Miofill

The classic technique involves needle injection and can be:

• Linear. The needle is inserted along the area to be filled and by retracting the needle the material is injected continuously. The component inside the filler occupies the space left empy by the needle retracting.
• Serial. The filler is injected with multiple punctures, typically 4-5 per lip. The injected material is contiguous in all areas of application.

The doctor may choose to use a flexible microcannula, instead of a needle, in order to make the application even less traumatic and to allow a uniform distribution of the material. This technique allows the treatment of the entire surface of the lips, limiting the entry points at the two corners of the mouth (only one entry hole for each lip).

To be taken into consideration before resorting to lip filler treatment:

• the use of lip fillers is simple, but it is necessary to explain precisely the nature of the treatment and the related result that can be obtained, in order to avoid any disappointment in the patient’s expectations.
• The treatment usually involves multiple applications: the patient must be informed of the impossibility of obtaining the desired result with a single injection during a single session.
• If during the application with the filler an edema appears at the injection site, it could be difficult to establish whether enough material has been injected or whether the filler has been inoculated symmetrically or not. The patient can undergo a check-up after 1-2 weeks in order to evaluate the result of the treatment and correct any asymmetrical areas.
• Each treatment with lip filler should be applied in a “conservative” way: it is possible to inject other material, but if you exceed with the application you can only wait for the reabsorption of the component (possibly favored by the injection of the hyaluronidase enzyme in the case of filler is based on hyaluronic acid, which when practiced by expert hands can eliminate most of the unwanted hyaluronic deposits).
