Overview
A beautiful lip has both height and volume. Restoring lost lip volume however is not a 2-dimensinal but instead a 3-dimensional approach. The complexities of replenishing volume in a decent and natural way requires the injector to understand both the labial vascular danger zones as well as the advanced anatomy of the labial compartments. See in this video how a needle can be used to restore the natural volume of the lips by using a horizontal injection approach with a needle.
