D What is lip filling? To Whom Can It Be Applied?
Lips have an important place in aesthetic appearance and are the symbol of an attractive face.
So much so that world star Angelina Jolie has come to the fore with her full and attractive lips and has been a source of inspiration for lip augmentation. While the lip volume and lip borders are more prominent at young ages, with age, the lip volume loses and becomes thinner, shrinks, its borders become irregular and the lip changes downwards. In some people, the lips are genetically thin. Lip filling is often applied to younger people to shape and volumize lips, and to older people to restore the lost lip volume over time. Hyaluronic acid is a building block that is already present in the connective tissues of our body and starts to decrease from the age of 20. It has a water holding capacity of 1000 times its own weight. Therefore, the lips gain a more lively, moist and attractive appearance after filling. It also reduces lip dryness.
