How to enlarge lips: 15 ways to enlarge lips at home


To enlarge their lips, women pump them up with streptococcal synthesis products (hyaluronic acid fillers), insert implants, and cut out areas of soft tissue. All of these are extremely dangerous health games. For what? So that instead of your lips of a natural shape, which are part of your beauty and individuality, you get two shapeless “dumplings” - hardened, uneven, asymmetrical, blue with bruises, with ugly swelling and bumps? We will never understand this mania.

We make lips fuller and brighter without injections or plastic surgery. We maintain the natural shape, lift the corners of the mouth, fight age-related changes and purse-string wrinkles. Only safe and effective techniques that every woman can easily master.

Why do women enlarge their lips?

Lip augmentation occupies a firm position in the TOP 3 plastic surgeries. What explains the widespread desire of women to have “flatcakes” covering half their face?

There are many reasons, but the most common is fashion. A new standard of beauty. Young ladies think that with big lips they will look more seductive in the eyes of men. Accordingly, they will begin to feel more confident and will easily find a partner. But is this really so?

Indeed, full lips on an instinctive level send a signal to the stronger sex about the increased libido of their owners. But all this has one important “but”.

The beauty of the face is primarily determined by harmonious proportions. Leonardo da Vinci, with his golden ratio (the universal code for structural harmony), would have criticized to the nines the modern tendency to enlarge lips by 2-3 times without taking into account the proportions of other facial features.

Cute and harmonious faces turn into ugly parodies of people. Pouting and inverted lips, deprived of their natural attractive shape, awaken in a man not passion, but a desire to provide medical assistance to the lady, to give an antihistamine. Yes, it’s a joke, we’re exaggerating, but inflated lips really do look like an allergic reaction to an insect bite.

Psychologists say that a woman’s desire to enlarge her lips indicates her mental problems:

  • self-doubt, low self-esteem,
  • fear of aging, inability to accept oneself in one’s natural form and age,
  • worries due to lack of attention from men.

But lip pumping will not make a woman more confident and popular among men, nor will it prevent aging. If something like this appears at first, it will instantly disappear. Loving yourself requires deep inner work and natural transformation. And no new lips, breasts or wardrobe items can correct the complexes!

How much do you weigh

What to do? It’s time to shout, if so by analogy with the nautical theme, “SOS! SOS! Help!" First of all, the word “Help!”, I believe, should again come from prevention. The most important thing, and I'm not saying it's the most important thing, but the main thing, for example, for me, is please keep your weight under control. The first thing girls who are 20 years old should do is buy themselves a bathroom scale. It is very important! Many patients say: “No, I won’t buy scales. I don’t want to look at them, because what I see there doesn’t make me happy.” But why live according to the ostrich principle? There is no need to live by this principle. Buy yourself a scale when you are 20 years old, and let these scales travel with you to all cities, countries and around the world. But you must clearly know how much you weigh in the morning and how much you weigh in the evening in order to take some coordinating measures. So, nothing spoils the oval of the face more than excess fat in the area of ​​this oval of the face. To prevent fat from slipping away and an unattractive chin quickly, buy yourself a scale and weigh yourself every day so that your weight remains fairly stable throughout your life.

Should I enlarge my lips permanently?

You've probably heard about rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty - surgical correction of the nose and eyelids, respectively? These operations are on hearing. But there is also cheiloplasty. Her “victim” is her lips.

Cheiloplasty is less popular, since most often lips are enlarged using injections. But plastic surgeons are actively promoting their “bread”. Their arguments: unlike fillers, lip plastic surgery provides lifelong results, and the effect is predicted more accurately.

Yes, these are not injections, plastic surgery changes your appearance forever. If you don't like the result, it won't be possible to fix it. Well, or go under the knife again.

To do or not to do?

There are cases when people with congenital or acquired lip defects resort to surgical intervention. And we cannot give any recommendations here. If an ugly curvature that interferes with life can only be corrected by surgeons, so be it.

But going under the knife to enlarge your lips, which will also ruin your natural facial harmony, is beyond reason.

Plastic surgery is a traumatic and dangerous procedure. The skin is cut, removed, sutured, soft tissues are damaged, and sometimes foreign materials are implanted. Complications may occur both during surgery and during the healing process. What then? Lips are a very delicate organ, the skin is the thinnest. The slightest scratch, crack, even basic dryness is a gateway to infection, which can lead to serious complications.

5th place. Lipofilling

You can make your lips plumper without using foreign materials at all. Sometimes the filler is the client's fat tissue, which is taken from the thighs, buttocks or lower abdominal crease. The resulting fat is cleaned and injected into the lips under general anesthesia.

Among the indications for lipofilling are asymmetrical, excessively thin or insufficiently full lips, and their drooping corners. Patients of cosmetologists who have become prettier are most often satisfied with the result of the procedure.

Lipofilling has undoubted advantages: lips look natural, harmonious and do not require special care, and the material will definitely not cause allergies or be rejected. After the injection of fat, there is no long-term swelling effect, and the result will delight you for a lifetime, since the transplanted cells take root forever. After 7-16 days you will already forget about visible swelling.

Are there any disadvantages to such a procedure? Unfortunately yes. If you don’t like the result, it will be difficult to eliminate it, because you will need to break down the adipose tissue with the help of special preparations. Therefore, doctors advise first correcting the lips with hyaluronic acid and only then choosing lipofilling.

Cost: from 15 to 40 thousand rubles.

Lip augmentation surgery

What types of lip augmentation surgeries exist?

The first is implants. Yes, they are inserted not only into the chest or butt, but also into the lips. There are options made from organic materials (from the patient’s own tissues or from donor tissues of other people or animals), but the ones in use are mainly silicone or polytetrafluoroethylene.

Lips become unnatural, “sculpted”, and harden. Often the implant “does not stand up”, sticks out, and is felt when touched. Ugly irregularities form. The body can simply reject the artificial material.

Implants are not the only surgical method for lip augmentation. There are many other operations. All of them are associated with tissue injury and high risks of complications.

Some of them are universal, correcting both the upper and lower lips. And some types are designed to enlarge only the upper lip.

Lips: Malocclusion

• Working with lips in case of malocclusion . This is a separate topic, since ideally an orthodontist also needs to be involved in the process. The ideal option is to first work with the bite (braces, or other treatment options prescribed by the dentist). But, there are situations when you need to solve the problem only with filler.

Solution

Working with lips in case of malocclusion may consist of injecting the drug only into the lips (when the chin is of sufficient or excess volume), or maybe with a certain structure of the facial skeleton and enlarging the chin area with filler (micrognathia).
Danger:

There is always an option when the doctor does not talk to the patient about the need to correct the chin area (or simply does not see this need), or in order to save money on the part of the patient. Then an incomplete correction will be carried out. In both cases, the result “on the lips” will be pleasing, but in general there is a high chance that the face will look inharmonious, because the small chin will become even smaller against the backdrop of the lips that have gained in volume.

Pros:

In most cases, the face can be made more harmonious and prettier. Let's just say, closer to beauty standards, but without losing individuality, and in some cases even without the help of a dentist.

How to enlarge your upper lip

Special surgical methods for augmenting only the upper lip are Bulhorn operations and thread suspensions. They are based on the general principle: raise the upper lip so that there is more visible red border. But this is achieved in different ways:

  • Operation Bullhorn.
    Part of the skin at the base of the nose is cut off, which reduces the distance between it and the upper lip. A cut piece of skin resembles the horns of a bull. Hence the name Bullhorn, bull horn - bull horn from English.
  • Thread pendants.
    Two incisions are made inside the nose. A thread is pulled through each of them, pulled through the soft tissue to the lip, brought out through the hole in the lip and, forming a loop, returned to the incision in the nose. Again, associations with a bull, namely, with his nose ring, only here there are two of them, and they pass inside the tissues.

7th place. Surgical method

Some defects can only be corrected through plastic surgery. This is asymmetry, consequences of injury, drooping lower lip. Of all the methods we have chosen, this is the most dangerous. Despite this, they are used not only for medical reasons - they are also placed on the surgical table in order to simply make the lips bigger.

There are several methods:

1. Bullhorn . The essence of the operation is to reduce the distance from the upper lip to the base of the nose. To do this, a small piece of skin is excised, the edges of the incision are stitched, the upper lip is turned out a little, becoming wider and more seductive. An incision is made either along the edge of the lip or under the nose.

2. YV technique . The surgeon removes several V-shaped sections of skin under the upper lip, which are then stitched together in a Y shape. As a result, the lip is pushed forward - the volume is visually increased.

3. Parisian technique . This is an improved YV technique. The surgeon makes not only horizontal, but also vertical incisions in the lip cavity. After the operation, the lips become expressive and look natural.

It is worth emphasizing that all of the above operations require specialist consultation. They are done under both local and general anesthesia. After surgery, rehabilitation takes from 7 days to 2 months.

Cost: from 50 to 100 thousand rubles.

How to enlarge your lower lip

Universal surgical methods that correct both the upper and lower lips include:

  • VY-plasty. On the mucous membrane, incisions are made in the shape of the letters V, which after suturing take on a Y shape. The moist area of ​​the lips is everted, which gives volume. The effect depends on the number of cuts and their location.
  • Kesselring's operation. The skin strips directly above the border of the lips are removed, and the edges of the wound are sutured. Effect: turned out mucous membrane and scars.
  • Lipofilling of lips. The patient's own fat material is taken from the abdomen or thighs and injected into the lips. Despite the fact that this is our own fat, it looks “alien” on the lips: they lose their natural softness and aesthetics.

Bullhorn varieties

The bullhorn operation is not always performed according to the same scenario. It has several modifications.

1. For example, there is the so-called internal, or VY bullhorn , when during the operation additional hidden incisions are made in the upper lip from the mucosal side.

The surgeon performs 2 incisions of the upper lip in the shape of a V followed by suturing in a Y shape. This method allows you to enhance the effect of plump lips and get a very natural result.

2. There is also an " Italian bullhorn ". In this case, the incision is not made in one continuous line, but consists of two small incisions to the right and left of the columella.

The advantages of this option include the fact that the scar under the nose after such a procedure is practically invisible. The downside is that this method will not lift the upper lip significantly.

Enlarge lips with hyaluronic acid

The most popular invasive method of lip augmentation is filler injections. And here fillers based on hyaluronic acid hold the lead.

How does the procedure work? The lips are injected with the drug along the contour. This is done under local anesthesia, but it is still very painful and must be endured for 30-60 minutes. Some women who once pumped their lips with hyaluronic acid do not want to repeat it again, claiming that it is more painful than even childbirth.

Bruises, hematomas and severe swelling that last 1-2 weeks are considered normal after such a procedure. For some it’s a month. It is believed that the drug finally “gets up” after 2-3 weeks. The effect lasts on average six months.

Often the patient does not like the way the dumplings were made for her. Then she is advised to strongly knead her lips until it hurts, or they are injected with special drugs that absorb hyaluronic acid. Longidazu.

All cosmetologists say the same thing: hyaluronic fillers are safe. Do not believe! Better listen to the scientifically based opinion of doctors: fillers often cause health problems, and in the long term.

What are the dangers of hyaluronic acid fillers?

  • Hyaluronic acid is synthesized by streptococcal bacteria. And no matter how thorough the purification of the drug is, the genetic material of bacteria will still remain in it. This may not affect your health immediately, but after three or even ten years. This is how many years can pass before the gel becomes inflamed and a streptococcal infection causes some characteristic disease: pneumonia, bronchitis, sore throat, meningitis, pharyngitis, scarlet fever, etc. People prone to ENT diseases are especially at risk of getting this complication.
  • Fillers contain chemical agents that give the active substance the required consistency. "Stitches." But their effect on the body has not been studied. No one knows how they act on humans, whether they cause harm, are eliminated or not.
  • In the short term, complications arise, including dysfunction of breathing, speech, and eating. Hard formations appear in the thickness of the lips that cannot be removed naturally, and such women become patients of surgeons.

Another lie spread by cosmetologists: filler is completely removed from the body after 6-12 months. Not displayed. Particles of hyaluronic acid can live in tissues for years. Some provoking factor (infection, inflammation) will arise, and the remaining gel will become inflamed. It won’t even occur to you that this is all because of the “innocent” experiments with your lips that you did 5-7-10 years ago.

And we are not even talking about the fact that low-quality drugs are often introduced and drug administration technologies are violated.

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

  1. perioral wrinkles
  2. smoothness of the filtrum
  3. loss of definition and smoothness of the cupid's bow and lip edge
  4. blurred border between skin and mucous membrane
  5. increase in the length of the upper lip relative and absolute
  6. convex upper lip profile
  7. drooping corners of the lips
  8. formation of marionette folds
  9. change in mucous color, appearance of hemangiomas
  10. sagging of the lower lip in the center, decreased tone
  11. deepening of the labiomental groove
  12. drooping chin
  13. atrophy of the submucosal layer and reduction in lip volume
  14. 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.

Reviews

Women who have had their lips enlarged using plastic surgery or fillers are often dissatisfied with the results.

We read reviews from those who have used the most popular service - hyaluronic acid filler injections.

Women are often horrified by the appearance of their new lips.

The shape disappears, the lips blur and look unnatural. Asymmetry and unevenness often appear. It becomes comical and the profile is disfigured: the lips turn out, especially the upper lip, which is pulled up, suffers. You probably know about “ducky” lips yourself - they have filled this world, it’s impossible not to notice them.

The drug is absorbed unevenly, and the famous hard balls appear in the lips. Lumps, nodules. Often, gel particles migrate beyond the target: as a rule, the area between the upper lip and nose swells.

It becomes uncomfortable to live with new lips. They lose sensitivity and harden. It’s uncomfortable to eat and smile.

A common complication is terrible dryness. For some, the lips become so wide that they crack, bleed, and become covered with a yellow crust.

A secondary infection may occur. Many people write about the occurrence of herpes.

In general, do you want the truth? Read reviews, not cosmetologist websites.

Botulinum therapy

Botulinum therapy for muscle tightening, various types of contouring. But with contour plastic fillers, if we fill, say, the corners of the jaw, correct the chin, thereby we visually stretch the oval of the face and bring it into the state of, say, a youthful face. This is very good; if we add volume to the cheekbones, to the corners of the lower jaw and to the chin, we seem to stretch and elongate the oval, giving it a more youthful appearance. But for this correction you need to understand that quite large volumes of fillers are also required.

How to enlarge lips using a vacuum

There are also plumpers - have you heard of them? Vacuum lip suction cups. Inexpensive fetish from China for achieving a “miracle” at home. The plumper is sucked to the lips and left for several minutes. Indeed, the lips turn out and become larger. For some, the effect lasts for 10-15 minutes, for others for an hour.

Don't even try! It turns out ugly, but that’s not the main point. The action of plumpers is based on disruption of blood flow and damage to blood vessels. What does this mean? Swelling and hematomas appear. The condition of the skin worsens: it loses elasticity and turgor, becomes dry, and flakes. And the first signs of negative changes are felt immediately. Many people say that about an hour after the procedure, when its effect ends, the lips become less elastic.

And cosmetologists recommend using plumpers 4-5 times a day for a whole month. Real self-torture.

We are categorically against it! Impaired microcirculation is the root of the problem of skin and soft tissue aging. On the contrary, we fight it in beauty marathons.

But a vacuum can be useful if used correctly. Instead of the destructive “vacuum cleaner effect,” do a gentle vacuum massage with glass jars according to the correct pattern. It will improve microcirculation and nourish tissue. Lips will become plump and bright.

Apply liquid oil to your lips and run the jar over them - 5 times back and forth on each lip. Do not need anymore. The technique is shown in the video:

For vacuum massage you can use Beauty365 glass jars. They can be purchased in the online store www.beauty365.ru

We have sorted out plastic surgery, fillers, and plumpers in general terms. There are also salon techniques with short-term effects: biorevitalization, plasma therapy. The lips become moisturized and slightly enlarged, but after a couple of weeks not a trace remains of this. It's not even worth contacting.

What to do? We have already talked about one technique - gentle vacuum massage. Did you like the idea? In fact, even better! Try it!

We share other secrets of lip augmentation at home. For a long time and without harm to health.

3rd place. Electroporation

This is a physiotherapeutic procedure and a relatively new technique. First, the client undergoes a light lip peel using ultrasound therapy. Then, under the influence of a special device, hyaluronic acid and vitamins are introduced. Electric pulse waves open micropores and thereby allow the cells to be saturated with valuable substances. After the device has finished operating, these channels are immediately closed.

The manipulations are painless and safe: there is no need to make injections, incisions, or undergo anesthesia; the risk of infections is minimized. The result is noticeable immediately, and the effect lasts from 3 months to a year. All this time, the skin remains elastic and beautiful. But to get voluminous and juicy lips, be patient: it will take 4-12 sessions.

Electroporation is most often required for girls after 25 years of age. Starting at this age, collagen production decreases, and lips can no longer boast of firmness and elasticity.

Cost: from 6 to 10 thousand rubles.

How to make your lips look bigger with makeup

The easiest way to add volume to your lips is with decorative cosmetics.

Every lady knows that makeup is a purely individual matter. You need to try everything on yourself, experiment, look for what suits you and what doesn’t. It didn’t work out twenty times, but on the 21st I found the perfect trick for life.

The same goes for lip makeup. We try until we find the right one. Advice: we adjust not only the size of the lips, but also the shape, because sometimes a slight change in the outline of the lips makes them more expressive and voluminous.

What tricks you can try for yourself:

  • Try to blur the natural contour of your lips at the beginning of your makeup, so that later you can draw on them the way you want. Apply foundation to your lips, and then highlight your lip line using concealer, highlighter (without glitter) or white eyeshadow. And then pencil, lipstick, gloss come into play.
  • You need to find an approach to lip pencil. A clearly drawn contour that is darker than your lips can, on the contrary, hide volume. Intentionally going beyond boundaries generally looks comical. But a pencil that matches your lips is a good solution! They can be used to draw the outline a little wider in places where you want to add volume.
  • Try to draw the “Cupid’s bow” in different ways - the tick on the border of the upper lip with the skin. So that it is deeper or, conversely, diverges wider in different directions. Don't forget to blend. And highlight the area above the check mark with a highlighter.
  • Draw well and darken the corners of your lips - for some reason, sometimes they don’t get enough makeup, and this affects the image. On the contrary, make the central part of the lips lighter and add shine.

Anatomical, physiological reasons

First of all, we need to figure out why our oval suddenly decided to float? It’s not just like that, so he stood there and suddenly decided to swim? What is this connected with? There are anatomical and physiological reasons for this. And no one is safe from the drift of our collapse, neither men, nor women, no one. He will still decide to swim away from us one day.

So that's why our oval decides to float away from us? First of all, let’s look at it a little bit: the elasticity of the skin itself is lost, and secondly, fat in some places begins to decrease. Let's say the angle of the lower jaw, chin, cheeks and apples - here the fat decreases a little, but in other places it remains the same. Yes, indeed, fat in the face decreases with age in some places, in some places it remains motionless, let’s say, like our paint bag - like a stick of butter in a package. And then the movement of this fat begins, especially in the middle zone, it slowly, slowly flows down, just like an avalanche flows down. It’s really like snow from an avalanche, this fat flows down and falls into the so-called ridges. This is deflated fat from the face.

Enlarge your lips with gloss or lipstick

With the choice of lipstick color or gloss, everything is individual. It is generally accepted that for the effect of voluminous lips it is better to use light shades. But bright red can also work. Dark colors - burgundy, wine, plum, black - will not add volume.

We will not recommend a specific type of product. Now, perhaps, every lipstick or gloss “enlarges the lips” - marketers are not asleep. There is no need to delude yourself especially on this score. Although there is a category of products that contain irritating components. Your lips will tingle for a few minutes, they will seem a little more voluminous, but the illusion will quickly pass.

The way you apply lipstick or gloss matters. For example, you can get used to putting on makeup as if you were doing it casually: you patted lipstick on your lips, rubbed them together, and removed the excess along the contour. The result was the effect of kissed lips. For many women, this option suits them best: the lips look fuller than with a drawn contour.

What an adequate doctor will not do

Lera: Did your girlfriends come and ask you to break the milliliter in half?

Natalya: Of course, they came, but I never did that. Because there is a microcosm, different viruses and, perhaps, some unstudied particles that I can transplant from friend to friend. Or yesterday a patient wrote to me: “Hello, Natalya Alexandrovna. I made an appointment with you, bought the drug myself, and will bring it to you. Will you inject me? An adequate doctor will not do such things either. After all, the brought drugs of unknown origin may turn out to be fake, and this is fraught.

How to enlarge lips at home

We washed off the makeup and the lips were back to their natural size. How to increase them without injections and plastic surgery?

Using self-massage and lip gymnastics. We blow, we knead, we pull, we stretch. This is how we address the cause of loss of volume and shape in the lips, fill them with life, and lift the corners.

Why is self-massage and lip gymnastics the most effective and safe way to enlarge them?

The shape of the lips is maintained by the work of the surrounding muscles. The main muscle influencing their volume is the orbicularis oris muscle. With age, it loses its healthy tone, pinches and curls inward, as if “pulling” the lips behind it.

The volume of muscle tissue and subcutaneous fat is also important. It subsides over time, and the lips become smaller in length and width.

With the help of self-massage and gymnastics, we relax the orbicularis oris muscle and restore life to the tissue by improving microcirculation. The lips become plump, filled with color, and their corners rise.

Don't be surprised if the creases around the mouth and nasolabial lips become less pronounced. Their formation is also often caused by tightness of the orbicularis oris muscle, which is connected to many other facial muscles.

First, learn two of our favorite exercises - very simple ones. Do them daily. Each time your lips will give in and open better.

Watch the video and repeat in front of the mirror:

  1. We tighten our lips into a “chicken butt” and blow. Repeat 3-5 times.
  2. We grab our lips with our hands, knead them and pull them back.

Loss of bone structures

The next mechanism for the formation of this floating oval is, of course, loss of muscle elasticity. The next problem is loss of bone structure. You know that the bones of our facial skeleton not only become thinner with age, they also decrease in size. If, say, the body of the lower jaw at a young age is approximately like this, then already at an older age, more than 50, it is already decreasing. Accordingly, all this skin no longer rests on our powerful bone base and also contributes to the already swollen oval.

How quickly can you enlarge your lips?

Do you want plump lips for a long time? To achieve a lasting result, you need a set of exercises designed to relax the facial muscles and rejuvenate it. The best techniques are collected in our legendary “Basic Marathon”. It lasts only three weeks. We will consolidate the results for another two weeks. Tested by hundreds of thousands of women.

The human body is a complex device in which everything is interconnected. We start by straightening the back, relaxing the muscles of the shoulder and cervical regions and move on to targeted work on different areas of the face. We knead and nourish our lips on the solid foundation of a rejuvenated body.

What to do if it is quite young?

What should you do if the oval has already floated a little, if you are quite young and you do not have excess fat, you are in excellent athletic shape, but the oval has floated because there are anatomical and physiological reasons for this? It can be solved, believe me, very easily. There is a whole arsenal of tools for this. We can increase the volume of the cheekbones , then the oval will be tightened in the cheekbone area. We can do a procedure called reinforcement , reinforce the entire face, like at a construction site, and the face will be supported by this reinforcement, it will be taut. We can supply threads, after all, we can apply a whole arsenal of hardware techniques. That is, all these methods are good when the oval has floated.

Mistake 2. Results are too quick - don’t rush to beautiful lips

In many cases, patience is required to obtain the desired results. Using 2.3 or even 4 ml of hyaluronic acid in one visit can lead to serious consequences. The skin needs time to stretch. Therefore, a competent doctor plans such a metamorphosis in several stages. This way you can create a natural effect even with large changes in size.

It’s equally important to take the time to mentally prepare for your new look. Very often, it is the intermediate size that turns out to be suitable for achieving the dream effect. Full and sensual lips look better than heavily pouted ones. Moreover, others react much better to less noticeable and subtle changes.

About the golden age of cosmetology

Stasya: If you look at the history of the development of this niche of cosmetology, can we say that we are now in the golden age of all these drugs or solvents for them?

Natalya: According to older colleagues, more injections were made into the lips from 2000 to 2010. Now other correction options are in fashion: lower jaw, cheekbones, temples, infraorbital area, Jolie angles. That is, more complex. Therefore, lips give way to other rejuvenation techniques. If in 2003 there were lips, nasolabials and Botox in huge quantities, now there are much more techniques. For all this there are different drugs, different methods.

Stasya: It happens that I pinned my lips and the whole face also demanded: in contrast, the nasolabium became visible, or, on the contrary, does an increase in volume in the lips correct the proportions?

Natalya: If the skin is in good condition, namely its quality, then a small moderate increase in the volume of the lips rejuvenates the face and does not emphasize anything. If the skin already shows significant signs of aging, and suddenly straightened, dense, bright pink lips appear on this face, then it looks strange. It’s better to start working with the rest of the face and, for example, for the finely wrinkled type of aging, I choose products that are very soft and thin. Not even those recommended for lips, but those designed to correct fine wrinkles so that everything looks as natural as possible.

What are fashionable lips?

Stasya: How do you feel about the lip trend? I understand, of course, that it’s good. But what are the positive aspects of this cosmetology niche?

Natalya: In 2021, a study was conducted at the University of California. There, men were shown photographs of the same girl with photoshopped lips: natural size, slightly smaller than her size, and slightly larger. The men filled out a questionnaire asking which face was more beautiful. It turned out that they prefer girls whose lips are enlarged to one and a half times their natural size, while the lower lip, in my opinion, is twice as thick as the upper. That is, this is physiognomically assessed as sexier lips, although the opposite request is now in fashion: everyone wants a bigger upper lip.

Stasya: My inner feminist sight wavered.

Natalya: In general, cosmetology makes this scope tremble. The main thing is that everything is as desired.

Stasya: I'm interested in the fashion aspect. Now he’s talking about the upper lip, right, is it slightly upturned?

Natalya: Yes, such flat bow lips are in fashion, which everyone strives for.

How often do complications occur after injection?

Lera: There is no one hundred percent guarantee that even a proven drug will not cause a reaction in a person?

Natalya: Of course. This is medicine, so there is always a percentage of complications, even if everything is done perfectly correctly and a great drug is used.

Stasya: What is the percentage of complications?

Natalya: Small. If the filler is not suitable, if an allergic reaction has started to it, we carry out correction with hyaluronidase - it dissolves it. But an allergic reaction can also occur to the latter, although it is also not very common.

Daily care

Enlarged lips with filler will look beautiful for a long time if they are properly cared for. For example, it is important to choose and use a high-quality cream with a good composition, drink enough liquid, and avoid solariums and intense sunbathing.

Unfortunately, many patients instead use lipsticks and lip glosses with questionable composition. Smoking is also very harmful, as it creates risks of developing diseases of the lungs and esophagus and negatively affects the condition of the skin.

Armed with this knowledge, it will be easier for you to make the right decisions that will allow you to enjoy beautifully shaped lips.
