Objectives: The large portfolio of marketed fillers, varying application techniques, and expanding medical literature create a challenging environment for healthcare professionals (HCPs) to identify appropriate products, apply them safely, and obtain consistent, predictable natural looking lip augmentation. The aim of his paper is to provide a standardized methodology, based upon foundational anatomical and aesthetic principles to deliver consistent lip augmentation.
Introduction: A global consensus panel of 5 dermatologists/ aesthetic physicians served to develop a universal lip augmentation injection method, appropriate for injectors of all levels, and adaptable to a great variety of individuals regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity. Through the round-table discussion format, panel members identified eight universal focus injection sites for lip augmentation. To create a standardized method, specific techniques, injection plane, product, and application tools were agreed upon for each treatment site.
Materials / method: Based upon discussion of correct procedure to assess patients desires and appropriate treatments available, two pathways of treatment were devised. First, Beautification, incorporating four injection sites, selected for individuals with good lip structure seeking natural looking augmentation through lift and volumization, and second, Restoration, incorporating four distinct structural injection sites and three Beautification injection sites, designed for individuals requiring restructuring of the natural looking lip shape that further serves to support subsequent optional Beautification.
Results: This consensus is not intended to be a systematic review, but to be the core treatment guide for natural looking lip augmentation with CPM-HA injectable fillers supported by the research literature and the consensus panels’ clinical experience. The consensus has been prepared to guide HCPs in the assessment of patient lips, selection of products, administration of techniques, and safe effect depths, with the aim of establishing a reproducible, seamless lip augmentation protocol to achieve consistent, natural looking results, with enhanced safety and patient satisfaction.
Conclusion: It is anticipated that HCP injectors will use the consensus knowledge to provide individualized treatment plans for their patients and achieve the desired lip augmentation outcomes.
