Las Vegas Lip Augmentation doctors

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.

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.

hi datoreozz:

without front photos and evaluation of lip level as related to your teeth, whether your upper lip is "normal" is really difficult to evaluate.  however, the side view looks fine.  your upper lip is thin and overhangs the lower lip a bit but this is likely related to a strong upper jaw projection.  i would be likely to discourage a lip shortening procedure without further information since it would requie a scar under the nose and the skin distance from the bottom of the nose to the cupids bow of the upper lip looks pretty normal with this limited view.  it could also make closing the lips a little more difficult.

it would be great to see your full profile and evaluate the relationship of your chin to your lips, if your chin is small, support of the lower lip could be improved by addressing the chin and that could bring the lips into better proprortion.

i find it very helpful to evaluate the entire face to see whether the problem that you are identifying is the actual problems or just what attracts your eye because of something else.

i agree that any speech problems are likely due to issues inside your mouth not outside/ lip related. 

Work with a board certified plastic surgeon who is willing to look at the whole picture (your whole facial balance) to address your concerns.  talk over what bothers you and let him or her guide you to better balance of your lips.

best of luck!
