This study presents a reliable approach to lip augmentation for senile lips using autologous fat transfer and laser resurfacing. Different lip types require tailored treatments, including lip advancement for severe cases, to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation.

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Senile lip management poses challenges due to unnatural results from allogenic fillers, inadequate lip resurfacing, and temporary fat transfer effects.
  • Developing effective and reliable lip augmentation techniques is crucial for addressing age-related lip changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a systematic, step-by-step protocol for effective lip augmentation in senile lips.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of autologous fat transfer, laser resurfacing, and lip advancement for different lip types.

Main Methods:

  • Lips were classified into three types: simple senile lip, lip with rhagades, and duckbill lip.
  • Treatment involved autologous fat augmentation, laser resurfacing, and lip advancement based on lip type.

  • Lip tattooing was performed on all types to enhance redness.

    • Main Results:

    • Simple senile lips and lips with rhagades achieved pleasing results with fat augmentation and/or laser resurfacing, often requiring 2-3 sessions.
    • Duckbill lips necessitated lip advancement combined with fat augmentation and laser resurfacing.
    • Lip tattooing consistently enhanced the aesthetic outcome across all treated lip types.

    Conclusions:

    • A tailored approach combining fat augmentation and laser resurfacing effectively rejuvenates Type 1 and Type 2 senile lips.
    • Type 3 (duckbill) lips require a more comprehensive strategy involving lip advancement, fat augmentation, and laser resurfacing.
    • Lip tattooing serves as an effective adjunct to accentuate results for all lip augmentation procedures.
