At the dental clinic Dental Estetic Studio in Zagreb, in recent years we have been focusing on lip enhancement and facial rejuvenation, i.e. anti-aging medicine as part of smile makeovers, in order to give the face a new, more beautiful appearance and refresh the contours of the lower part of the face.

We do all of this with the goal of rejuvenating parts of the face alongside dental procedures, while maintaining maximum facial naturalness through minimally invasive treatments and the highest-quality and most natural preparations possible. Such procedures are common in dental clinics worldwide, and dental medicine doctors, thanks to their precision and expertise, will perform aesthetic procedures of the lower facial area in accordance with the teeth, smile and other extremely important factors.

EXPERTISE

Anti-aging procedures, such as lip enhancement with hyaluronic fillers, have been performed for years by Doctor Knego, who received her training for this in London. Alongside Doctor Knego, facial rejuvenation with fillers and threads, as well as facial tightening in our dental clinic, is also performed by the renowned doctor, Associate Professor Dr. Ljiljana Hlupić, MD, with many years of experience in anti-aging medicine, who has completed numerous educational programs worldwide, including an anti-aging academy in Paris and training at an American anti-aging academy.

WE PERFORM TREATMENTS WITH:

HYALURONIC FILLERS which restore moisture to the skin and are completely biocompatible because hyaluronic acid is part of the basic component of the skin – collagen. We use these fillers for various areas of the face, neck and décolleté, for filling fine and deep wrinkles and lines, as well as for increasing the volume of lips, cheeks, etc. by applying them beneath the skin. In addition to hyaluronic fillers naturally filling wrinkles and rejuvenating and enhancing lips, their application under the skin has a long-term effect on the skin rejuvenation process because they stimulate collagen production and provide moisture to the skin. Women who have tried hyaluronic fillers absolutely confirm that there is no cream in the world that can achieve such rejuvenation to that extent and so naturally.

The importance of the type of filler being applied: at the Dental Estetic Studio dental clinic, lip enhancement and skin rejuvenation are mainly performed with Juvederm fillers due to their extremely high quality and slow absorption. They last around 2 years and never disappear completely. They contain an anesthetic, so application is painless.

BOTOX

which in medicine is not used only to stop aging, but also for other medical purposes, and is therefore used worldwide for correcting Gummy smile, when the upper lip rises too much during smiling and too much gum is visible. The application of botox into areas where we want to slow down aging is performed professionally so that facial expressions are not completely removed and in a way that the patient does not need to frequently repeat the treatment.

THREADS FOR TIGHTENING FACIAL SKIN WITH FILLERS RICH IN GROWTH FACTORS FROM THE PATIENT’S OWN PLASMA.

For this treatment, the clinic also has a centrifuge that creates a filler from the patient’s own blood which, when applied under the skin, significantly rejuvenates and smooths wrinkles.

MAIN PROCEDURES

1. Lip enhancement with hyaluronic fillers so that they are slightly enlarged or simply rejuvenated. We rejuvenate lips by restoring the lip border, applying filler throughout the lips and thereby returning the natural youthful fullness that the patient once had. Lip enhancement can be performed so that it looks completely natural and lasts as long as you wish.

2. Filling of nasolabial folds using a special facial contouring technique while ensuring that the procedure does not result in the so-called “fat face”, i.e. the appearance of a fuller face. By filling them, the face will look significantly younger while remaining very natural.

3. Lifting the corners of the lips is achieved by lifting the bite through appropriate prosthetic dental procedures and placing fillers in the areas below the lips, and sometimes also by moderately lifting the cheeks with a special filler.

4. Botox and correction of “Gummy smile” by injecting a very small amount of botox above the upper lip to slightly relax the lip elevator muscles, thereby achieving significantly reduced visibility of the gums.

Facial wrinkles, especially those around the lips, as well as lip enhancement, can be treated with fillers based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a component of our subcutaneous tissue, and by injecting such a filler in gel form, we can naturally achieve:

• elimination of wrinkles, filling wrinkles
• significantly rejuvenated lips, i.e. lips that are full again as they were in youth
• balancing the upper and lower lip if there is asymmetry in size or shape
• or truly naturally enhancing the lips if desired

Hyaluronic filler in the lips will never look like silicone; it looks completely natural and does not migrate. As women age, their lips become smaller and “drier”, and this type of filler is an ideal way to restore freshness to the lips and fill deep wrinkles around the lips, i.e. nasolabial folds. Worldwide, this type of treatment is often a normal part of a “smile make-over” performed by aesthetic dentists, which is why Dr. med. dent. Knego is also trained to work with the most famous worldwide fillers, Restylane and Juvederm.
