentation, the cosmetologist will listen to your wishes and give his recommendations. When translated into reality, our desires do not always meet our expectations. Excessively large lips can disrupt the harmony of facial proportions. A mouth that is too large is not perceived as something beautiful. Before the procedure, an experienced specialist designs the expected result, taking into account the features and proportions of the face.
Violation of lip proportions
The aesthetics of the lips is based not only on their overall volume, but also on other criteria. Leonardo Da Vinci's research into ideal beauty relied on the importance of proportions. Every professional cosmetologist follows his rule of the golden ratio. It is important to consider the ideal lip ratio. The upper lip should be 1/3 in volume, and the lower lip 2/3. A violation of these proportions immediately catches the eye and the face loses its attractiveness. Before starting the procedure, the doctor must take into account that the lower lip in profile should be larger than the upper lip, and select the necessary filler dosages for each separately.
Deformation of lip anatomy
There is nothing more attractive than natural beauty. Lips naturally have their own delicate anatomy. Thanks to their smooth curves, lips are attractive. There should be a vertical groove (philtrum) above the upper lip, and a labial tubercle below it. In addition to these anatomical structures, lips have a number of details. Cosmetologists take these nuances into account in their work and do not violate the architectonics of the face. The natural contours of the lips give them an attractive appearance. A self-taught cosmetologist will perform contour plastic surgery cheaper than a specialist in a clinic. However, as a result, instead of beautiful, plump lips, you may end up with two disfigured “pancakes” on your face, spoiling your entire look.
Mistakes during contouring
Contour plastic surgery is a modern technique of facial modeling using hyaluronic acid fillers. The procedure quickly became popular, because it is difficult to resist the temptation to change the shape of the lips, cheekbones or chin in a few minutes, without experiencing problems with a hospital stay and long-term rehabilitation. But if you read, for example, reviews after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid, you will notice that this apparent “ease of transformation” can be deceptive. A considerable number of cosmetologists are ready to carry out “correction” even at your home; at the same time, their education, experience, sense of taste, as well as the quality of the fillers used often leave much to be desired. As a result, instead of joy, the patient experiences enormous psychological and physical discomfort due to his spoiled appearance. The choice of a specialist must be approached responsibly, because correcting mistakes - redoing lips or completely removing hyaluronic acid - is later more difficult than preventing complications by contacting a trusted aesthetic medicine center from the very beginning.
If you have already encountered poor quality work by a cosmetologist somewhere, GMTClinic will help you correct the mistakes of others. Very often our doctors are asked to remove swelling after hyaluronic acid or eliminate asymmetry if lips have been made crooked. GMTClinic professionals always do an excellent job with their tasks.
Below we will look at a set of measures that our center offers to eliminate the unsuccessful consequences of contour plastic surgery.
Swelling and contouring – what to do?
If your lips become swollen after augmentation or swelling appears under your eyes, do not immediately panic. The fact is that hyaluronic acid has high hydrophilicity (the ability to attract water). Usually this reaction goes away 5-7 days after the procedure. If the density of the filler, its dosage or injection technique is incorrectly selected, the swelling can be quite extensive and last a very long time. The same mistakes can lead to another complication - gel contouring - then unevenness and bumps appear on the face.
How to remove hyaluronic acid in these cases? This may require a course of cosmetic and physiotherapeutic procedures aimed at regulating lymphatic drainage and resolving compactions. For example, plasma lifting and microcurrents stimulate blood and lymph circulation, and with the help of electroporation, therapeutic drugs that improve cellular permeability can be introduced. Massages and thermal treatments also contribute to the biodegradation of hyaluronic acid. If the problem is too large-scale or the patient wants to get rid of the filler quickly, injections of hyaluronidase (an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid) or electrophoresis using this enzyme will come to the rescue.
Lip asymmetry after augmentation - how to fix it?
Another trouble that can await a patient of an inexperienced cosmetologist is uneven distribution of the drug. If you have crooked lips after filler, our specialists can improve their shape using corrective injections. We can carry out the same manipulations in the area of the chin and cheekbones. Lip asymmetry after augmentation can also be corrected with physiotherapy, but correction in this case requires more time. There is a third option - completely remove the filler, and after a while do a new modeling. How to completely remove hyaluronic acid from lips? As in the case of edema, the fastest and most effective way here is to inject hyaluronidase. But in order for the removal of the gel to be uniform and the patient to be satisfied, the procedure requires jeweler precision and knowledge of many nuances from the doctor. The fact that GMTClinic specialists work masterfully in this direction is evidenced by numerous reviews from grateful patients.
If you are suffering from the consequences of poor-quality contour plastic surgery, our experienced cosmetologists will help you get rid of them in the shortest possible time.
If errors are corrected after contouring, then go to GMTClinic!
Lip eversion
The most striking and memorable mistake of a doctor. The introduction of filler into the mucous membrane area leads to eversion of the lips. Their inner surface becomes visible. The lip seems to “fall out” from the mouth. The mucous membrane is lighter than the surface epithelium. Therefore, such inversions are immediately visible. The first association that comes to mind when seeing such victims of cosmetology is “here’s the poor guy, she/he was stung by a bee right on the lips!” In addition to the issue of beauty, you should also think about the harm to health. The everted mucosa dries out with constant contact with air. Gradually it cracks and can become inflamed. As a result, inflammation of the oral cavity (stomatitis) and lips (cheilitis) develops. Do not inject the drug into the mucous membrane of the lips! A cosmetologist will never make such a mistake, which once again guarantees the safety of procedures in cosmetology centers.
If you are on this page, then you are interested in learning more about cheiloplasty. Cheiloplasty is a general concept for all plastic surgeries on the lips. Dr. Guryanov performs all known operations to correct the shape and volume of the lips. You can be sure that you are in the hands of an excellent surgeon with extensive experience if you choose VIP STUDIO. Basically, people come to the doctor to solve problems that could be divided into 4 main groups:
INCREASE IN LIPS VOLUME.
Young girls often come to Dr. Guryanov with a request to make their lips plumper. In his studio, the doctor offers several options on how to solve this problem. And at the first consultation you will have an accurate idea of which method is right for you. However, before your first visit, it would be interesting to learn about methods that help achieve the desired lip volume.
Fillers.
Increasing the volume of the red border is the most common procedure. Most often, the volume of the upper lip is increased. To increase the volume of one or another part of the lips, injectable fillers are most often used. The most popular derivatives of hyaluronic acid (Resteline, Restylane, Surgiderm, etc.) are absorbed after 6-12 months. With their help, you can either enlarge the central or lateral parts of the lip, or emphasize the white ridge and edges of the philtrum. The latest technique is called Parisian lips. Parisian lips were developed and presented in Paris by Lauren Bacall for the spring of 1991 as a gentle, more natural look than the protruding full lips of high fashion models of the late 80s. This is a new style that emphasizes the border of the upper lip, mainly in its central part, called Cupid's bow (arch) so that the lip has a stylish, well-defined appearance. The Paris Lip technique gives you a more expressive appearance by outlining the natural shape of your lips along their border.
Parisian lips outline the border and recreate a natural contour even without lipstick. Not surprisingly, it is enthusiastically received by both 25-year-olds who want a modern, fashionable appearance, and 45-year-olds who restore the natural youthfulness of their lips.
Parisian lips are formed by precisely introducing fillers along the contour of the lip and emphasizing Cupid's Bow. Most often, fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used for this, which provide an effect of up to 1 year. Creating an even lip contour requires good medical skills. The outline may turn out to be intermittent, of uneven thickness or insufficient height; if it is filled too much, the outline may become blurry. This can be avoided by using AlloDerm® thread.
Fillers are very convenient as they give excellent results without any difficulties. It is quite quick, easy and convenient, without any lengthy rehabilitation periods, however, the fillers dissolve. And you will have to constantly add fillers to maintain the desired lip volume.
Lips can be enlarged using your own tissue. Your own fat (lipofilling) or strips of your own tissue (autografting) can be transplanted into your lips. The results are more stable in terms of resorption, however, the rehabilitation period is longer.
What to do if you don’t want to constantly inject fillers, transplant your own tissues and don’t want long-term rehabilitation, but the problem of increasing lip volume still particularly bothers you? Then there is one more option - lip implants.
Lip implants.
Permalip silicone lip implants are a safe and reliable solution to lifelong lip augmentation. More information about Permalip implants can be found on the page dedicated to Permalip. However, let's briefly talk about the advantages of this method:
- 3 different volumes - choose the one that suits your requirements.
- without visible incisions on the lips - to install the implant you only need 2 punctures in the corners of the lips - which means no noticeable seams and long rehabilitation.
- for life, safe, hypoallergenic - the material from which the implant is made does not interact with the human body in any way.
- removal at any time - if suddenly you don’t like the volume (for example, you want to put a larger implant) or you change your mind - the implant can be removed at any time without any visible incisions on the lip.
- Fillers can be used on top of the implant. If the resulting volume is still not enough, the implant is not a contraindication to the use of fillers.
Lip implants provide permanent lip augmentation. Permalip silicone lip implants are a safe and reliable solution to lifelong lip augmentation. The implant material is specially adapted for lips. The Permalip implant was registered by the FDA (USA) in 2004 and approved for medical use. The implant can be removed or replaced with another at any moment. The shape and material of the implant provide natural lip contour and movement.
To create an even and clear lip contour, especially in the USA, a special synthetic Gore-TEX® thread was successfully used. Gore-tex is used to emphasize the smooth contour of the lips and philtrum, as well as for thread lifting of the upper lip. The microporous structure of the thread allows tissues to grow into it. However, there is a tendency of the thread to mix, push out, and show through the skin. The biological collagen thread AlloDerm® turned out to be a successful alternative to Gortex. It is as easy to install as Gore-Tex, but within a few months it is replaced by its own collagen without loss of volume.
CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE LIPS.
Fillers and implants will help increase the volume of the lips, namely their plumpness, but increasing the red border of the lips (especially often used for the upper lip) is achieved by other methods. A number of surgical procedures can change or correct the shape of the lips permanently. Most operations are based on changing the ratio of the skin and mucous membrane of the lips. In Dr. Guryanov's studio, any operations to increase the red border, such as Bullhorn or VY plastic, are performed.
VY lip surgery.
Stable lip augmentation is provided by VY lip surgery . The method is based on surgical expansion of the red border of the lips, while the stitches are hidden on the inside of the lip and are not visible. Stitches are removed after a week.
BULLHORN / Shortening of the upper lip.
Bullhorn is an operation that shortens the cutaneous part of the upper lip. In this case, there is an eversion and an increase in the red border, easier exposure of the incisors when smiling.
The plastic got its name bullhorn from the shape of the seam in the form of buffalo horns, which is hidden under the base of the nose. There are several varieties of this operation, when the suture does not cross the skin of the nasal septum or is hidden in the nose. In addition to shortening, it is possible to lift the upper lip in its central part towards the nose using a special thread.
AGE CHANGES:
Have you noticed that older ladies have practically no upper lips? They become very narrow and unexpressed. The length of the upper lip should be proportional primarily to the front teeth. With age, the lip becomes disproportionately long, completely covering the upper incisors, and the red border turns in and becomes visually smaller.
With age, not only the tone of the skin changes, wrinkles appear and smooth transitions on the face disappear, but also the lips, under the influence of time, become less plump, dull, framed by a network of wrinkles and lose their youthful freshness. However, plastic surgery comes to the rescue and will help you maintain your beautiful appearance. Especially when your surgeon is experienced and reliable. Age-related changes affect not only the lips, but the entire oral (perioral) area, including the chin. There are many reasons for this:
- skin aging
- tissue ptosis
- change in the ratio between soft and hard tissues
- loss of support of teeth and jaws
- reduction in the height of the lower third of the face
- reduction in soft tissue volume
A woman's age can be judged not only by her arms and neck... but also by her lips, and here is a list of 14 changes that occur with age in the perioral (near-oral) area
- perioral wrinkles
- smoothness of the filtrum
- loss of definition and smoothness of the cupid's bow and lip edge
- blurred border between skin and mucous membrane
- increase in the length of the upper lip relative and absolute
- convex upper lip profile
- drooping corners of the lips
- formation of marionette folds
- change in mucous color, appearance of hemangiomas
- sagging of the lower lip in the center, decreased tone
- deepening of the labiomental groove
- drooping chin
- atrophy of the submucosal layer and reduction in lip volume
- changes in muscle balance
Guryanov Andrey Stanislavovich has many years of experience and approaches solving such problems comprehensively. He always approaches each patient individually and offers solutions that suit a particular person. Age-related changes, as we see, have many causes, so perioral rejuvenation should include a whole list of procedures such as:
- elimination of excess skin and tissue
- restoration of the muscular aponeurotic frame of the lips and its balance
- elimination of tissue ptosis
- restoration of volume of lips and oral tissues.
Lifting the corners of the lips
The drooping of the corners of the lips can be true or apparent, due to the illusion created by skin folds. The drooping of the corners can be at rest or appear only during facial expressions. Asymmetry of the corners of the lips is common. Age-related drooping of the corners of the mouth cannot be eliminated with a conventional facelift and requires special techniques depending on the primary causes of the drooping.
One such technique to lift the corner of the mouth and smooth out marionette lines is surgical weakening of the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles. You can also get a similar effect by temporarily weakening DAO with a Botox injection.
Another operation, a corner lift, involves excision of small excess tissue in the corners of the lips (skin and muscles) and gives a more pronounced effect, especially on so-called “sour” mouths. This operation can be supplemented by the injection of fillers into marionette lines.

FORCED OPERATIONS.
Removal of biopolymer gel.
Lip enlargement can be caused not only by excess filler, but also by pathological growth of lip tissue in response to the introduction of even a minimal amount of biopolymer gel. Excess of some fillers can be removed through punctures, while others (for example, hyaluronic acid) are easily dissolved by enzymes. Overgrown tissue is either removed, maintaining the shape of the lip, or conservative treatment is carried out. Patients often come to Dr. Guryanov with problems that arose after the introduction of the biopolymer. For a long time, Andrei Stanislavovich has been the best surgeon who helps patients with this problem. The doctor performs the operations very carefully and returns the lips to their natural appearance. In addition to lip augmentation, sometimes it is necessary to reduce them in case of congenital or acquired lip enlargement.
Gummy smile.
A smile in which the incisors are exposed from 1/3 of their length and no more than the edge of the gum is considered aesthetically attractive. Exposing the gums when smiling is called a gummy smile. It is due to the anatomical features of the structure of the perioral area. Algorithms for eliminating a gummy smile depend on the degree of its severity and anatomical features. Typically, measures such as reducing the depth of the vestibule of the upper lip, mobilizing the orbicularis labii muscle to reduce its mobility, and installing an implant to prevent the lip from sliding upward are used.
Elimination of a gummy smile with simultaneous surgical augmentation of the upper lip.
Dr. Guryanov is one of the outstanding surgeons of the present time, who is constantly improving his methods, and is a pioneer in the field of 3D modeling for plastic surgery purposes. More than 30 years of experience and a huge number of successfully completed operations.
If you decide to find an experienced, responsible surgeon, and decide to achieve a good result, sign up for an initial consultation with Dr. Guryanov and learn more about the methods that can be applied specifically in your case.
"Duck Mouth"
This is called protrusion of the lips forward. This is another mistake by the master. Duck mouth occurs when an excessive amount of filler is injected into the upper lip. It overflows and becomes longer. Hence the analogy with a duck's beak. Excess hyaluronic acid can be removed using special enzymes in cosmetology centers. When using fillers with another active substance, the work of a surgeon will be required.
Drooping corners of the mouth
With age, not only wrinkles appear on the face. One of the unpleasant signs of aging skin is drooping corners of the mouth. Using contour plastic surgery, a cosmetologist not only adds volume to the lips, but also takes into account the anatomical changes in facial tissues. A good, experienced specialist will do everything possible to correct the shape of the lips and simultaneously lift the corners of the mouth.
Causes
The lower and upper lips may appear asymmetrical on the face for the following reasons:
- anatomical features;
- consequences of injuries;
- age-related changes;
- weakness of facial muscles;
- pathology of the facial nerve.
Additionally, lip asymmetry can occur due to surgery. 10-15 years ago, lip augmentation and correction were mainly carried out using non-absorbable implants, which over time shifted and deformed the lips. Today they are removed, and the volume of the lips is filled with fillers.
Inflammation
Infection of the lips occurs when sterility is violated during and after manipulations. The rules of asepsis and antiseptics are known to cosmetologists as the multiplication table. This is one of the foundations of medicine. Non-professional craftsmen, especially those who are self-taught or who see patients at home, violate the rules of sterility. As a result, the puncture sites become infected and the lip becomes inflamed. The consequences can be extremely dire. You can't do it without the help of a surgeon.
In cosmetology centers, such a complication occurs in extremely rare cases. Most often, they are associated with existing acute and chronic diseases, about which the patient decided not to notify the cosmetologist. A consultation before the procedure is carried out to identify contraindications. It is very important not to hide information from a specialist. Patients may also ignore post-procedure care recommendations given by their doctor. This can also lead to inflammation.
How to correct lip asymmetry
There are many techniques that allow you to restore harmony on your face. However, many of them (for example, surgical plastic surgery) are traumatic and require a long rehabilitation period. That's why cosmetologists recommend an affordable, safe alternative - eliminating the problem with hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid
Correction of lip asymmetry is possible by enlarging them with hyaluronic acid. This method is called contour plastic and has a number of advantages:
- the ability to get the desired result in just one procedure;
- if indicated, the technique can be used for young patients;
- speed of implementation, lack of preparatory and rehabilitation period;
- duration of retention of the result;
- safety of the procedure.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural product that has been actively used in cosmetology for a long time. This substance is naturally present in the body of every person (including in epithelial tissue), regulating water balance, protecting cells from the effects of free radicals and accelerating their regeneration, which is why you should not be afraid of its artificial use.
In addition, this component is biodegradable and, after injection, is gradually eliminated from the body. In this case, the procedure can be repeated.
Surgiderm and Juvederm are widely used for facial contouring. A specialist will help you choose the optimal filler, as well as its degree of viscosity, in each specific case.
Photos before and after correction
Contour plastic surgery is carried out as follows:
- The specialist examines the patient, selects and marks the area of treatment with a marker.
- An anesthetic gel or cream is applied to the lips.
- The filler is injected using a syringe.
- The skin is cleansed and recommendations for its care are given.
Despite the safety of hyaluronic acid for orgasm, there are still contraindications to its administration. Among them:
- oncology;
- infectious diseases in the acute stage;
- bleeding disorders;
- heat;
- individual intolerance to hyaluronic acid.

What are the dangers of cheap filler?
Enough has already been said about the lack of professionalism of specialists. Now we will talk about drugs. It is possible that an experienced and skilled doctor provides cosmetic services at an extremely low price. You should think about what this might be connected with. Most often, such specialists save on the drugs they work with. So-called permanent fillers do not dissolve over time. "Wow! So this is great! You can do one procedure and the effect will last forever,” this is what a person who does not care about their health will think frivolously.
After injection, permanent fillers gradually migrate to adjacent areas under the skin. This uneven distribution of the drug externally manifests itself as lip deformation. Permanent fillers may contain various impurities. Swelling forms and inflammation begins. The non-absorbable mass feels like something foreign and causes a feeling of discomfort. Scars may form at the puncture site. Unknown filler impurities are most often rejected by the body, and an allergic reaction begins. In a dire case, Quincke's edema may develop and then resuscitation measures will be required.
You shouldn't take risks when working with your own face. Both your beauty and health may suffer. When choosing a specialist for lip contouring, you should not turn to dubious specialists. The low price of drugs and services should not please, but alarm. No one will work at a loss. Savings on fillers for a cosmetologist will result in a replenishment of your wallet, and for you it can become an invitation to the surgeon’s table.
Be beautiful and healthy! We are waiting for you at the cosmetology clinic “Cleo Line”. We guarantee safety and quality when providing our services.
What is facial contouring?
Facial contouring is a modern non-surgical method for correcting age-related changes, asymmetry, scars and adding volume to those parts of the face where it is lacking. It involves the use of special fillers with different compositions, which are drugs administered subcutaneously, intradermally or periosteally by injection. To perform them, ultra-thin needles of 27-30 G are used.
The essence of the method is to introduce a gel-like filler directly under the wrinkle, thereby creating a kind of depot of the drug. Thanks to this, it seems to push the tissue out, which leads to the smoothing of wrinkles, folds, and scars. If the task of contour plastic surgery is to create additional volume of the lips, cheekbones, temples, and chin, then the drug is administered evenly over the entire area of the corrected area of the face.
With the help of modern fillers it is possible to obtain an immediate effect, namely:
- improve facial contour and restore its clarity by eliminating tissue ptosis;
- reduce the depth of nasolabial folds and tear grooves;
- smooth out wrinkles and creases, including deep ones in the area between the eyebrows, forehead, and around the mouth;
- adjust the size of cheekbones, cheeks, temples;
- eliminate signs of facial asymmetry;
- smooth out dystrophic scars and scars, including post-acne;
- eliminate dark circles and hollows under the eyes;
- increase the volume of the lips and improve their shape, raise the corners;
- correct the shape of the nose (straighten the back even if there is a pronounced hump, improve the shape of the wings and tip of the nose);
- increase the volume of the chin, which is especially important for men.
Contour plastic surgery for the purpose of rejuvenation should be performed no earlier than 35-40 years. But to correct facial asymmetry, scars and add volume to lips or cheekbones, it can also be used at a younger age.
Today, facial contouring is a worthy alternative to plastic surgery and more traumatic cosmetic procedures. Its advantages include:
- absolute safety, especially when using biodegradable fillers;
- instant result that can be assessed immediately after the procedure, although the final effect is formed 1-2 weeks after contouring;
- duration of the effect (in most cases, the achieved result lasts 1-2 years);
- obtaining a natural effect, so others will never guess that the youth of the face is maintained with the help of a doctor;
- no need for anesthesia, which sharply reduces the number of contraindications for facial contour correction;
- no risk of scarring;
- the ability to solve a large number of problems in one session: enlarge lips, correct cheekbones, eliminate wrinkles, etc.;
- the simplest and shortest rehabilitation period possible.
At the same time, contour correction of the face with fillers is indeed one of the safest procedures. It has an extremely small number of contraindications, including:
- acute infectious diseases and exacerbations of chronic diseases;
- inflammatory processes in the area of correction;
- the presence of permanent (non-absorbable) fillers in the tissues;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- psychological disorders;
- taking antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants;
- oncological diseases;
- bleeding disorders;
- tendency to form keloid scars;
- allergy to any of the filler components.
Contouring is not recommended if you have recently undergone facial resurfacing or chemical peeling.
