1. Before treatment.
2. Grasp the vermilion border between your fingers. Place the needle between your fingers and thread it into the vermilion border at a 10 degree angle to the skin's surface. Inject Zyplast Implant.
3. Ideally material should track along the vermilion border renewing its definition. You should feel the material tracking between your fingers. Use a double-sided massage to mold the border.
4. Inject Zyplast Implant superior to the vermilion border below the filtrum. Approach the area with the syringe parallel to the angle formed by the upper lip.
5. Complete the treatment by injecting Zyplast Implant along the vermilion border beneath the lower lip. Inject as shown above. To mold the border, pinch between fingers and roll down.
6. If desired, a slightly downturned corner of the mouth may be uplifted. Begin by injecting Zyplast Implant directly into the vermilion border just below the corner of the mouth, in the direction of the eye. Inject as shown above, allowing the material to track upward to the most lateral aspect of the upper lip. Massage the treated area after each injection.
7. Optimal correction.
Points to remember:
- Pinching the vermilion border keeps Zyplast Implant at the border and is less painful for the patient.
- If Zyplast Implant does not track along the vermilion border, stop injecting and massage material into proper place.
- 100% correction is recommended when using Zyplast Implant; do not overcorrect.
- Ice packs may be used after treatment to help alleviate discomfort in the treated areas.
