MAXI LIPS

Place around 3 fans either side of the top lip with 10 linear threads per fan. The injection needs to be half way down the pink of the lip, just above the wet dry boarder, the injection depth superficial. Only half the needle length is needed as the fan is compact. 

3 fans containing10 threads are then injected over the first layer of fans to layer the product. 

We then place 6 fans along the bottom lip. The first fan starting in the center of the bottom lip on the vermillion boarder in a diagonal direction. Using the same injection point, repeat in the opposite direction 

The next fan on the bottom lip starts in the pink of the lip above the first central fan. 

Any tweaks needed can be made at this point. Remember there will be swelling so it is best to undertreat and get them back for a follow up. 

TOP TIPS

Space each linear branch roughly 0.5mm apart. Injection points need to be just below the vermillion border, in the pink of the lip and they need to be placed closely together. Finish the treatment with a firm flat massage in the direction the filler sits. Bend the needle slightly to help execute a better drag when injecting. 

A more dramatic enhancement only using up to 2ml Dermal Filler 

Place around 3-4 fans either side of the top lip with 10 linear threads per fan. The injection needs to be under the vermillion boarder in the pink of the lip and the injection depth superficial. 

4-6 fans containing10 threads are then injected in the bottom lip. The first fan starting in the center of the bottom lip on the vermillion boarder in a diagonal direction. 

Finally a singular tent starting from the apex of the cupids bow is administered, a small bolus is made at the aped as the needle exits the skin. 

Any tweaks needed can be made at this point. Remember there will be swelling so it is best to undertreat and get them back for a follow up.

1. Balancing Central and Lateral Tubercles 

Objective: To subtly blend the lateral tubercles into the M Shape central portion of the lip. 

Technique: Fanning technique in the pink of the lip, to build volume and achieve a smooth, even appearance of the entire top lip. 

2. Softening the Central Tubercle 

Objective: Align the upper lip more naturally with the lower lip. 

Technique: Tenting 

3. Creating Continuity Across the Lip Line 

Objective: Build a defined vermillion border 

Technique: Fine linear thread along the vermillion border 

4. Filling Gaps for Natural Closure 

Objective: Prevent unwanted gaps that expose the teeth. 

Technique: Micro fan injections above the central tubercle without losing the natural flow of the lip shape. 

Elective dissolve constitution - 1500 units of hyaluronidase with 5ml Torbac. Emergency dissolve - 1500 unit of hyaluronidase with 2ml Torbac. 

The diagram above shows the injection points for an elective dissolve where we are dissolving the whole lip. 

Always patch test in the forearm 30 minuets before treatment to check the client is not allergic. 

The markings outside the lip are if the client has migration, on average I use around 0.1-0.2ml per injection depending on the size of the lips and what product has been used in them. 

In most cases I use a 2ml syringe and a 30G needle to administer the product. 

Massage firmly after the product has been administered. 

TOP TIPS

Space each injection point evenly across the area. Under treat and get back in for a follow up 2 weeks later if more dissolving is required. Hyaluronidase is aggressive and can affect the natural hyaluronic acid. Finish the treatment with a firm flat massage.
