Changes in Volume of Lips in 3-Dimensional Analysis and Projection of Lips in Sonography After Injection of Particle-Type Hyaluronic Acid Filler Utilizing a 9-Point Injection Technique.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lip augmentation procedure with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can make patients younger with more attractive. After the injection on the lips, the result is temporary. Physicians and patients wonder how long the HA filler last on the lips.

Objectives

The main goal of this study is to determine how much volume of HA is reduced after injection on the lips utilizing a "9-point" injection technique.

Methods

In this prospective study, 25 females were injected using HA filler and evaluated using noninvasive 3-dimensional-scanner analysis before, 1 h, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 9 months after injection. The changes in projection of lips were evaluated using sonography. The patients were treated as usual manner in a single clinic. Using 29-gauge needle, 20 mg/mL
