Under eyelid bags and tear troughs are the two most common concerns for the patients coming to an aesthetic center, and specially their correction without undergoing a surgery. Efficacy of hyaluronic acid fillers has been proven successfully in correction of periorbital volume loss but no reports have been published for their role in concealing infraorbital fat pads. Hence, the effectiveness and safety of hyaluronic acid filler in treatment and correction of tear troughs thereby concealing under eyelid bags are being reported in this article. A 43‐year‐old woman who presented with grade 3 tear troughs and bulged out infraorbital fat pads underwent a single treatment session with 1ml 15mg/mL cross‐linked hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm Volbella®). Assessment of the periorbital area was done immediately after the procedure and after 3 days. Hyaluronic acid filler injection not only showed significant improvement in periorbital hollowness but also concealed the bulge of infraorbital fat pads remarkably. Correction of tear troughs is known to be done with the help of hyaluronic acid but it can also become an excellent alternative to surgery for concealing under eye orbital fat pads without any formation of lumps and irregularity.

Background Lip augmentation using dermal fillers is a widely performed procedure, which gives immediate and gratifying results. However, the cost associated with it is a major concern and reservation for a lot of patients. An innovative minimalistic technique can be used to enhance the lips using minimal amount of filler to provide maximum results, especially in aging lips. Though a simple and effective method, this technique has not yet gained popularity worldwide. Aim To present a case demonstrating a new and innovative technique for lip augmentation as a part of lower face rejuvenation. Method A 55‐year‐old female patient underwent augmentation of lips using the described technique. Since she had a limited budget, treatment was planned to rejuvenate her face in just 1 ml of filler. Areas on the face which would give maximum impact with minimal amount of filler were treated. Treatment was done using Juvederm Ultra Plus XC (JUVX+; 24 mg/ml) dermal filler. Results Using this technique, we were able to demonstrate that a small quantity of filler when used suitably with an understanding of the areas of concern could provide an impact on the overall rejuvenation. Conclusion The described technique is an effective method of lip enhancement with minimal cost, especially in aging patients. Skillful application of a suitable injection technique is required to achieve a desired esthetic outcome.
Background: Lips play an important role in facial aesthetics. Hyaluronic acid fillers have been widely used for lip augmentation in females but very few men seek this treatment due to the fear of feminization of lips. However, there are very few case reports published for correction of lips using fillers in men.
