Lips, what is the trend this season?
While Kylie Jenner abandons the fillers, our celebrities bet on volume
Latinas go for full, prominent, sensual and full lips. Shakira's mouth has been the last to attract attention in her instagram photos of her. Her fans and her press speculate if the Colombian singer wanted to follow the fashion started in 2015 by Kylie Jenner.
The gorgeous Sara Carbonero and Pilar Rubio boast of sensual lips, especially on the upper part, which shows a more flattering fleshy, in a natural line, less obvious than that of the North American influencer.
They do it precisely when the youngest of the Kardashian clan has decided to remove the filling from her lips, to which she has dedicated hours and hours of aesthetics, makeup and cosmetics on instagram, YouTube and television, and that have made her a billionaire.
Everything she does, shows, says, hints at the Jenner or one of her sisters becomes beauty dogma, so it remains to be seen which trend will become global fashion in the coming months. The one to put on or take off.
No to global solutions
Because yes, it is true, in aesthetic clinics treatments are requested to look like fashion influencers.
In this case, he explains in Dr. Peláez, from Clínicas Dorsia, in his consultation some patients name Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson or Sara Carbonero, in reference to voluptuousness. However, he specifies, these references should be taken only as a guide in terms of taste, since each patient needs a diagnostic evaluation and personalized treatment.
Thus, the specialist must perform an aesthetic analysis based on the study of proportions and expression lines in order to achieve balance and harmony. For this, five factors that influence the interpretation and success of the results achieved in any facial treatment are taken into account: age, race, sex, body habit and personality of the individual.
From there, two general objects to achieve: full, symmetrical lips with a healthy coloration and a more voluminous lower lip, as found in the youthful mouth. It is, again, a matter of the passage of time. The Dorsia Clinic expert explains that the evolution of the lips with age can be correlated with that of the rest of the face. of layers, the skin, the subcutaneous cellular tissue or the fat, superficial and deep, the aponeuroses and the mimic muscles. Over the years, the bone undergoes a resorption process, the muscles weaken (and shorten), the fat atrophies, the dermis fibers become disorganized, losing structure and elasticity, and the skin thins. "
Hyaluronic acid, the king, also on the lips
To correct this aging of the mouth, once permanent silicone fillers have been superseded and discouraged by unhealthy and anti-natural permanent fillers, hyaluronic acid has emerged as the king of lip beauty. The reason: its nature as a biocompatible material with the body, which causes a correct assimilation.
Currently, says Raúl Peláez, injectable resorbable hyaluronic acid gels are used, specific for lips, with the ideal texture and cohesiveness for the intralabial area. Its estimated duration is six to twelve months, depending on the degree of crosslinking of the material itself. Over time, it undergoes a process of degradation and reabsorption, returning the lip to its initial state, once it disappears.
This hyaluronic acid filler procedure for lip augmentation is simple and time-consuming. Generally, it lasts about half an hour. Infiltration is done on an outpatient basis in the office or medical center, and the patient can go home the same day. It is relatively painless once local anesthesia is applied, either topical or injectable.
At Dorsia Clinics, the treatment is called Infinity Lipsy and consists of two half-hour sessions. The first is the actual infiltration of the product and the second is monitoring or retouching if necessary.
The interval between the two will be two weeks.
Other possibilities for your mouth
For patients who do not absorb hyaluronic acid well, there is another filler, cross-linked carboxymethylcellulose, which lasts longer and is suitable for people with autoimmune diseases.
Better known is the filling with the patient's own fat, the so-called autologous fat, a procedure in which anesthesia is applied to both the recipient areas and the fat donor areas. The fat that is used is removed either with a suction device or cannula which is similar to the device used in liposuction or with a syringe. The extracted is sent to the laboratory for processing. Once processed, it is ready to be injected into the receiving area, in this case the lips.
Regarding possible allergic reactions to fillers, Dr Peláez assures that lip infiltration procedures tend to have few side effects and that they only last a couple of days, although he adds that “in some cases, however, the patient may present inflammation and / or bruises in the treated area that can last up to a couple of weeks, always depending on the type of infiltration ”.
For those who are not happy with the result, it can be reversed. If the filling has been made with hyaluronic acid, the solution is the infiltration of a product that comes from a family of enzymes that dissolve hyaluronic acid, hyaluronidase. In the permanent fillings that were used in the past and are no longer used, by surgery or laser with optical microfiber.
And for those who do not dare with these solutions in the clinic with medium and long-term results, the doctor advises to moisturize and give a lot of volume with lip gloss and outline the contour before putting on the lips, with a pink, not too dark wheel. .
