| Aumento de Labios |
 |
El aumento de labios es un procedimiento que requiere de productos sintéticos o biológicos o reconstrucción quirúrgica para realzar los labios de diferentes maneras. Aumento de labios puede ser logrado con varios procedimientos, algunos mejores que otros. El relleno ideal para labios seria suave, flexible y permanente; pero removible, barato y que NO causara complicaciones en ningún paciente. En estos tiempos eso simplemente no es posible. Sin embargo, los doctores hacen su mejor esfuerzo con lo que hay disponible. El aumento de labios es una de las correcciones estéticas mas solicitadas. El objetivo es mejorar el aspecto de los labios mediante la inyección de un biopolímero. En Ciao Bella tenemos cirujanos que han usado todos los diferentes tipos de procedimientos y le recomendaran el que sea mejor para usted. |
| ¿Es usted candidato para aumento de labios?
Si usted esta en perfecta condición física y emocional, si tiene expectativas razonables, piel flexible y ningún tipo de condición medica, es el candidato perfecto para aumento de labios. Los pacientes tienen que ser comprensibles y tener paciencia al mismo tiempo que disciplina para seguir el protocolo post-operatorio, para aumentar las posibilidades de un mejor resultado.
En su visita inicial, su doctor le pedirá que describa en detalle lo que usted quiere mejorar. Sea específico en lo que usted quiere que su doctor le haga. Traiga fotografías que demuestren lo que le gusta y le disgusta. Si su cirujano entiende sus deseos, le será posible determinar si su objetivo es realista.
Dígale a su doctor: si tiene alergias, un historial de mala cicatrización tales como queloides y de cualquier medicamento que usted este tomando (recetado o no recetado). Usted tiene mayores riesgos de complicaciones si tiene diabetes, mala circulación, problemas del corazón, pulmones o riñón, si fuma, si tiene un historial familiar de problemas de coagulación sanguínea, etc. Usted deberá hablar de su historia médica con su doctor antes de someterse a una cirugía. |

Laser lip rejuvenation
The "Remington Lip" is an exciting procedure using a combination of laser treatments to rejuvenate the wrinkled or aged lip. During the healing process of this procedure, the collagen and elastic tissue beneath the skin will tighten and remodel, restoring the "V" to Cupid's Bow and providing a more healthy, youthful shape to your lips. |
What is recovery like?
Following lip enhancement with one of the injectable products, your lips remain swollen for a few hours only. You may return to normal activities the same day. Touch-up treatments may be necessary. When implants are used for lip augmentation, discomfort is minimal. Some swelling may last up to a week. Elevating your head and applying cold compresses during the first 24 hours will help keep this to a minimum. Postoperative discomfort can be controlled with medication. Chewing food and brushing your teeth may be a little uncomfortable for a few days. There may be some bruising which can be covered with make-up. Generally, patients experience a slightly longer recovery period after laser lip rejuvenation. Most of the healing occurs during the first one or two weeks. During this time the treated areas must be kept moist. Postoperative discomfort can be controlled with medication. The initial redness fades to a light pink.
If you are wondering if you could benefit from lip enhancement or rejuvenation, call our office to arrange a consultation. |
INJECTIONS
Tell your doctor: if you have any allergies, if you have a history of bad scarring, such as keloids and about any medications you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription) You are at increased risk for complications if you have diabetes, poor circulation, heart, lung or liver disease, smoke, have a family history of blood clots, etc. You'll want to discuss your medical history thoroughly with your physician before you choose to undergo surgery.
There are many different options to choose from regarding the type of “filler” for your particular needs and expected results. At Ciao Bella we use many different products and the one you require will be discussed with you at your initial free consultation. The following gives you an overview of the different products available. |
Collagen injections
Prepared from the collagen found in cow skin, collagen injections are used to temporarily augment the lips. Although it is purified, this collagen may cause allergic reactions in some people. For that reason, a sensitivity test should be performed before the actual lip augmentation procedure.
Collagen is injected into the lip with small needles. Because the body slowly absorbs the collagen, the results generally last between one and three months. The procedure may be repeated as needed. |
Fat injections
Fat can also be injected into the lip. The fat is harvested from another area of the body (often the abdomen or thighs) and is purified before it is injected into the lips. An advantage to this procedure is that there is no possibility of an allergic reaction. As with collagen, results are temporary but usually last longer than collagen injections. Fat injections can cause lumping or scarring.
|
Artecoll injections
Artecoll is composed mainly of tiny synthetic beads (polymethyl methacrylate) that stay in the lips, and raise them. This technique lasts longer than fat or collagen injections. We use a special formulation with long lasting results that has been used in Europe and South America for many years.

Restylane injections
Restylane is a clear gel; the hyaluronic acid in Restylane is similar to that naturally found in the body. |
