Intradermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid (Shiseido, Japan) are produced using a multi-stage patented technology high-density tapping process (h-DTP) from cross-linked hyaluronic acid microgranules without additives. The gel manufacturing process achieves increased viscoelasticity through physical cross-linking, ensuring the final product is completely free of toxins. It is primarily a safe, highly elastic and cohesive filler. This product is evenly distributed in tissues, shows excellent hydrophilicity, has increased plasticity, volumization and is completely destroyed by hyaluronidase.

Age-related changes are most noticeable in the area of the lower third of the face: drooping of the corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds, the formation of purse-string wrinkles and “puppet” wrinkles, loss of clarity of the oval of the face.
The task of modern medical cosmetology is to start preventing age-related changes as early as possible in order to preserve youth, beauty and health longer.
Young age according to WHO – ranges from 25 to 44 years. Today, there are more and more such patients visiting a cosmetologist. And that is great! At this age, it is easy to prevent age-related changes.
Patients in this category belong to the generation of skeptics who question many things, so the task of a cosmetologist is to correctly substantiate his work.
Such patients follow innovations and want to look good not only in life, but also on social networks (in full face, in profile and half-profile). They are often wealthy and independent, busy and multitasking, ready for several procedures in one session. The quality of the product, attention and professional approach are very important to them.
It is worth noting that the needs of patients change over time. If 5-7 years ago the emphasis was mainly on the lips, then on the cheekbones, today the trend is on the lower third of the face (a clear oval of the face).
Previously, an oval face (or a diamond-shaped face) was considered the most beautiful and photogenic; today, a more elongated lower third of the face (particularly due to the chin) is considered videogenic.
What parameters will we use when harmonizing and beautifying the lower third of the face?
Patient profile analysis
CC Steiner (1962) proposed studying the position of the lips relative to the line (S-line) connecting the middle of the S-curve formed by the contour of the nose and upper lip with the cutaneous point pg. He assessed the position of the lips in two positions, namely the lips in front or behind the aesthetic line.
RM Ricketts (1957) recommended determining the position of the lips relative to the aesthetic line (E-line). It is carried out through the most prominent points of the nose and soft tissue chin - point pg. With a harmoniously developed face, the lips are located behind this plane: the upper lip is 2–3 mm, the lower lip is 1–2 mm.
To study the position of the upper and lower lips on the soft tissue profile, S. J. Burston (1967) proposed using a B-line connecting the soft tissue points sn and pg. The author took linear measurements from the protruding points of the upper and lower lips perpendicular to this line. This line does not depend on the size of the nose, which continues to grow until the age of 27. According to S. J. Burston, the ratio of the lower lip to the upper is 2:1 in men and 2:3 in women. The upper lip should be located 3.5 ± 1.4 mm in front of this line, and the lower lip should be located 2.2 ± 1.6 mm in front of this line.
How long does facial contouring last?
This method is based on the effect of introducing drugs under the skin that give the desired volume, elasticity and beauty to facial shapes. With the help of injections, the skin is saturated with moisture and collagen production is enhanced. Patients often ask the question: “How long does facial contouring last?” Analyzing reviews and diagnostic data, we can conclude that this is an individual process. Usually the effect lasts for 1-2 years or more .
After the procedure, slight redness may remain, which disappears after 2-3 days. The face is transformed, becomes beautiful, with smooth contours.
The contour plastic service has a number of advantages:
- the procedure does not require significant financial costs;
- the structure of the skin improves, cellular regeneration occurs, the appearance of the skin changes;
- there is no long recovery period;
- minimal risk of complications.
Contraindications for the provision of the service:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- age less than 18 years;
- oncological diseases;
- fungal, viral, bacterial diseases;
- bleeding disorders.
The recovery period after facial contouring, how long the effect of such a procedure lasts depends on age, the condition of the skin, the presence of bad habits in the form of smoking and alcoholic beverages, lifestyle, diet, and heredity.
Full face
Let's note another popular request for beautiful lips - don't overdo it.
Lips should not make up more than 25% of the lower third of the face.
The upper lip should ideally correspond to 1/3 of the lower lip. The main volume of the drug is distributed in the center of the lips, corresponding to the line of projection of the wings of the nose.
It is worth paying attention to the shape of the face; square and trapezoidal shapes may not be suitable for correction of the angles of the lower jaw.
How the procedure works and what to do after it
At the first stage, preparation is carried out (cleansing of impurities, makeup removal). Then an anesthetic gel is applied to the area where the drug is administered, after which the injections themselves are made. The filler has a high density, and a syringe with a cannula is used to administer it. Its tip is blunt, rounded, and not sharp, like a regular needle - the cannula allows you to move apart the tissues without practically damaging them.
All manipulations will take no more than forty minutes. Immediately after the intervention, you can evaluate the result in the mirror and go about your business. No special recovery is required, but for several days you will need to take certain precautions:
- do not rub or damage your face (to avoid infection in puncture wounds):
- do not perform traumatic procedures (scrub, peeling);
- do not visit the beach, bathhouse or sauna, and do not stay in the open sun for a long time.

Patient B., 39 years old
. I asked to increase the volume of my lips.
The lips were corrected using the “Russian Lips” technique. In photo 3, during subsequent procedures, volume was added to the mental zone and to the projection of the mandibular ligament attachment. The patient noted the beauty of her face; her lips began to look harmonious and attractive.
Conclusion: it’s worth looking at the patient holistically; perhaps you shouldn’t start contouring with the lips.
The patient had 1 ml of QT FILL Deep injected into her lips twice with an interval of 2 weeks (2 ml in total).
In the submental area and in the projection of the mandibular ligament - 2 ml of the drug QT FILL Sub Q.

Patient S., 42 years old
. I complained about my double chin. On examination, there is a pronounced lack of volume in the mental area. By correcting this area using the drug QT FILL Sub Q (volume of 1 ml in two sessions with an interval of 10 days; 2 ml in total), we obtained a visual absence of a double chin. The patient stopped noticing him in the photograph as well. Additionally, lips were augmented with QT FILL Deep – 1 ml, thereby comprehensively beautifying the lower third of the face.
