“…So, in this group, the "Light lips" technique can be used for a delicate and slight improvement of the lips, using a small amount of product. With the increased distance between the nasal base and the upper vermilion in older patients, it may be inappropriate to redo the philtrum columns, since the philtrum may become very visible and unsightly [3]. This technique could improve exactly the beginning of the philtrum columns, near the vermilion, giving a more natural appearance.…”

The lips and perioral region play an important role in facial aesthetics. Aging induces a loss of volume and contour of the lips, a flattening of the cupid's bow, and the appearance of perilabial wrinkles. Thus, aesthetic procedures are common in this area because fillers can reduce these alterations, improving facial harmony. Although the application of the fillers is based on some systematized framework, undesirable results could occur. The Lip Up technique is a method that applies a very small amount of small-particle hyaluronic acid, only 0.4 ml, to six specific points of the lips. The objective of the technique is to provide lifting of the labial commissures, highlighting some labial points, such as the Glogau-Klein points of the cupid's bow and its equivalent points on the lower lip. After the application of this technique, it is possible to observe an improvement of the lips with very natural-looking results.

“…During the natural aging process, the lips elongate, lose volume and contour, the cupid's bow lattens, commissures suffer de lation and perilabial wrinkles appear. This occurs due to loss of extracellular matrix, elastin, collagen, and subcutaneous tissue, muscle sagging, and bone resorption [3].…”

“…Younger patients desire more lip fullness and focus more on lip shape and size. In contrast, patients with mature lips prefer subtler enhancements focusing on eversion of lips and correction of volume loss 4 . Treatment should be planned tailored to an individual's need to avoid under correction or overcorrection.…”

Background Lip augmentation using dermal fillers is a widely performed procedure, which gives immediate and gratifying results. However, the cost associated with it is a major concern and reservation for a lot of patients. An innovative minimalistic technique can be used to enhance the lips using minimal amount of filler to provide maximum results, especially in aging lips. Though a simple and effective method, this technique has not yet gained popularity worldwide. Aim To present a case demonstrating a new and innovative technique for lip augmentation as a part of lower face rejuvenation. Method A 55‐year‐old female patient underwent augmentation of lips using the described technique. Since she had a limited budget, treatment was planned to rejuvenate her face in just 1 ml of filler. Areas on the face which would give maximum impact with minimal amount of filler were treated. Treatment was done using Juvederm Ultra Plus XC (JUVX+; 24 mg/ml) dermal filler. Results Using this technique, we were able to demonstrate that a small quantity of filler when used suitably with an understanding of the areas of concern could provide an impact on the overall rejuvenation. Conclusion The described technique is an effective method of lip enhancement with minimal cost, especially in aging patients. Skillful application of a suitable injection technique is required to achieve a desired esthetic outcome.

“…Characteristics that define ''mature lips'' include volume loss, perioral rhytids, philtrum flattening, and down-turning oral commissures. 35 Recent studies have also begun to highlight the role of the lower central face (upper and lower lips, chin) in one's apparent age. 36,37 To be clear, these results do not mean that the eyes are less significant in determining facial age.…”

Importance: This is the first eye-tracking study to use a tasked age estimation paradigm to explore the facial cues of age as seen by casual observers. Objectives: Determine where observers gaze on faces when tasked with estimating an individual's age. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a prospective controlled experiment, which took place at an academic tertiary referral center. In total, 220 casual observers (80 untasked, 140 tasked) viewed frontal facial images of women while an infrared eye-tracking monitor recorded their eye movements and fixations in real time. Main Outcomes and Measures: Multivariate Hotelling's analysis followed by planned posthypothesis testing was used to compare fixation durations for predefined regions of interest, including the central triangle, upper face, midface, lower face, and neck between tasked and untasked observers. Results: A total of 80 observers (mean age 23.6 years, 53% female) successfully completed the first untasked eyetracking experiment. A total of 140 observers (mean age 26.1 years, 60% female) successfully completed the second age estimation experiment. On multivariate analysis, there were significant differences in the distribution of attention between observers in the two experiments (T 2 = 99.70; F(5,2084) = 19.9012, p < 0.0001). On planned posthypothesis testing, observers attended significantly more to the lower third of the face (0.20 s, p < 0.0001, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14-0.27 s) and neck (0.05 s, p = 0.0074, 95% CI 0.01-0.08 s) and less to the upper third of the face (À0.27 s, p < 0.0001, 95% CI À0.40 to À0.14 s) when tasked. There was no significant difference in time spent on the whole face in the two experiments, suggesting that peripheral elements such as hair color or jewelry did not significantly influence gaze patterns. Conclusions and Relevance: Humans form judgments about others every day of their lives, and age perception colors their every interaction. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use eye tracking to investigate facial cues of age. The results showed that when tasked with estimating age, casual observer visual attention was shifted toward the lower face when compared with those who were untasked. These data inform our understanding of facial age perception and potential areas to target for facial rejuvenation.
