Anatomical-Based Diagnosis and Filler Injection Techniques: Lips and Philtrum.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lip augmentation has become increasingly popular in aesthetic medicine, driven by advancements in dermal filler technologies and injection techniques. This review provides a comprehensive overview of lip anatomy, age-related changes, and current best practices in lip augmentation using dermal fillers. The complex structure of the lips, including multiple layers of skin, muscle, and mucosa, contributes to their unique appearance and function. Age-related changes, such as volume loss, thinning of the vermilion border, and flattening of the philtrum, significantly impact lip aesthetics. Understanding these changes is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies. The review discusses the importance of tailoring treatments to individual patient needs, considering factors such as ethnic variations in lip structure and cultural preferences. It emphasizes the significance of proper filler selection, with hyaluronic acid-based products being the gold standard due to their biocompatibility and reversibility. Injection techniques, including needle and cannula approaches, are described in detail, with a focus on safety and optimal aesthetic outcomes. Anatomical considerations, particularly the vascular supply to the lips, are highlighted as critical for avoiding complications during filler injections. The review also addresses the evolving approach to lip augmentation, which now focuses on restoring natural contours and addressing age-related changes in the perioral region rather than simply increasing volume. Finally, the importance of managing patient expectations and the potential for future advancements in the field are discussed, including the development of more targeted filler products and refined injection techniques.
