Lip filler injection is a cosmetic procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The goal of this procedure is to enhance the shape and volume of the lips using dermal fillers. In this blog, we will discuss some of the different techniques that are used by medical professionals during lip filler injections.
Different Types of Lip Filler Techniques:
-
Linear Threading Technique
The linear threading technique is a popular method used during lip filler injections. This technique involves using a small needle to inject filler along the vermillion border of the lips. The vermillion border is the line between the lips and the skin, and by injecting the filler along this line, medical professionals can enhance the shape of the lips and create a more defined border.
During the procedure, the injector will carefully inject the filler in a linear fashion, following the natural contours of the lips. This technique is effective for patients who are looking to enhance the shape and definition of their lips.
-
Tenting Technique
The tenting technique is another method used during lip filler injections. This technique involves injecting the filler directly into the body of the lip, which can provide volume and fullness. To perform this technique, the medical professional may use a cannula, a small and flexible tube, to create small pockets of filler within the lip tissue.
The tenting technique is ideal for patients who are looking to add volume to their lips or for those who have lost volume due to aging or weight loss. This technique can create a more natural-looking enhancement and can help to balance out asymmetry in the lips.
-
Fanning Technique
The fanning technique involves injecting small amounts of filler in a fan-shaped pattern throughout the lip area. This technique is used to create a more natural-looking enhancement and can help to blend the filler with the natural contours of the lips.
During the procedure, the medical professional will inject small amounts of filler into the lips, moving in a fan-shaped pattern from one side of the lip to the other. This technique is ideal for patients who are looking for a subtle enhancement and want to avoid an overdone look.
-
Microdroplet Technique
The microdroplet technique involves injecting very small amounts of filler in multiple locations throughout the lips. This technique is used to create a subtle and natural-looking enhancement and is ideal for patients who are looking to add a small amount of volume to their lips.
During the procedure, the medical professional will inject tiny droplets of filler into the lips, spreading the filler out evenly across the lip area. This technique is effective for patients who want to avoid a noticeable change in the appearance of their lips.
