The perfect pout using the "keyhole" technique for lip fillers? (Photo)

Question

Getting the perfect "pillow-y" pout is something I'm OBSESSED with trying to achieve. I've seen the internet go wild with this new technique being used called the "keyhole" technique where a thin divider (usually a thread held together on one end in the patient's mouth) splits the bottom lip into two sections while the injector places the filler. The result is gorgeous, but is anyone actually doing this? I'd love to have it done myself if it doesn't involve huge anatomical injury risks.

Yes. We we do this all the time in our office and works very well. It can be done with several fillers we keep in stock. This technique is not any riskier than the typical lip injection. All lip injections should be done with great care.

Each Doctor will have their preferred techniques. You'll want to see a board certified doctor with skill, expertise, and the best techniques with lip augmentation. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Look at doctors who do live filmings, teachings, and have good before and after photos on social media sites!  Best, Dr. Emer
