Abstract
Nowadays, treatments with Hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers have become increasingly popular and include more indications. Present knowledge about the anatomy and facial aging process provides us with a better understanding of the use of dermal fillers for non-surgical facial treatment and facilitates the new approach and better injection techniques for the best outcome. Among these injection techniques, the Butterfly technique was developed by the authors and can be applied as a guideline for all injectors to use in their daily practice and for training purposes designed for intermediate to advance injectors. This technique is a protocol for the improvement of facial definition by enhancing and creating a lifting effect with high G* products to large areas accessible by two entry points. It also helps clinicians to prioritized treatment plans to create the best outcome.
