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,

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

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
