Area of Science:
- Cosmetic surgery
- Dermatology
- Aesthetic medicine
Background:
- Lip augmentation is increasingly popular, utilizing various fillers.
- Suboptimal results, such as the "duckbill lip," are common with conventional techniques.
- Asymmetrical lips and previous augmentation complications present challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and describe the
- lip tenting
- technique for lip augmentation.
- To demonstrate its efficacy in achieving optimal shape and volume control.
- To highlight its advantages over conventional lip enhancement methods.
Main Methods:
- A novel injection technique, termed "lip tenting,"
- involves injecting filler almost vertically from the white roll.
- This contrasts with traditional parallel injection methods along the lip contour.
Main Results:
