In the twentieth century, women's lips acquired a special status. If during the Middle Ages and the era of Napoleon, a small neat mouth was in favor, then around the 30s of the 20th century, a boom of plump lips began. Today, thousands of girls, dissatisfied with the natural shape, seek to enlarge their mouths with the help of plastic surgery. But the indications for lip plastics can be not only cosmetic.
Sometimes, looking at photos of celebrities, the question arises why they do lip plastics. It is not always necessary to pump silicone by mouth to look attractive. But still, there are situations when plastic can save you from complexes and depression.
What is considered a benchmark
Each woman decides for herself whether to have lip plastics or not. Basically, if there are no specific defects, girls rely on their own ideas about beauty. In order not to become a victim of the general fashion, it is worth adhering to the gold standard, invented in the 15th century.
The great Leonardo da Vinci developed the formula for perfect lips. So, according to the maestro, the upper lip should be one third of the volume of the lower one. At the same time, the corners of the lips are slightly raised, as if in a mysterious half-smile. Also important is the clear outline of the upper lip, reminiscent of the curved "Cupid's bow". If the mouth meets these criteria, regardless of size, they do not need surgery.
When plastic is really needed
The main indications for lip plastics are birth defects, as well as age-related and trauma-related changes.
For example, it is obvious why lip plastics are done for cleft lip. This is a rather unpleasant congenital feature in which the lips seem to be cut across. Only cheiroplasty will help to hide the defect.
In addition, the mouth is often deformed due to the influence of time. With age, the contour "floats", wrinkles appear around the mouth, the corners of the lips sink, and their elasticity is significantly reduced. At the same time, the mouth seems to sink, the skin is ugly wrapped around the jaw and this adds an extra 10-15 years. With a mild degree of aging, contour plastics can be dispensed with, which is an injection method of correction.
Thinking about the situations in which lip plastic is needed, one should not lose sight of such an important reason as trauma. Sometimes, as a result of an accident, part of a woman's face is so disfigured that it is simply impossible to do without an operation. In this case, it is better to go under the surgeon's knife and regain your attractiveness than to be complex about your appearance all your life.
Surgical taboo
Having figured out in what situations lip plastic is needed, it is worth asking when it is contraindicated. Chronic viral infections, diabetes mellitus, oncology, pregnancy and lactation are prohibited for surgery or injections.
It is also recommended to postpone lip plastics during menstruation, with flu and colds, and in the postoperative period.
