The perpendicular lip lift This is a technique I have been using more and more as it uses a small amount of filler and gives a beautiful eversion of the lip. It can also be incorporated with other techniques. I injected from the vermillion border travelling along the red lip towards the wet dry border in a superficial plane, injecting retrograde supportive struts. This gives an eversion of the lip without the weight of injecting larger volumes, which can sometimes give a heaviness and thickness to the lip tissue. The additional benefit is that, if placed correctly, the product will track along the natural vermillion. I injected approximately 0.02-0.05ml of Restylane Kysse™ at approximately 0.5cm intervals. This changes from patient to patient, the size of the lip and what you want to achieve. I did not place the product in the corners of Gemma’s lips and started th e injections 1 cm from the corner of the upper lip. If a patient requires a fuller lip then I use Restylane™ in combination with this technique and cross hatching using linear threads and/or small bolus injections. Gemma Johnson, 31, came to see me because she was looking for a natural looking enhancement to her lips. She had well-proportioned lips and a well defined cupid’s bow, but felt that her lip disappeared when she smiled. During the consultation I noticed that her philtral columns were slightly flat and there was also asymmetry between the left and right side of the lip which would be corrected during the treatment. I explained how I would minimize the discomfort with a lidocaine gel, which would allow me to observe the lip movement (smiling and pouting) through the procedure and ensure the product is evenly placed. Bruising is always possible with treatment but sl ow injections, careful placement and avoiding vigorous massage post treatment, along with cool packs can minimize the potential.
