Abstract:

In this study, facial adipostructuring is presented as a minimally invasive reconstructive alternative for sequelae of lower‑lip loss. Unlike classic flaps (Abbe, Karapandzic, Bernard‑Burrow, among others), the technique allowed restoration of lip volume and contour while respecting the residual anatomy, without adding new cutaneous scars and with the possibility of serial adjustments according to integration and volumetric response. This strategy suggests that adipostructuring acts not only as a filler, but also as a regenerative tool capable of improving scar quality and the dynamic function of the perioral complex, thereby positioning adipostructuring as a complement or, in selected cases, an alternative to conventional reconstructive techniques for the lower lip.

Keywords: Facial adipostructuring, scar sequelae, lip infection, cannulas, natural volumetry.
