Abstract
Enhancement of the lips with facial fillers is currently one of the most popular nonsurgical
cosmetic treatments worldwide. Patients from all age ranges have interest in these
treatments, but there is wide variance of their esthetic goals. Practitioners must
be aware of the challenges posed by both the youthful and mature lip, which usually
requires different approaches and techniques. This article reviews the lip anatomy,
aging changes in the lips and perioral region, techniques to produce consistent results,
and ways to manage and avoid potential complications.
