Vertical tenting along the vermillion border is exactly what it sounds like 🙌🏽🙌🏽
You’re entering the skin perpendicular to the border (but stay right in the pink, not beyond), creating a gentle tent with the needle before depositing. Small linear struts or microbolus here are key. Precise placement. The goal is definition without bulk- a border that looks like that person just has a beautiful lip, not a lip that was filled.
What I love about this technique is the control it gives you. You’re not chasing product once it’s placed. You’re building the border point by point, which means you can assess as you go and stay completely true to the natural architecture of the lip.
A few things I always come back to with vertical tenting:
Entry angle + Depth matters here. Go too deep and you lose the precision entirely. Superficial is your friend here.
Bolus size should be minimal- these are micro for a reason. This is not the technique for volume. This is the technique for shape+structure.
And please assess the border before you start. Not every lip needs tenting at every point. Let the anatomy tell you where definition is actually lacking.
The lip border is where artistry lives. Treat it like it 🖤🖤
