Can Lip Injections Cause Upper Lip to Cover Teeth While Smiling?

I have a very thin upper lip and I'm considering getting lip injections.However I'm quite worried that my upper lip when smiling will cover my teeth.Is this possible?

A: Seek a good injector and you shouldn't have this problem

When considering lip injections, your best bet is always to seek a qualified injector who is a trained physician. In my experience, people who have problems like what you're describing have them from improperly trained injectors. On the majority of people, the bottom lip is larger than the top lip (usually 2/3 to 1/3). This is important when injecting because you want to maintain this balance. If an injector overfills the top lip, this is when you get "trout pout" or obnoxiously overfilled lips. What you and your injector need to discuss is what you want your lips to look like. My assumption is that you want them to be fuller, but in the same proportion as what you have now. This is easily accomplished if you visit a good injector who understands the balance needed for proper lip filling with injectables.

Would a Lip Augmentation Procedure Help with my Depression Problems?

How often does a little cosmetic surgery, like lip filler, help out with patient's overall body image or even depression?

A: Cosmetic surgery should not be used to "treat" depression

Cosmetic surgery should not be used as a treatment for depression, ever. What you need is a good psychiatrist or therapist and perhaps, actually, some medication if you are truly diagnosed with depression. Cosmetic surgery is good for people with a generally good body image who just want to improve a bit; it should not be viewed as therapeutic.

Lips Look Uneven and I Have a Rash Around Each Injection SIte, Could I be Allergic to the Lip Injections??

my lips and laugh lines look even worst than before i got clear gel liquid injected to them! looks like the liquid is uneven and spread. I also got rash/like around my mouth in every place where the syringe was injected, am i allergic? how soon can i get hyaluronidase injected and can i also get it in my laugh lines?

A: Rash from Lip Injections

It's hard to say what's causing it (photos and what type of injections you had would help!), but I would suggest you contact your injector for an evaluation. Allergies to Restylane and Juvederm are extremely, extremely rare (that's why there's no allergy testing needed), so I'm unsure what you'd be allergic to...did you get silicone? Hyaluronidase can be used if the filler is an HA product like Restylane or Juvederm, but not if you had something else injected. Contact your injector, or call for an evaluation from another board-certified physician near you, as it sounds like you might want to see someone other than your initial injector.
