filler injections for lips

Mouth and Lips Rejuvenation

Today’s facial surgeons have more options than ever before to rejuvenate the perioral area. It is essential to have a thorough understanding of both perioral anatomy and perceived signs of aging to put the correct treatment plane. The patient and physician need to understand the types of defects that can be improved using noninvasive techniques and those that require a surgical approach. Many products and devices are available to physicians to address these issues and obtain favorable results from dark lips to perioral wrinkles. In general, changes in skin texture, tone, laxity, or pigmentation are treated with chemical peels, lasers, or energy-based solutions. Dermal fillers, Autologous fat, surgical lip implants, botulinum toxin A, and micro-pigmentation are all adjunctive therapies that may be used to augment or rejuvenate the lips. It can modify Orbicularis oculi muscle function via botulinum toxin (BTX) injections or surgery.

Skin Rejuvenation Filler Injection

The two principal categories of temporary fillers approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for facial rejuvenation are hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite. The selection of HA implant is based on the indication and site of placement. For lifting and restoring volume, improving the structural foundations and facial contour, a high-density HA implant is injected deeply into the supraperiosteum. To treat medium-deep depression, we used a mid-density hyaluronic acid filler injected subdermally. For treating the periorbital area and the area around the lip, giving finished facial refinements, a low-density hyaluronic acid filler is selected with a water-like consistency filler. The most significant limitation of a ﬁller compared with fat transfer is the potential cost compared with the latter as each syringe can be pretty expensive. The greatest beneﬁt of a ﬁller is accuracy. The other beneﬁt is that a ﬁller is bioinert and does not increase with patient’s weight gain but obviously may not look good when a patient does gain or lose weight as the ﬁller has been injected to match a person’s current weight status.
