- Abstract
Background: Lip augmentation using dermal fillers is a widely performed procedure, which gives immediate and gratifying results. However, the cost associated with it is a major concern and reservation for a lot of patients. An innovative minimalistic technique can be used to enhance the lips using minimal amount of filler to provide maximum results, especially in aging lips. Though a simple and effective method, this technique has not yet gained popularity worldwide. Aim: To present a case demonstrating a new and innovative technique for lip augmentation as a part of lower face rejuvenation. Method: A 55‐year‐old female patient underwent augmentation of lips using the described technique. Since she had a limited budget, treatment was planned to rejuvenate her face in just 1 ml of filler. Areas on the face which would give maximum impact with minimal amount of filler were treated. Treatment was done using Juvederm Ultra Plus XC (JUVX+; 24 mg/ml) dermal filler. Results: Using this technique, we were able to demonstrate that a small quantity of filler when used suitably with an understanding of the areas of concern could provide an impact on the overall rejuvenation. Conclusion: The described technique is an effective method of lip enhancement with minimal cost, especially in aging patients. Skillful application of a suitable injection technique is required to achieve a desired esthetic outcome.
