Abstract

Dynamic lip lines pose a challenge in perioral rejuvenation despite the availability of numerous hyaluronic acid dermal filler products and techniques. In this article, the authors introduce additive orthodiagonal rhytidoplasty of the ergotrid, or ADORE, a novel technique for the treatment of severe dynamic lip lines. Based on an objective analysis of treatment outcomes, the authors' technique demonstrates the ability to confer substantial improvement in dynamic lip line severity, with a median reduction in lip line intensity of 79% (average, 70%; SD, 19%) at 1 month and 72% (average, 61%; SD, 21%) at 6 months, and a high degree of patient satisfaction.
