Aesthetic improvement of the lips is a problem that must be treated in a totally independent way from the rest of the face because degeneration of the lips is tied to genetic or acquired factors for which no long-term procedure is effective. The effectiveness of resurfacing of large and small wrinkles using chemical abrasion has long been recognized. Labial padding, using supple Gore-Tex(R) implants that are cut to size and placed where necessary provides the desired result while preserving the function of the lip. Usually requested by the younger patient, it can be used in combination with chemical abrasion in the more mature patient. This technique is not only quick, tested, very effective, and definitive, but totally reversible if needed, which allows us to widen the indications with great safety.

Benefits of the rotating cannula in the treatment of lipodystrophies.

The combination of traditional suction and the use of a cannula which can achieve up to 400 rotations per minute can enable the practitioner to treat lipodystrophies at an angle of 360 degrees. The torque limitation device puts an immediate end to rotations if the cannula meets a resistance, thereby eliminating any risk of lesions to non-fatty tissues. The use of this device over a one year period has proved its efficiency in the treatment of major lipodystrophies and certain areas, which are usually considered difficult because of their density. It is of limited interest, however, in the correction of moderate, classical lipodystrophies.
