Correction of a post-traumatically scarred upper lip with hyaluron filler

Abstract

Introduction It is generally known that dermal fillers are widely used in anti-aging medicine, to provide volume in healthy skin and mucous tissue. Fillers can also be successfully used with concave scars in order to lift the tissue and to give third dimension to the retracted skin surface. The aim of this case report was to show successful non-surgical treatment with hyaluron filler of the post-traumatically deformed upper lip.

Case outline We report a case of a woman with asymmetric partly incompetent upper lip, after trauma and primary surgical reconstruction. After almost 12 years, reconstruction with hyaluron filler was performed, using linear retrograde and bolus technique.

Conclusion Presented case correction of the posttraumatic scar of the upper lip illustrates that good aesthetic results could be achieved with hyaluron fillers.
