From hyaluronic acid to fillers: the secrets to flawless lips

Regarding aesthetics lip treatments, hyaluronic acid, and fillers are effective solutions for natural and long-lasting results. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Opéra II and Opéra III produced by Ksurgery MED, are prized for their viscoelasticity and ability to give volume and definition to the lips while maintaining a harmonious appearance.

Why choose hyaluronic acid fillers?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, known for its ability to retain water and maintain skin hydration. When used as a filler, hyaluronic acid:

• Hydrates and volumizes: due to its ability to bind water molecules, it makes lips fuller and more hydrated, defines their contours, and smoothes out wrinkles.
• Natural results: it integrates perfectly into tissues, offering a natural and harmonious result.
• Safety: being biocompatible, it minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or complications.

Injection Techniques for Perfect Lips

Perfect lips are one of the most common aesthetic desires, but few know the secrets behind the techniques that can transform a smile. Here are some of the most innovative and effective injection techniques.

Diamond Lips by Ksurgery MED collaborator Dr. Croccia

The Diamond Lips technique, created by Dr. Mariagrazia Croccia involves the strategic use of injections that follow a diamond-shaped configuration. The goal is to create full, defined lips, with an even distribution of filler that avoids excess and ensures a natural appearance. This injection technique also allows for greater precision in lip reshaping, thus avoiding the often feared “too full” effect.

Russian lips

Russian Lips are a technique that reshapes the lips to achieve a heart-shaped, Matryoshka-inspired mouth. This methodology involves small injections made along the edge of the vermilion in a direction perpendicular to the upper lip. This procedure allows the Cupid’s bow, the natural groove between the nose and mouth, to be accentuated, giving the lips the desired heart shape. This technique allows the upper lip to be lifted and projected in height. The result? Unprepossessing lips with a well-defined contour and a naturally voluminous appearance, are perfect for those who want a sophisticated, fashionable look.

Lip Tenting

The Lip Tenting technique was specially developed for more mature lips. In fact, it allows for redefining shape and volume, as well as smoothing and eliminating wrinkles, giving the lips a visibly younger appearance. Using a series of transverse injections at regular intervals over the entire lip surface fills and plumps the lips. In this case, the hyaluronic acid filler is released during needle retraction through multiple injections, ensuring that volume is restored in strategic areas where it has been lost. This method is ideal for those seeking discreet but effective enhancement, giving the lips a younger, fresher appearance.

Linear Retrograde

Finally, the Linear Retrograde technique outlines the lips with precision and naturalness. Precisely, in this case, hyaluronic acid filler is injected at both the vermilion and dry mucosal levels to allow natural lip remodeling. In the upper part, the injection is performed following the Cupid’s bow to the corners of the mouth, while for the lower lip, the injection starts from the center and goes to the outer corners. The Linear Retrograde technique not only gives volume to the lips but also defines their contour, giving them a fuller and more sensual appearance.

In addition to the aesthetic effect, hyaluronic acid filler also helps to restructure the lip tissue from within, improving its hydration and turgidity overall. Choosing the right technique depends on each patient’s individual needs and the practitioner’s experience.
