Developed by a panel of 5 global experts, 8 core injection techniques were established to guide procedures, including supporting the oral commissures, enhancing the vermillion border, increasing lateral lip show, increasing vertical height and eversion, improving lip curvature, enhancing lateral structure, and defining the Cupid's bow. The approach outlines a 5-step process: patient interview, documentation, anatomical assessment, lip structure assessment, and treatment, promoting results that are tailored to the patient's unique aesthetic goals and anatomy. Two examples of the application of these core principles are highlighted through the Beautification and Restoration pathways, chosen based on patient-specific needs. Beautification enhances existing lip features, whereas Restoration rebuilds structure lost to aging. Three case studies illustrate how these core principles and techniques are applied in practice, demonstrating how individual patient requirements guide treatment. Case 1 involves a 45-year-old patient seeking subtle lip enhancement. Case 2 outlines the treatment of a 39-year-old patient aimed at restoring lip proportions. Case 3 highlights the treatment for a 57-year-old patient requiring structural support. This methodology provides a flexible, structured framework that adapts to individual patient needs, promoting safe, effective, and consistent outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Level of Evidence: 5 (Therapeutic)<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/asjof\/ojaf131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,15]],"date-time":"2025-10-15T12:21:40Z","timestamp":1760530900000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Universal Lip Integrity, Proportion, and Structure: A Framework for Achieving Consistent, Natural-Looking Lip Augmentation Using Hyaluronic Acid Fillers"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Katherine","family":"Goldie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Genevi\u00e8ve","family":"Ferland-Caron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vasanop","family":"Vachiramon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianca","family":"Viscomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonja","family":"Sattler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B1","author":"Grandview Research"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"507","DOI":"10.2147\/CCID.S141906","article-title":"Cohesive polydensified matrix\u00ae hyaluronic acid volumizer injected for cheek augmentation has additional positive effect on nasolabial folds","volume":"10","author":"Gauglitz","year":"2017","journal-title":"Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"940","DOI":"10.36849\/JDD.6011","article-title":"Clinical validation of superficial lip injections utilizing cohesive polydensified matrix hyaluronic acid-based soft tissue fillers","volume":"20","author":"Goldie","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Drugs Dermatol"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"28","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.13487","article-title":"Rheologic properties of soft tissue fillers and implications for clinical use","volume":"20","author":"Heitmiller","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Cosmet Dermatol"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1175","DOI":"10.2147\/CCID.S311017","article-title":"Consensus on the use of hyaluronic acid fillers from the cohesive polydensified matrix range: best practice in specific facial indications","volume":"14","author":"Van Loghem","year":"2021","journal-title":"Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"438","DOI":"10.12968\/denu.1999.26.10.438","article-title":"The psychology of facial appearance","volume":"26","author":"Cunningham","year":"1999","journal-title":"Dent Update"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.1330160206","article-title":"Natural head position, a basic consideration in the interpretation of cephalometric radiographs","volume":"16","author":"Moorrees","year":"1958","journal-title":"Am J Phys Anthropol"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B8","first-page":"191","article-title":"Analysis of the dentofacial profile","volume":"26","author":"Downs","year":"1956","journal-title":"Angle Orthod"},{"key":"2025121603115410300_ojaf131-B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.12968\/denu.2008.35.3.159","article-title":"Facial aesthetics: 2.
