Rethinking the Lips: functional anatomy and individual variation in the era of normalization

After the era of trend-driven augmentation, lips return to anatomy: at the Agorà Congress 2026 a session coordinated by Raffaella Sommariva rethinks lip aesthetics in the era of normalization.

The session addresses modern lip aesthetics, analysing functional anatomy, ageing patterns, and personalised treatment approaches. Anatomical principles, injection techniques, patient-specific planning, and gender-related differences are discussed, with a focus on anatomy-led practice as the guiding principle for achieving natural and balanced aesthetic outcomes.

The session is coordinated by Raffaella Sommariva. Chairman: Patrizia Piersini.
