Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Group 2 - Hyaluronic acid  Dose : total of 0.9 mL of Hyaluronic acid filler [Canine Fossa( 0.3ml + 0.3 ml each side) Anterior Nasal Spine ( 0.3ml of HA) ] Frequency: once Route of administration: Deep Supramuscular and/or in a multilayer approach Total duration of intervention : 90 days Injection Site : -Canine Fossa - Inject approximately 0.2 to 0.3 mL per side into the deep layer of the canine fossa (upper part of the nasolabial fold) using a 27-G needle. - Anterior Nasal Spine - Inject approximately 0.2 to 0.4 mL over the anterior nasal spine at the bony level using a 27-G needle. Method of Injection :The site is prepared by applying a topical anesthetic cream : Lidocaine. The needle to be used is 31 gauge 8 mm. Administration of 23 mg/mL hyaluronic acid using blunt microcannula (25G and 50 mm) in Deep Supramuscular and/or in a multilayer approach..Total amount 0.6 mL of HA per side. Treated area will be the whole white lip, from the entrance to piriformis fossa to the midline. Measurements- Two reference points will be used in the study : A – median point on the lower margin of upper lip; B – midpoint of the line connecting the gingival margins of maxillary central incisors .The gingival display will be measured using a scale and a Vernier calliper for precise measurements between two marked points. The distance between point A which is the tip of the lower margin of the upper lip and point B which is the midpoint of the gingival margin of the central incisor will be measured as the gingival show. The values will be calculated on 14th day post administration of Hyaluronic acid filler and at the end of 30th , 60th and 90th day. 
Intervention  Group A - Botulinum Toxin A  Dose : total 5 units of BTX -A ( 2.5U per side) Frequency: once Route of administration: intramuscular ( IM) Total duration of intervention : 90 days DILUTION OF THE BOTOX VIAL: Freeze dried Botulinum Toxin (A) vial 100 units is available in a freeze- dried powder that clumps at the bottom of the vial and is diluted using 4 ml of normal saline. 2.5 units of BTX‑A will be injected under sterile conditions at 4 sites, 2 on each side of the face. Method of Injection :The needles were inserted at the overlapping points of (i) levator labii superioris alaeque nasi and levator labii superioris muscles; (ii) levator labii superioris and zygomaticus minor muscles on each side of the face. This is roughly about 1 cm lateral and below the nasal ala on each side of the nasal fold. A skin marker will be used to mark the injection points to reduce the risk of asymmetry. The site will be prepared by applying a topical anesthetic cream : Lidocaine. The needle to be used is 31 gauge 8 mm. Injection of 2.5U of Botulinm toxin type-A will be given on both right and left side at YONSEI POINT. Measurements- Two reference points will be used in the study : A – median point on the lower margin of upper lip; B – midpoint of the line connecting the gingival margins of maxillary central incisors .The gingival display will be measured using a scale and a Vernier calliper for precise measurements between two marked points. The distance between point A which is the tip of the lower margin of the upper lip and point B which is the midpoint of the gingival margin of the central incisor will be measured as the gingival show. The values will be calculated post administration of Botox on 14th day and at the end of 30th , 60th and 90th day.
