Hi all. I put off reviewing this for a long time this procedure, but still decided. I think this is for the better, since in half a year my opinion has changed many times. The first time I went to a cosmetologist to enlarge my lips was on March 8 this year. A. I decided to give myself a gift, so to speak.
The woman received in a private office. I found out her phone number from a girl who had already contacted her about this issue. I liked the result on it, and I wanted it too. A cosmetologist with extensive experience, if I’m not mistaken, the experience of injections, according to her, is 17 years. First, I called her and made an appointment for a preliminary consultation. I told her what I didn’t like about the shape of my lips. I was not happy with the asymmetry and drooping corners of the lips, and of course I wanted to add volume.
These photos clearly show my problem. The smile is somehow crooked, and even when I smiled, my lips simply stretched out into a straight line on one side, and on the other, the corner of the lip often continued to look down.
When I didn’t smile, but completely relaxed my face, i.e. I did it completely, showing a neutral expression on my face, I looked sad and tired. People often asked me what happened, if I was okay, when I had great mood. I just have to think for five minutes and just be silent. I was already a little sick of it by that point.
The cosmetologist offered me an unknown fifth-generation hyaluronic filler Yvoire (Ivor). And not Yvoire Volume, and a less dense version of it. She argued that it will moisturize the lips, they will remain soft, and there will be less pain and bruising. I agreed, and she made an appointment with me a few days later.
The procedure took about an hour in total. Applicable anesthesia took about 20 minutes of that time.
The first time was, of course, very scary. Needle and all that. Did it hurt? YesNot so much the injection itself, but the injection of filler. It looks like a bee stings. But I managed, for the sake of the result I was ready to endure. Looking ahead, I want to say that in terms of pain, this low-density filler was just as painful as all the others. The cosmetologist periodically gave me a mirror in my hands, and we decided where else to inject together. Nothing was clear, as the lips were swollen and red. But it seemed to work out well. Here I am going home, right after.
Straightaway severe swelling there wasn't. BUT during the day I went to bed and woke up with dumplings. Bruises appeared. My lips hurt. It was difficult to drink. The bruises lasted for several days. I won’t attach a photo, the quality is quite poor, I took the photo with dim lighting. When the swelling and bruising are left behind, lips were very peeling and peeling. I was surprised. They were always dry, and I hoped that now they would become moisturized, but alas.
I also noticed that before this my upper lip was smaller, but now it’s the other way around. Apparently they overdid it a little with the correction of the upper lip, and did not pay enough attention to the lower lip.
But it didn’t take me long to be upset about this, because after a month there was no trace left of the injections. And this is not self-hypnosis, even a couple of friends, privy to my affairs, began to ask where my lips had gone. Before this, I felt that hyaluronic acid had gathered in lumps in some places.. It wasn't visible, but I felt it. The lumps disappeared, and behind them the whole effect. I’m probably just a record holder for removing hyaluronic acid from the body. Instead of being disappointed in all this, I was already excited and rushed to the same cosmetologist. This time I asked for the drug specifically Volume. It cost a thousand rubles more - 9000 rubles. Last time I paid 8000r.
This time I was afraid to put a whole syringe into my lips, and asked to distribute the remainder into the nasolabial folds.
This time I was expecting just enormous swelling and bruising, I even bought a gauze bandage. But there were almost no bruises, and the swelling was no more than last time.
I liked the result from the 1.5 syringe much more. And the filler itself was nicer. He was a little less dependent on water in the body, the first one was directly guilty of this. You wake up with lips, and by the evening they are gone. My first experiments with bright lipsticks began. Before that, they looked downright pathetic on me.
But with baby lip balm, which many here really like.
No lipstick.
But sometimes the hyaluronic acid still disappeared somewhere in the middle of the day. Here, for example.
And it still didn’t last long; after a few months, it felt like half of the filler was left. I went back for injections, with the feeling that I was giving the procedure one last chance.
I went to another cosmetologist who uses Princess Volume. She accepts it in the salon, the cost is 11,000 rubles.
I liked it much more this time. She has a different approach to how to raise the corners of her lips. The first one injected directly into the space where the lips meet, into the corner itself. Which led to the skin thickening there, but things are still there.
And this girl was stabbing close to the corner upper lip, but somehow it felt like the needle was going through some kind of arc. I really liked the shape. Well, really not right away.
When I first saw myself in the mirror I was a little scared. I was even more scared when swelling appeared. I was already starting to think that this time I had finished the game after all. Moreover, the remaining swelling lasted for more than a week, and I was beginning to think that this was the final result. It looked like a real overkill. But now about three weeks have passed, and I’m 95 percent satisfied with the result. I leave a small percentage for the fact that the shape still needs to be corrected a little, but that’s not now.
Here is a collage of how my lips changed from the 1.5 and 2.5 syringes. In the middle photo you can see how the lips were still dry and crusty.
I’m already used to the filler in my lips, I don’t feel anything foreign. Simply fuller and denser lips, no lumps.
Result after 3 weeks from a 2.5 syringe.
I would also like to note the fact that lip augmentation cannot affect how the lips are colored, I see that in some places the asymmetry of the volume has been corrected, but this volume is flesh-colored, and in order for the lips to look perfect without lipstick, you will have to bother I’ll also get a tattoo, but I don’t think I’ll do that.
The other day I read an article by a cosmetologist about how you can extend the life of fillers. She advises taking the drug troxerutin. This is a venotonic drug. But in addition to the main effect, it affects the substance hyaluronidase, which promotes the excretion of hyaluronic acid.
I'm just retelling from what I remember, it may not be accurate. I decided to drink it, in any case, I work 11 hours on my feet, in the heat my legs get very tired and swell, if the drug helps maintain the effect of the fillers, I will be glad.
Overall, I was still satisfied, but not immediately. If I had known what kind of epic would be ahead of me, I most likely would not have decided to do it, but now I don’t regret it.
In conclusion, once again a photo of my changes in general.
In youth, when muscles and skin are elastic and elastic, you don’t have to worry about excessive expression of emotions. With age, all processes occurring in cells slow down, including the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Patients, especially women, often come to cosmetology clinics and offices with such an aesthetic problem as drooping corners of the lips, which give the face a dull and sometimes angry expression.
The main reasons for changes in facial contours and features are gravitational forces and age-related tissue changes, which manifest themselves in different ways for everyone, but mainly already in at a young age- from 25-30 years old. If it is impossible to influence gravity, then everyone can slow down the manifestation of age-related processes. What to do if the corners of your mouth are drooping?
The shape of the lips and their positioning depend mainly on several groups of facial muscles. You need to know the principle of their anatomy in order to correctly imagine how to raise the corners of your lips. In the thickness of the lips there are fibers of the circular muscle that border the oral cavity. It does not have bone fixation points, and therefore is especially mobile. Its function is to narrow the mouth gap and pull the lips forward in the form of a “tube”. Fibers from most other facial muscles, which form the buccal base.
In this regard, the tone and contractions of the orbicularis muscle are reflected in the others, the main of which are:
The structure of the muscles of the perioral region
How to correct an aesthetic defect? Understanding the anatomical principles is especially important in cases where gymnastics is performed for the drooping corners of the mouth. Mimic muscles of unidirectional action have a common resultant force. Gradually, the tone of one group prevails over the tone of the other and does not correspond to what is necessary.
Due to the uneven tone of individual muscle groups and impaired biomechanics of contractions, microcirculation deteriorates and blood redistribution occurs. This leads to even greater spasm of some muscle fibers and relaxation of others, as a result of which disturbances in the position and coloring of the lips and the formation of wrinkles develop and intensify.
This aesthetic defect can be adjusted in various ways. The main ones:
The procedures can be carried out separately, but it is advisable to combine them by performing a massage before starting the exercises. For greater effect in order to relax spasmodic muscles, increase the tone of relaxed muscles and improve blood circulation in them, it is necessary to take a steam bath for the face for 10 minutes or apply hot compress. 5 minutes before the massage, apply moisturizer or vegetable oil.
Using the pads of the thumbs, set perpendicular to the skin slightly above the corners of the lips, painless pressure is applied ( acupressure) for 3 – 7 seconds. You can also massage in a circular motion from the side surfaces of the mouth downwards - to the lower jaw (7 times).
Another massage exercise - with the middle and ring fingers of both hands, with light pressure, hold the tissue in the middle of the chin for 3 seconds, then, without releasing the pressure, slowly move your fingers around the lips and connect them in the center of the upper lip (7-10 times ). After the massage, a superficial warm-up is carried out, which consists of lightly closing the lips and opening them during a short exhalation, as when pronouncing the sound “p” (up to 5-10 times).
Exercises
An example of a set of such exercises:

With more pronounced changes, drooping corners of the mouth can be tightened using a cosmetic injection technique, for which they are used. The effect of the procedure lasts for 6 months. up to 1 year. For this purpose, the tissues in the problem area are slightly collected with two fingers to reveal a fold directed towards the lower jaw.
A hyaluronic acid filler is injected into it, into the area of several (2-3) horizontal lines perpendicular to the fold and directed from it to the center, as well as into the area of the arc connecting the upper and lower lips in the form of a bracket and passing through the corner. This injection technique is called the “Mona Lisa Smile.” Additionally, the drug is injected into the area of the nasolabial fold.
