Aesthetic improvement of the lips with hyaluronic acid fillers is a popular procedure. A comprehensive, modular, and highly individualizable method has been developed: the Lip Omnicomprehensive Volume Enhancement (LOVE) approach. The present study assessed the safety and effectiveness of LOVE across different patient age groups. Methods:. This was a prospective, single-center study of women aged 20–70 years seeking nonsurgical lip enhancement or asymmetry correction. Three equally sized groups were formed based on patient age: 20–34, 35–45, and 46 years or older. Individualized treatment plans were developed taking into account patient preferences expressed in a pre-injection questionnaire. Treatment used one or more of the three modules of LOVE: lip shape [vermilion border, Vycross (VYC)-17.5]; volume (vermilion body, VYC-17.5); and hydration (submucosal area, VYC-12). Follow-up lasted 6 months. Results:. Sixty patients were enrolled (mean age: 41.3 ± 13.3 years; n = 20 per age group), all of whom were White. Most were treated with all three LOVE modules. Mean filler quantities increased with age: 20–34 years, 1.1 ± 0.1 mL; 35–45 years, 1.5 ± 0.1 mL; 46 years or older, 1.6 mL ± 0.2 mL. Mean patient satisfaction at 4 weeks [on a seven-point scale from 0 (extremely dissatisfied) to 6 (extremely satisfied)] was 4.8–4.9 in each age group. Apart from minor and transient edema/bruising, there was only one complication: a case of lumps that resolved with home massage. Conclusion:. The LOVE approach is safe and effective across a range of ages, with high levels of patient satisfaction.Dario Bertossi, MDRiccardo Nocini, MDBerend van der Lei, MDPhilippe Magistretti, MDAlessandro Gualdi, MDAli Pirayesh, MDAlberto Marchetti, MDWolters KluwerarticleSurgeryRD1-811ENPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, Vol 9, Iss 11, p e3957 (2021)
