Volumizing threads and hyaluronic acid filler for lip augmentation

Abstract

The lips have long been recognized as a defining feature of youthfulness, attractiveness, and beauty. Lip augmentation procedures are popular in aesthetic practice, aimed at achieving defined and full lips.While hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used for lip augmentation, their dynamic nature may lead to accelerated breakdown, necessitating additional measures to maintain results. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Volumizing threads, though relatively new in the literature, offer promise as an adjunct to fillers for lip augmentation. We present a successful case of lip augmentation using volumizing polydioxanone (PDO) threads, emphasizing significant lip volumization. Moreover, the potential benefits of PDO threads, such as collagen stimulation and minimal downtime, are delineated. Further research, including randomized controlled trials, is imperative to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of PDO thread procedures for lip augmentation.
