In this context, Dr. Smarrito performs injections during consultations, either alone or in conjunction with a surgical procedure. Thus, often after rhinoplasty, lip injections can be performed. Rhinoplasty can also be replaced by a hyaluronic acid injection combined with lip injections, thereby achieving a truly enhanced appearance. medical rhinoplastyThe whole then forms a profiloplasty.

Why use hyaluronic acid?

   Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body. This molecule, now synthesized, has been injected millions of times. Very few side effects have been reported.This product is absorbable but not rejected by the body. However, after a certain time, the injection must be repeated because the hyaluronidase enzyme naturally present in the body will absorb it.

Hyaluronic acid is the reference product in Europe for facial injections.

      Depending on the desired goal, the density, the elasticity and the viscosity The type of hyaluronic acid chosen will determine the desired result. For example, to hydrate a lip, a very fluid, skinbooster-type product will be used, while to create a plump lip volume, a denser, more cross-linked product will be necessary.

There are many brands and products on the market dedicated exclusively to the lips, such as the restylane, the Juvéderm or the Lip Styling developed by the laboratory Vivacy.

Doctor Smarrito Dr. [Name], a recognized expert on the subject, can advise you on the best molecule. Smarrito has performed numerous surgical and injection demonstrations around the world, particularly on the subject of lips and medical rhinoplasty.

How is hyaluronic acid injection for the lips performed?

         Thanks to the application of an anesthetic ointment, the injection is painless. The injection is performed during in-office consultations and generally lasts about twenty minutes. All necessary comfort is ensured during the session. It should be noted that after the session, slight swelling will occur and will last 24 to 48 hours. This results in an initial overcorrection effect.

How long does lip injection last?

         The effects last from 4 months to 1 year, depending on the patient. A patient who smokes will not be able to maintain the product's effects for as long; the product's duration also depends on the action of the enzyme in the body that naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid. We have a program in place to stabilize the results for up to a year at a lower cost.

What results can be expected for the lips?

      As you can see in the demonstration videos, we focus more on maintain harmony at the level of the lipThe upper lip should be slightly lower than the lower lip. A fuller appearance is achieved, but the lip contour is also precisely defined.

The technique is precise and performed to perfect the result. It is also suitable for injections in these areas, including for profiloplasty where the injection is performed on the nose, A thorough knowledge of anatomy is essential to avoid vascular risks.In this context, it's essential to entrust the task of lip, nose, or under-eye area augmentation to an experienced injector. Together, we can perfectly define the final result. We ask our patients to bring photos illustrating their desired lip style. This allows us to tailor the technique and the amount of product used to the patient's wishes.

On the other hand, we reject the over-the-top, unsightly corrections so popular in some Anglo-Saxon countries, which we consider an excessive and aesthetically displeasing practice. Sexy lips, yes; enhanced lips, yes; but certainly not monstrous ones.
