Lip assessment · injecting mobile tissue · vascular safety around the labial arteries
Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service — and she is the lead physician of this site. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.
On this site her part is the assessment that comes before the material. She looks at the lip at rest, on smiling and while speaking, and establishes which change is actually present — lost volume, lost border definition, a lip that is long rather than thin, or a mouth that reads small because of what is behind it — because only some of those are answered by adding volume. She works from the border and from the movement of the lip rather than from how full it looks, and she treats the point at which a lip starts to read as treated as a clinical boundary rather than a matter of taste. Where the honest answer is a lip lift, a dental or jaw opinion, or no treatment at all, she says so at the assessment rather than after a course of injections.

The lip is judged in movement
A lip that looks right in a photograph can look over-filled in conversation, because the material is folded and stretched every time the mouth moves. The change is usually smaller than the one people arrive asking for, and the assessment is where that difference is worked out. Where a lip has already been over-filled, the honest answer is often less rather than more, and it is easier to say at the first appointment than after a third session.
