Overview
The lips are a symbol of attractiveness in both males and females. During the process of facial aging the volume of the lips is lost which requires volume substitution. Various techniques are available to restore the lost volume when using soft tissue fillers. In this video, the cannula-based linear volumization technique is demonstrated which is especially beneficial for mature lips when a baseline volume is needed. See this standard technique demonstrated and appreciate the complexities of the labial arterial vasculature to understand and avoid the labial danger zones.
