  • Lips are the most important esthetic structure in the lower third of the face.
  • Full lips of optimal shape and proportion imparts sensuality and femininity in all races.

Practice sutra:

  • Assess any lip asymmetry prior to injection.
  • Respect proportion between upper and lower lip (ideal upper: lower lip is 1:1.6).
  • Avoid excessive anterior projection of the upper lip. The upper lip is more projected than the lower lip by 1-2 mm.
  • Avoid over filling or duck lips.
  • Create well-defined cupid’s bow and philtral columns for youthfulness.
  • Avoid changing the smile of the person.
  • Treat perioral complex (marionette lines, mental crease, perioral rhytids).
  • Hyaluronic acid is the safest filler for lips, avoid using any other filler.
  • Injection into the dry vermillion is always safer.
  • Always counsel the patient regarding swelling of lips for 2-4 days post  injection.
