Lip Augmentation

Details

Due to aging, the volume of the lips decreases, and their appearance becomes thinner and flatter. Wrinkles and fine lines change their smooth appearance and their outlines are less defined, especially at the upper lip level. Young women can also need a miracle touch without waiting for the effects of aging to have lips that are fuller, well-shaped and suitable for applying lipstick.

Lip augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure for plumping thin lips. It is a fact that people whose lips are full and shaped look younger. Lip augmentation procedures can be done with surgical implants or fat transfers, as well as - more often - by injections of dermal fillers. Lip augmentation with dermal fillers has been popular for years, but recently it has become fashionable and with the increase in demand there has been a real boom in applications.

In short, lip augmentation may be your number one need if you want to have more contoured, fuller lips to make your smile more attractive, to look good in photos, 

Who Is This For?

• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should wait for awhile
• Individuals who have a history of severe allergies should not have this treatment

• Masking of minor faults
• Stimulation of self-rejuvenation processes

2.       Planning Your Trip and Choosing the Clinic

This is the stage where you choose one of the clinics and surgeons we offer you depending on your needs and expectations and once you decided we arrange the date and trip plan that suits you upon your preferred clinic/surgeon.

3.       Final Consultation with Your Surgeon

When you arrive at the clinic, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your Lip Augmentation surgeon. Everything about your surgery will be discussed between you and your surgeon during this consultation. The surgeon will ask you some questions to try to understand your expectations and goals better and also make you understand what you should expect from your treatment and the potential risks or complications of the procedure. You will also decide together the individualized surgical and recovery plan that can be followed after the surgery. The surgeon will explain the whole process clearly and try to simulate it as much as possible, in order you to feel comfortable and well-prepared. 

4.       Medical Examinations

Before the surgery begins, your surgeon will conduct physical and blood tests to make sure that you are in acceptable health status for the lip augmentation procedure. Every patient is required to undergo medical tests to ensure that nothing can hinder the success of the surgery and if any risk obtained, surgeons aim to eliminate them first.

5.       Procedure

The last step is to attend the injections session to have a well-shaped and augmented lips as you desire with the help of experienced and successful health providers.

The method is based on the introduction of a special load of hyaluronic acid along the outline and the pink part of the lips. This substance is a polysaccharide which is actively produced by the human body. This is why the risk of complications in the form of adverse reactions is minimal.

The whole process takes about half an hour and looks like this:

• During the consultation with a specialist, the type of preparation and the volume of future manipulations are determined.
• An anesthetic cream is applied to the treated area or an anesthetic injection is made in the gums.
• Hyaluronic acid injections are carried out along the lip contour, for a uniform distribution of the load, the injection sites are stretched with the fingers.
• To create a volume of anti-aging drug is injected into the pink part of the lips, at the end of the procedure, the doctor should do a massage.
•  If necessary, a week or two of correction is made by the additional introduction of hyaluronic acid.

What Should I Expect from Lip Augmentation?

The most common problem after the lip augmentation procedure is swelling. It is a completely natural reaction of the body due to the entry of foreign substances from the outside and the reason is the accumulation of water in the tissues that are interfered with. The following conditions affect the duration of the swelling:

• Type of drug used
• Compliance with antiseptic standards
•  Patient-specific characteristics

In most cases, twelve hours after the procedure there is a slight swelling and it may increase and then subside in 2-3 days.

If the lips continue to swell, there is pain, itching, general worsening, it may be a manifestation of an allergy or an inflammatory reaction. It is necessary to consult a doctor immediately, as the situation can always be corrected without any particular difficulties.

Another problem is the hematoma. They are the result of tissue damage. Bruising occurs due to the violation of the integrity of the blood vessels, as well as when the injected substance is compressed. They can stay for about a week, the bruise will go away completely with the swelling.

Although dermal fillers make your lips look the way you desire, it should not be forgotten that it is not a permanent solution. Most fillers last between six to ten months and may be repeated as its effect passes.

Things You Should Consider After Lip Augmentation

There are situations where a few days should be avoided after lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid:

• Do not apply lipstick for two or three days
• Stay away from solarium, sauna, pool and a hot bath for the first week after the procedure (or during your doctor's recommended period)
• Doctors also recommend avoiding kissing, not drinking hot stuff, not eating hot food, and not smoking a few days after injections.

  From start to finish my experience with Flymedi was exceptional. The coordinator, Abud worked hard at finding the right surgeon for me. He was constantly in contact while I was away to ensure everything went smoothly. I honestly could not be happier with the company. Dr Ozge has done an exceptional job too. Thank you Abud for making me feel confident again!

  Hi, I just recently had surgery and before I could decide the best safest choice for me. I googled a lot! Came across Flymedi and they made the overseas surgery bookings including hotel so much easier. My health consultant is very kind and sweet and still after the surgery, she still checks up on me. I am very satisfied with the results of the surgery and the clinic that they chose! This is mainly for those like me who want to have a certain surgery done that perhaps don't exist in the country you reside in. Flymedi helped me with finding a fit clinic, booked hotel and driver to pick me up and also drop me off to all the destinations such as the Airport. I had this surgery in late November 2019 in Istanbul, I highly recommend Flymedi to anyone who wants to be safe, satisfied and happy! Thank You to Fatima at Flymedi for all her help and Big Thank You to Flymedi for existing! You've definitely made this surgery and journey for me much more easy and comfortable!

  I highly recommended flymedi.com. Mustafa was good assistance all the way through. From airport, hotel, and hospital. The surgeon who conduct the operation did a great job. I was hesitant at first and was scared what would be the result but waking up after the surgery I was surprised by his professionalism. As well as Mustafa was being present every time I needed him out anytime I could contacted him. He never fails. Thanks to Y'ALL guys.
