Ticiano Rossi,1 Cyntia Virginia Sardenberg2

Abstract

Background: Inverted and atrophic lips are always a major challenge when we opt for treatment with hyaluronic acid. In most cases, the correct indication would be surgical correction (Liplifting). However, we bring a new technique to provide improved lip inversion with aesthetically natural results.
Methods: Six female patients aged between 30-80 years old and without any previous lip treatment were selected. The application of hyaluronic acid was carried out following the criteria developed by the authors, and deposition of hyaluronic acid using the C-shaped technique or “embrace” technique (HUG lips).
Results: By following the technique and quantities (ml) of hyaluronic acid described, we achieve natural and satisfactory results for lip eversion.
Conclusion: According to our study, we observed an improvement in lip definition, correcting atrophic lips, without the need for surgery, with a high level of satisfaction among treated patients.
