It’s easy to say “I would like fuller lips” or to be inspired by models from the world of cinema. But for those who approach this type of approach, it is essential that the choice is always managed together with a specialist, to arrive not only at targeted treatments on the lips but rather to consider the “totality” of the dental system, veneers, teeth whitening. , chewing and lips. How should you behave? Here are the advice of the experts of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SIME).
The parameters to consider
According to Andrea Alessandrini, professor at the International School of Aesthetic Medicine of the Fatebenefratelli Foundation in Rome, in the first place when a patient feels the need to intervene on her lips, there are several elements to observe. For example, theage, with the need to investigate if she is a young patient and wants to intervene because she has thin lips or if she is an older patient and wants to perform another type of surgery and the same structure itself from the mouth. It is necessary to evaluate how the jaw, the type of lips, the bar-code-like wrinkles, the nasolabial folds.
“Then we investigate the type of intervention we want to undertake, what result we want to obtain so as to allow doctors to intervene in the right way and with the right products – explains the expert. There are various types of therapies, you can use both needles and cannulas. The needle is used above all for a redefinition of the contours of the lips and to fill in the roughness that furrow the vermilion; or the needle can be used with a vertical technique if you want to make a strong eversion of the lips, that is to turn them towards the nose, shortening the distance between nose and lips. It is clear that the needle can have side effects, being sharp. The cannula, on the other hand, is used when filling the internal part of the mucosa or the hypotrophic mucosa to obtain a volumetric effect. The study of the lips is very important, because there is a great variety of lip morphology “.
A tailor-made program
By virtue of the initial shape of the lips and the face shape, it is then necessary to develop a precise therapeutic program and it is necessary to map exactly the points in which to introduce the product used and in what quantities, being very careful not to fall into the excesses of vulgarity.
Lip treatments are required from 18 to 80 years. If the youngest require a purely aesthetic intervention, therefore we intervene on the thinness of the lips or on the shape, the later patients have other correction needs not only in volume but also for the so-called lip bar code and for the whole peribuccal area understood as a complete aesthetic unit.
In short, the important thing is to rely on the hands and thoughts of experts. “We have seen too much on the lips – comments Emanuele Bartoletti, president of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SIME). There are aesthetic standards of relationship between upper or lower lips, between the width of the mouth and the rest of the face, of projections of the lips, which too often are not respected. Excessive treatments, vermillions large enough to appear under the effect of a permanent allergic reaction. Results altogether unnatural which often distort the person’s appearance. And this happens when patients ask and doctors perform. It is not Aesthetic Medicine. We remind you that if an intervention is well done, no one has to notice it “.
In short: it is always necessary to start from the anatomical and beauty characteristics of the lips, remembering the stigmatized aesthetic canons to which the aesthetic doctor must strive, without ever exceeding.
