Abstract
Lip augmentation is among the most popular cosmetic procedures done today. Advancements in trustworthy techniques have made it feasible to alter the visual characteristics of the lips through the utilization of various injectable substances and surgical procedures. However, there is a lack of standardization in these techniques. The purpose of this review is to focus on novel dermal filler injection and surgical techniques for lip augmentation. We did a scoping review of the literature using PubMed, Embase, and the Google Scholar database to identify all original articles published up to June 2023, assessing new techniques that focus on lip augmentation. In our review, only two studies out of seven included studies were surgical whereas the other five studies were non-surgical. This suggests that injection of dermal fillers is currently the most opted technique performed. This review suggests that incorporating perioral rejuvenation into the plan for lower facial surgery can help to complete the youthful look sought by patients. Injectable fillers provide excellent but short-term benefits and additional options such as Modified upper lip lift and French kiss techniques exist that offer the patient permanent improvements at a low cost.
