Thus I have 15 favorites which I like to combine! These include retrograde, anterograde, perpendicular injections (lip tenting), serial puncture, fanning (chicken feet), cannula, vermillion border emphasis, wet dry border emphasis, middle 2\/3&#8217;s of the lips, parallel lip injections, keyhole preservation, lip tubercle preservation, starting laterally, starting medially, and our 4 hands lip technique.  There is also something called the Russian Technique for lips but I&#8217;m not quite sure what that is &#8211; perhaps it is more of a white roll\/vermillion border emphasis technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to have a vision in my mind for me to achieve and to maintain safety at all times. There are so many variations on what I like to do, but what I keep in mind in choosing which method I use is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>physics of elasticity, viscosity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiesse.com\/professionals\/about-radiesse\/volumizer\/\">rheology<\/a>, vectors.<\/li><li>goals we have (shape, amount, symmetry, proportion)<\/li><li>minimizing the amount of traumatic forces<\/li><li>comfort<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m thankful for our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surgerytoday.com\">plastic surgery assistants at Surgical Artistry<\/a> for helping me develop a 4 hands lip method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One could also combine lip filler with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\">Botox<\/a>, but that&#8217;s for another topic.  Thanks for reading my Lip technique blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About me:  I am Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\">Calvin Lee<\/a>, MD, former trauma surgeon.  I have been injecting lips since around 2008.  I use Allergan products: Juvederm volbella, and ultra most often for lip plumping.  I also sometimes use Restylane for lips and also for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/botoxblog\/tag\/tear-trough\/\">tear troughs<\/a>.  I actually think that tear troughs and lips are some of the hardest filler procedures to do.  The two procedures are quite opposite in the technique we would choose to do.  I am located in Modesto, CA.  Our address is 4754 Dale Road, Modesto, CA 95356.  We moved in March, 2019.  Hope you can visit us and give us a call at 209-551-1888.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I&#8217;m asked about my favorite lip augmentation technique.
