Clavicular augmentation with hyaluronic acid six-point technique: A novel non-surgical approach to skeletal definition

TL;DR

A new non-surgical method using hyaluronic acid injections improves clavicular definition with minimal risks and high patient satisfaction.

Contribution

The six-point injection technique provides a structured, standardized approach for clavicular augmentation using hyaluronic acid.

Findings

The six-point technique achieved immediate and sustained enhancement of clavicular definition.

Patients reported high satisfaction with minimal and temporary complications.

Hyaluronic acid injections offer a safe and reversible alternative for skeletal contouring.

Abstract

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
