Achieving Trendy, Balanced Lips with the 8D Precision Lip Design
This case study highlights the use of the “8D Precision Lip Design” process focused on the goals from the consultation appointment with our client.
Client’s Desire:
The client desired more balanced upper lip compared to his lower lip, and an improved appearance. He expressed concerns about wanting to improve the thinness of the upper lip, but also add even more volume to the lower lip. He wanted lips that he would really be pleased with in photographs, and more confident in social gatherings.
The 8D Precision Lip Design Technique:
Applying our 8D Precision Lip Design technique, Dr. Lefty developed a comprehensive approach to this client’s dermal lip filler treatment plan, ensuring his lip transformation aligned with his facial features, social concerns and boosts his self-confidence in photographs. Here’s how Dr. Lefty achieved this:
- Facial Design: Dr. Lefty analyzed her client’s face to ensure the lip enhancement would complement his features, not overpower them while achieving the goal of a “balanced upper lip, with more volume all around”.
- Golden Ratio: This guideline helped balance lip proportions for a beautiful smile.
- Social Goals: Dr. Lefty understands the connection between a confident smile and social interactions. Fuller, more defined lips, and a restored upper to lower lip ratio helped achieve our client’s goal of having lips that he would like in photographs and in social gatherings.
Our consultation process allowed us to understand his specific desires:
- Desired Smile Look: Noticeable change in volume with improvement in lip balance, proportion, projection, symmetry, details and definition.
- Social Concerns: Having balanced lips that would bring more confidence in social situations and in photographs.
- Overall Aesthetic Goals: Restoring lip structures while making them pop and look stunning in photos.
By combining facial design principles, the golden ratio for proportions, and an understanding of our client’s social goals, Dr. Lefty created a personalized lip filler treatment plan. This approach ensures a medically sound, stunning outcome that empowers our client to smile with confidence in any social setting.
The “8D Precision Lip Design” consisted of the following techniques for this patient utilizing dermal filler.
- Increase volume in specific areas for plumping effect, while regaining upper lip dominance present in a more youthful smile, and balancing the natural bulky areas of the lip
- Refine the lip border for a natural, slightly sharper definition
- Improve symmetry for a balanced appearance, especially in the height of the upper lip
- Enhance overall lip shape and allowing them to stand out, but not over power the face.
Treatment Process:
- Our client was anesthetized utilizing precise Inferior Orbital and Mental Foramen blocks on both left and right sides with a short acting dental anesthetic.
- Precise injections were completed with a needle to allow us to achieve our goals, as post-procedure swelling and bruising was not a concern to our client, although we maintain medical design and injection protocols to help reduce these side effects.
Patient Satisfaction:
Immediately following the procedure, the patient was thrilled, there was swelling due to the procedure, which he understood at the beginning of the treatment. He loved that his lips appeared fuller, balanced, and more defined. He was most happy with the volume of both lips and improved symmetry.
Conclusion:
The “8D Precision Lip Design” offers a safe and effective way to achieve customized lip enhancements. The procedure performed with dermal filler can address concerns about volume, definition, and smoothness, while creating stunning lips that complement the client’s unique facial aesthetic.
