Correction of the shape of the lips with permanent makeup

Methods of aesthetic correction of the lips, which are used in their practice
cosmetologists and permanent masters differ from each other. It is important to remember that both have their pros and cons.

If fillers (gel-like preparations, as a rule, based on hyaluronic acid) allow you to work only with volume, modeling and leveling it, then permanent makeup makes it possible to correct the shape and color in the plane. By combining these two techniques, a true professional can achieve unique results. The main thing is to observe the measure, and this applies both to the field of micropigmentation and to the field of aesthetic medicine.

Correction of the shape of the lips with the help of permanent makeup leads to excellent visible results only if a woman naturally has full, expressive lips. In any other cases, to achieve the effect, it is recommended to use temporary fillers. The combination of these drugs with permanent makeup allows you to radically change the shape of the lips, completely transforming the face.
Micropigmentation specialists, who also have a medical education, can combine these two methods in their practice. But the question often arises, what to do first: contouring with fillers or permanent makeup? From a technical point of view, the order of these procedures does not matter; they can be done in any order. But to obtain an aesthetic effect, it is first better to correct the shape of the lips with the help of tattooing, and then proceed to modeling their volume with fillers.

The effect of temporary fillers is from several months to a year, depending on the viscosity of the drug and the depth of its injection. Then the fillers dissolve. Permanent makeup is done for a longer period. If you correct the shape of the lips according to the already introduced filler, after six months the result can be disastrous. The volume created by the filler will go away, respectively, the original shape of the lips will return. And then the master, quite likely, can find that it has some asymmetry. As a result - again it is necessary to make a correction. Based on the foregoing, recommend to a patient who has not done any of these procedures yet to start with permanent makeup.

It happens that tattoo makeup is enough to get the desired result. Immediately after this procedure, the lips look swollen, and a woman, looking in the mirror, can imagine how her lips will look with the "gel" and understand if she needs it. But there is a category of women who are simply shown lip correction with fillers. Take at least such a cosmetic flaw as too thin lips.

Working with shape and color

With the help of permanent makeup, a beautiful lip contour is outlined, clear and symmetrical. In some cases, it may go beyond the natural contour of the red border, increasing the volume of the lips, but not more than 2 mm to avoid the impression of unnaturalness. If the lips are to be corrected further by introducing temporary fillers, then the contour can be increased a little more.
The next step is shading. Using this technique, the master achieves an even color of the lips, shading the edges with a darker color. Thus, the volume increases visually even more. So that lips enlarged with fillers do not attract undue attention to themselves, you do not need to choose a very bright pigment.
So, with the help of permanent makeup, we achieved a beautiful shape of the lips, gave them a more saturated color, restored symmetry. However, it is not worth immediately proceeding to the next stage - volume modeling. After the tattoo, the skin should fully recover, it will take about a month. Only then can fillers be introduced.

Working with volume

With the help of fillers, you can achieve a variety of effects: create an appetizing swelling, increase the inside of the lips, fill in the "dips" in the corners, making the facial expression softer. The use of fillers is especially successful when one lip sinks inward. They also allow you to raise the lowered corners of the mouth. Filling the nasolabial folds with these means changes the shape of the mouth: its outer edges rise slightly, the lips stretch a little, and the facial expression changes. The introduction of fillers into the upper lip allows you to smooth out vertical wrinkles, which are often grouped in this area in women in adulthood.
Using this technique, experienced stylists can even form a neat new ridge along the red border around the edge of the upper lip, which will look natural.
The introduction of temporary fillers gives amazing results. However, it is very important not to get carried away and stop in time, so as not to provoke hyper-corrections, when the lips almost turn outward.

As a rule, after applying fillers, the pigment on the lips becomes a little lighter and does not look so dense. This is quite natural, because by increasing the volume of the lips, we stretch the skin a little. If this confuses the client, then after the introduction of the gel, you can again resort to the help of permanent makeup by re-shading.
