“…Using hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lip volume is one of the most requested services in our daily facial aesthetic practice. 2 , 3 The term beautification refers to beautifying the lips with respect to the normal lip proportions, which ideally should be 1:1.6. However, this ratio may change in African and Asian patients.…”

Summary: Lip fillers have a great impact on the facial aesthetic industry, where several techniques have been proposed for lip beautification in terms of both the results and delivering a safe injection procedure. The study aimed to report a personal experience with a new lip filler technique, via inserting a microcannula through three entry points, resembling an inverted Mercedes Benz sign. Ten female patients between 22 and 29 years of age had a lip filler treatment with a cross-linked hyaluronic acid injected using a microcannula through two entry points at both Glogau-Klein points of the upper lip and one entry point at the midline of the lower lip. The filler product was deposited in both retrograde and aliquots fashion in the superficial muscular plane. All patients reported a high degree of satisfaction with the results of the procedure, with slight swelling and bruising transiently present in some of the patients. Unlike the conventional cannula technique, this new technique offers artistry in accentuating the cupid’s bow and redrawing the lips.

“…Lip augmentation procedures range from surgery to non-surgical procedures such as autologous fat and collagen filler injections. In recent years, hyaluronic acid (HA) filler has become the most popular choice due to its effectiveness, biocompatibility, and safety profile [3,4]. Common complications of HA filler injection include injection site reaction (discomfort, pain, redness, swelling, etc), nodule formation, and skin discoloration.…”

Lips are a crucial aspect of lower-face aesthetics. The wider and fuller the lips are compared to the width of the face, the more attractive a female appears. However, lip volume decreases with age, increasing the demand for lip augmentation procedures. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have become the most popular choice for lip augmentation due to their effectiveness, biocompatibility, and safety. Vascular complications from HA filler injections are rare. However, vascular occlusion caused by filler injections can lead to serious adverse events such as tissue necrosis. The 830-nm wavelength laser has been used for photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in dermatology due to the advantage of adequate tissue penetration. It has also been found to be effective in pain control and wound healing. This case study describes the management of a vascular complication due to a lower lip HA filler injection with adjunctive 830-nm wavelength PBM therapy.

Full lips are considered youthful and attractive. Lip augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed today, especially in Caucasian populations. 1 Previous studies suggested that hyaluronic acid (HA) is an acceptable material for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. 2 As living standards are improving, Chinese have paid increasing attention on to the facial rejuvenation. A recent consumer survey revealed that there is a gradual increase in Chinese consumer demand for lip augmentation. Regrettably, no injectable HA has been approved for lip augmentation in China till date. Clinical trials of lip augmentation have previously been reportedfor non-Asian subjects. 3,4 However, no study has investigated the effectiveness of HA injection for lip augmentation in the Chinese population. Given esthetic differences, the technique and volume of injections may also differ across different populations. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore an appropriate injection technique that can be applied to Chinese.
