Facial Lipostructure

Dr Goldmann is famous for his work on fat injections and using fat for facial rejuvenation. The area of the face which is most responsive to fat injection are the nasolabial lines. Use of restylane and other fillers is common in the nasolabial lines, the naso-jugal groove, and other areas showing depression. But the problem with fillers is that they are expensive and are temporary. The latter aspect is also thought to be a beneficial aspect, since any irregularity is at most going to last for 5-6 months. However here fat scores very highly, in that the procedure is a one time affair, uses self fat (autologous fat transfer) and tends to be permanent. It is specially suitable for the nasolabial lines, which are notorious for their irresponsiveness to treatments. Special instruments are available for releasing the nasolabial lines and then injecting fat there to correct the depression.

Lip augmentation, making the lip bigger, is most commonly and successfully done with injectable fillers. Regardless of the injectable filler used, its instantaneous result is very satisfying in most cases. The use of injectable fillers in the lip, however, is predicated on one important concept…that there is enough vermilion (pink part of the lip ) to expand. For that is what fillers so, expand the soft tissue of the lip.

There are some people, however, that do not have or show a lot of lip vermilion. Trying to expand these thin vermilions with filling agents can create a ‘duck lip’ appearance, which creates more horizontal projection rather than a vertical increase in exposed vermilion which creates a bigger lip.

For these types of thin lips, the only way to really increase the size of the lips is to physically move the vermilion. These two surgical options for lip lifting are the vermilion advancement (lip advancement ) and the subnasal lip lift. (bullhorn or gullwing lift) Both are simple operations but they differ in location on the lip where they are performed and in what they can achieve. They are very similar in that both result in scars.
