How to enlarge lips (at home and in the salon)

Beautiful "mouth-watering" lips are always eye-catching. Nature has cheated someone in this matter, and for many owners of a plump mouth with age, the outlines of the lips are erased, the volume disappears. What to do: consult a beautician, or are there other ways to enlarge your lips? Indeed, you can make them more attractive on your own at home.

Salon lip augmentation procedures are incredibly popular among modern fashionistas. After all, the methods offered by cosmetologists guarantee a quick result and a bright effect. Such professional actions are divided into surgical and conservative.

Surgical methods include "implantation" of implants under the skin of the lips and operations, during which the lip border turns outward. Such interventions are considered complex and unsafe.

Conservative lip correction methods are available in a wide range, offering minimal health risks and remarkable results. These methods include:

This is an injection procedure, the essence of which is to use the cells of the patient's subcutaneous fat layer and then inject them under the skin of the lips. The resulting biomaterial is purified using a special technology, liquefied to the desired consistency and, with the help of the finest needles, is "injected" into the sponges that have lost their volume. The effect lasts for quite a long time - up to 3 years;

Also performed by injection. Various fillers are used for injections into the lips; at the moment, preference is given to fillers with hyaluronic acid and collagen. These components, getting into the tissues, not only retain moisture, but also stimulate the synthesis of elastin and collagen. As a result, lips get hydrated and noticeable volume. And this result has been observed for a year and a half;

Threads

During the procedure, the patient is placed in the lip contour with threads made of caprolactone - a special biodegradable (self-absorbing) material. As a result of such subcutaneous support, a lifting, clear contour of the lips is provided. The qualification of the master guarantees the preservation of the result for up to 4 years;

Non-injection procedures

They involve the use of professional massage and special devices: iontophoresis and electroporation. These methods help to increase the permeability of the skin of the lips, and special gels more easily penetrate into the deep layers of tissues. Such procedures require frequent repeated sessions;

Tattoo

The essence of the method is that a pigment substance of a suitable color is injected under the skin of the lips. The effect is impressive and quite long lasting.

The advertisement says about the availability and safety of cosmetology interventions. But along with rave reviews, there are many negative examples when, instead of decorating the appearance, women literally received ugliness. In addition, these procedures have contraindications, they are not cheap at all, and not everyone has the opportunity to visit a highly qualified specialist. And the fear of pain and injections takes place.

Therefore, more and more women of fashion are turning to home methods for lip augmentation.

Some of them may have contraindications, but you can always choose the remedies that are suitable for yourself. True, it should be noted that the expected result does not come immediately, but only with regular use.

Massage

Massage procedures will have a positive effect on the appearance of the lips, since these actions tone up, increase blood circulation and activate metabolic processes. Within a month, the lips will be much brighter and fuller.

It is carried out in several ways. But, none of the options is acceptable if cracks, herpes rashes or other inflammations appear on the lips.

Spices

Exposure to the skin of irritating burning substances causes a violent reaction inside the tissues, the lips instantly swell, but at the same time their numbness is felt. The disadvantage of this method is that the effect passes quickly (after 3-5 hours). The method is prohibited in the presence of allergic reactions to spices.

Ginger

Grind a small piece of fresh ginger root thoroughly. Apply the gruel to the lips and make squeezing movements with them several times, as they do to evenly distribute the lipstick. Hold the product for a few minutes and rinse, and lubricate your lips with balm.

Red pepper

Cut a small pod of hot pepper together with the seeds very finely and pour a glass of warm water over the floor, let it brew for about an hour. Moisten a cotton pad or soft napkin in pepper tincture and apply to the lips. You will feel a burning sensation, you do not have to endure it for a long time, you can get a burn of the delicate cover of the lips. To avoid this, the lips should be lightly lubricated with vegetable oil before the procedure.

Mix the ground cinnamon with a few drops of oil (peach, olive) or liquid honey, so that a thick mass is obtained, apply it on the lips, massage gently and leave for a few minutes, then remove.

Rub the lemon zest on a fine grater and lubricate your lips with this product, rinse off after a couple of minutes.

Rinse and crush fresh mint leaves. Place the mass on a napkin or cotton pad and apply to the lips, hold for 5 minutes. In winter, fresh raw materials can be replaced with menthol oil.

Cinnamon;
Cayenne pepper;
Peppermint

Lip augmentation with a set of exercises

The muscles provide lip mobility. With age, they lose their tone, and the lips seem to deflate, sag. Special exercises will "pump up" muscle fibers, and volume will return to the lips. To achieve a positive result, gymnastics should be performed regularly for one and a half to two months, and in the future, to maintain tone, repeat the exercises at least twice a week.

A set of exercises for the lips:

Opening your mouth as much as possible to pronounce vowel sounds: "O", "U", "I", and others. Each sound is spoken 20-25 times;
Pull out the lips closed by the tube and hold them in this position for a few seconds. Then with extended lips move left and right, try to "draw" them in the air the numbers "0" and "8". Repeat the exercise several times;
With closed lips, try to reach the tip of the nose, then lower them to the chin. So alternate 10-15 times;
Firmly squeeze your lips and, in this position, move them in different directions several times, then generally pull them in by the teeth and hold them for 10-15 seconds. Repeat several times;
Take a deep breath, puff out your cheeks and release the air in jerks through the closed lips, pronouncing the sound "P". Do this 5 times;
Alternately bite the upper and lower lips with your teeth for a minute, but this should be done carefully so as not to get injured;
Pulling out the lips with a tube through a small hole between them, release air, as if blowing out candles, and draw it back;
Whistle your favorite melody for several minutes.

starting from the center of the lips, apply lipstick with a brush;
lightly powder the surface painted with lipstick and apply another thin layer of lipstick;
the final touch is to lubricate the lips with gloss;

Selection of cosmetics

the pencil should be 1 tone darker than lipstick;

lipstick with a dense matte texture lasts longer on the lips;
if only glitter is used for makeup, then the pencil should be flesh-colored.

"Latest technology" lip augmentation at home

Not all fashionistas are suitable for the above methods of lip augmentation: salon services are too expensive, masks and exercises seem to them long and burdensome. And girls want to look the same as advertising beauties with seductive lips as soon as possible. So can you think of something in this case? Of course, it is enough to remember the children's fun when bottles and cups were “sucked” by the mouth. After all, it has long been no secret that everything new has existed for a long time, but it has been safely forgotten.

The developers of the "newest technologies" for lip augmentation took advantage of this rule and offered the fair sex a special device - the "Fullips Lip plumper". It is made of soft plastic with wide edges and comes in different shapes: round and oval. It is tightly attached to the lips and air is sucked out, a vacuum is formed inside, and then it pulls out the tissues of the lips. So, mouth enlarged by the cap is nothing more than mild swelling.

According to the reviews of those who have experienced the action of the cap, the result is instantaneous, it is enough to "suck" the cap for a few seconds. The procedure is absolutely painless.

Naturally, after the first applications, the effect passes quickly. But, after the device has been used for some time as a simulator, the lips will retain the desired shape longer.

Cap usage rules:

Before using the device, lubricate the lips with a moisturizing balm or cream;
The first sessions should not be longer than 5 seconds;
Frequency of use - no more than 2-3 times a day;
The suction time can be increased gradually.

Another device, the "Sexy lips" pump, works according to the same principle and scheme. One end of this device is widened to fit the lips, the other is like a piston. The wide part is applied to the mouth, and the piston is gently pulled out, so the air is pumped out, a vacuum is created. In this position, the device should be left for 3-5 seconds, then the piston should be smoothly released.

Resourceful ladies sometimes prefer to use the "childish" method instead of these devices and use cups and tube caps to pump their lips. If this does not cause harm, then such a technique has a right to exist.

The main thing for all these "technologies" is compliance with the norms of use, otherwise, with uncontrolled use, wrinkles and bruises appear around the mouth, and cracks on the lips.
All meaningful results are achieved through systemic efforts. Adopting several methods: exercises, oils, masks, skillfully performing makeup, the likelihood of becoming the owner of gorgeous lips will increase significantly.
