Nowadays, the esthetic approach has changed from standardized to personalized volumization. The concept of lip augmentation is also adapting to new issues. In this context, knowledge of lip anatomy and of filler rheology is crucial to use the best product suitable for the characteristics of each patient. Indeed, to grant personalized and consistent results, an approach that implies the use of the same technique or the same filler could result ineffective or inadequate. In this “real-life” experience, 10 patients have been treated with a new hyaluronic acid filler specifically developed for lips (Aliaxin^® LV, IBSA Derma, Lodi, Italy). Aliaxin^® LV filler has optimal rheological properties for a correct volume enhancement, without compromising a natural look; it demonstrated to provide a good volume enhancement with excellent definition of the lip area. The rheology of the filler also consents to avoid the round and pulpy effect that not all patients require, especially those over 40 years. The product showed a consistent result up to 22 weeks after the treatment, together with a minimum downtime for the patient and an excellent injectability evaluated by the clinician.
