Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Background: Clavicular augmentation using hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers is an innovative aesthetic intervention for improving skeletal prominence through minimally invasive methods. Successful application requires a precise, structured technique targeting the subperiosteal plane. Case presentation: We describe a novel standardized technique-the six-point technique for non-surgical clavicular augmentation and present the outcome in a 35-year-old female patient. Technique/Methods: Under strict aseptic conditions, 2.0 mL of HA filler (Lorient No. 6) was injected per side into the subperiosteal plane using a fine-gauge needle. The Six-Point Technique involves structured, differential dosing to restore linear continuity (0.5 mL in concavities) and refine convex highlights (0.3 mL along curves). Results: The procedure resulted in immediate and sustained enhancement of the clavicular line and improved upper-torso contour. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient reported high satisfaction (9/10), with no severe adverse events observed. Documented complications remained predominantly minor and temporary, including localized inflammation or discomfort, without any severe adverse outcomes reported. Conclusions: The HA clavicular augmentation six-point technique is a safe, versatile, and reversible option for achieving predictable skeletal definition. This structured, minimally invasive treatment provides consistent, aesthetically pleasing outcomes, underscoring the potential for injectable solutions in skeletal contouring.
