Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
GEIS (Global Esthetic Improvement Scale) Assessed by the Subject at Week 8 After TreatmentAt week 8 - change of lips from baseline

To evaluate esthetic change of lips from baseline as judged by the subjects using GEIS. GEIS is a categorical scale with five levels: very much improved, much improved, somewhat improved, no change, worse.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
GEIS (Global Esthetic Improvement Scale) Assessed by the Subject at Week 36 After Treatmentweek 36 - change from baseline

To evaluate esthetic change of lips from baseline as judged by the subjects using GEIS at week 36. GEIS is a categorical scale with five levels: very much improved, much improved, somewhat improved, no change, worse.

GEIS (Global Esthetic Improvement Scale) Assessed by the Treating Investigator at Week 36 After Treatmentweek 36 - change from baseline

To evaluate esthetic change of lips from baseline as judged by the treating investigator using GEIS at week 36. GEIS is a categorical scale with five levels: very much improved, much improved, somewhat improved, no change.

Subject Satisfaction QuestionnaireWeek 8

To evaluate subjects satisfaction in terms of a subject satisfaction questionnaire at week 8 after treatment.

The subject satisfaction questionnaire consists of questions regarding the looks, appearance, disomfort, and satisfaction regarding the treatment of the lips.

The question that will be referred to is: How satisfied are you today with (the look of) your lips ?

Subject Diary for 14 Days After Initial Treatment2 weeks after initial treatment

To evaluate the acute safety profile (bruising, itching, pain, redness, swelling and tenderness) in terms of a 14-day subject diary after initial treatment.

Subjects still reporting one or more of the symptoms; bruising, itching, pain, redness, swelling and tenderness in the diary at day 14.

GEIS (Global Esthetic Improvement Scale) Assessed by the Independent Evaluator at Week 36 After Treatmentweek 36 - change from baseline

To evaluate esthetic change of lips from baseline as judged by the independent evaluator using GEIS at week 2, 4, 12, 26 and 36. GEIS is a categorical scale with five levels: very much improved, much improved, somewhat improved, no change, worse.

MLFS (Medicis Lip Fullness Scale) at Week 8week 8 - change from baseline

To evaluate the efficacy in terms of Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS) score by live assessment performed separately by the treating and the independent investigators in the Restylane Lip Volume group. The scale has five levels: Very thin, thin, median, full, very full. Treatment success is defined as at least one grade increase.
