Presenting Complaint
A female patient sought lip enhancement to address concerns about perceived thinness and lack of definition. While desiring a natural appearance, she expressed a preference for subtle results.
Observations
1) The patient exhibited visible volume loss in both upper and lower lips, likely due to natural aging.
2) Lip borders appeared less defined, contributing to the thinness perception.
Diagnosis
Age-related lip volume loss and undefined lip borders.
Treatment Plan
Dermal Filler Injection: To achieve the patient's desired subtle enhancement, 1ml of dermal filler was strategically injected across both upper and lower lips. This technique focused on restoring definition and adding a touch of volume while respecting the patient's preference for a natural outcome.
Results
Following the treatment, the patient achieved fuller, more defined lips with a natural appearance. This fulfilled her request for subtle enhancement while addressing her concerns about lip thinness.
Additional Notes
This case study showcases the versatility of dermal filler injections in achieving natural-looking lip augmentation. By carefully tailoring the amount and placement of filler based on individual preferences and goals, subtle yet impactful results can be achieved. It is crucial to prioritize patient expectations and maintain a conservative approach to ensure satisfaction with the outcome.
