Lip dumpling: revelations from plastic surgeons

“The scariest appearance of ‘terribly beautiful’ lips is not because the patient came and asked for such a wow effect. Rather, it is a consequence of ‘cosmetic tourism’. When a client has imagined a certain result in her imagination, but after the procedure she did not get what she expected, she goes to see another specialist in the hope that he will fix it, he will do it as she had planned. After the refusal of good specialists from trusted clinics, the girl is looking for someone who will agree to do what she finds beautiful for money – and she finds him. Such “doctors” follow the example of the patient and inject more and more doses of hyaluronic acid… There are a lot of offers on social networks “lips for… rubles” – it’s just scary to imagine at what risk a woman who dares such an experiment exposes herself to: from allergic shock reactions to infection by blood-borne infections.

However, there are many medical errors associated with the irrational use of materials. For example, when a client has anatomically narrow and incomplete lips, and she certainly aspires to an Angelina Jolie shape. It is clear that the drug will simply have nowhere to fit, moreover, it can get into the muscle and you will get “duck” lips. Or, alternatively, an excessively large dose can “saturate” the entire area of ​​​​the nasolabial triangle, which visually turns a woman into a monkey. I often have to deal with such consequences.

Of course, one should not forget about the violation of the protocol of the procedure or insufficient knowledge of the technique. Here, the consequences are much worse. For example, with cannula technology, an incorrectly injected drug can end up in the cheeks and not in the lips.

First of all, before giving an injection, the doctor should talk about the drug and offer a solution for correcting the shape of your lips.

Second, to warn that the result will last 6-18 months. It depends on the quality of the drug, the density and the characteristics of the patient’s tissues.

Third, the doctor should refuse if you request (at least for verification purposes) lips, “like (write the name of any sexy celebrity)”. Your lips belong only to you, it is simply impossible to “adapt” their shape to the sample. But disfigure – easily. 11 stars who failed plastic surgery.

Fourth, after the procedure, the doctor should give you a form with information (what is entered, in what quantity, at what times, what are the other recommendations, the series of the drug, information about the administration, etc. ).

There are not many contraindications, but they are:

and others, which are indicated in the instructions for the drug used.

But where does this desire to inflate the lips, to change the face, come from?

“The reason for the manic desire to change one’s appearance cardinally should be sought in early childhood and adolescence: self-doubt, low self-esteem, rejection of one’s own body, and desire to look like someone the one is not really, force women to resort to the services of plastic surgeons.As a rule, behind the numerous reconstructions of the outward appearance, there is nothing but the absence of any interest and an intellect limited, a kind of spiritual void.

According to statistics, of all parts of the body, the lips are most often corrected with the help of modern means of aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery. This is not just a matter of fashion: swollen and sensual female lips are subconsciously perceived by representatives of the stronger sex as a kind of indicator of the sexuality of their owner. Lip augmentation to unrealistic sizes is one way to get attention.

Plastic surgery can dramatically change a person’s fate, both positively and negatively. Gaining self-confidence and increasing self-esteem creates an aura of calm and harmony around a woman. If the result of lip plastic surgery does not satisfy the woman, there is no need to wait for the positive result. The idea of ​​perfecting one’s appearance can captivate a woman so much that she will not be limited to just one operation, which can lead to serious mental illness, characterized by constant dissatisfaction with one’s own appearance. One can only guess what awaits him further along this path.
