The result seduces me so much that I decided to devote an article to it.
Lip augmentation: I tested. Here are my impressions.
As a young 30-year-old fan of natural beauty, I had never, until now, changed the appearance of my face through aesthetic medicine . A few weeks ago, seduced by the approach proposed by Maison Lutetia , I nevertheless decided to slightly boost the volume of my lips (and, by the way, my self-esteem) by using hyaluronic acid injections.
The place: Maison Lutetia
This Parisian aesthetic medicine clinic, nestled in the 17th arrondissement, is a charming address very popular with celebrities. Here, the “less is more” so characteristic of the French allure is transcribed in each of the treatments offered, whether for the face, body or hair. “Maison Lutétia is the temple of soft, non-invasive aesthetic medicine, for French-style results”, explains Dr Sarah Fadli , local aesthetic doctor. “We are looking for natural results, far from the trends of ostentatious injections that we can see on social networks… Where all faces end up looking alike! The goal of our aesthetic medicine is to preserve and enhance the charm of each patient over time. Thus the lips must be treated with expertise and gentleness in order to support and slow down the process of skin aging.” It is in this spirit that a technique specific to Maison Lutétia was born: the French Kiss. The goal: plump the mouth in a natural and tailor-made way. Explanations with Dr. Sarah Fadli.
Everything you need to know about the French Kiss, a technique for increasing lip volume using hyaluronic acid
Can you explain to me the French Kiss procedure and how it differs from classic hyaluronic acid lip augmentation techniques?
Dr. Sarah Fadli: The French Kissis an injection technique exclusive to Maison Lutétia. It is a question of sublimating the natural assets of the lips, without distorting the charm of the face. The goal is to obtain a result that could not be more authentic. The French Kiss must reveal the beauty of the face, without taking precedence over the other features: the patient’s personality must be respected. To achieve this, a different product crosslinking can be used depending on the desired rendering. For example, it is possible to moisturize and line a lip with a malleable fluid hyaluronic acid. For more volume, a denser hyaluronic acid helps project the mouth slightly and bring softness to the features. It is thanks to the three-dimensional property that the difference between hyaluronic acids is made. The ideal is to add volume gradually, session after session, so that the hyaluronic acid injected almost ends up merging with that which is naturally present in the lip! Technically, we favor the cannula passed through the side of the lips for natural results, but also to avoid the migration of the product. Thus, the tissues are preserved and the risk of seeing a bruise appear is largely limited. The results of French Kiss are very different from those of the ostentatious technique of Russian Lips, which consists of inflating the mouth with a needle above the lips without taking into account the proportions of the face. In addition, the needle often leaves hematomas and oedemas… Over time, the hyaluronic acid injected vertically can migrate and leave a mustache of hyaluronic acid! What this’
