I've been wanting to make my lips stop protruding out for a long time, and my dentist says that if I remove 4 teeth (ouch) and get braces, my mouth will go in and my mouth protrudes because of my jaw. But when I poke it, it feels like there's just a lot of lip fat or tissue or something, and I was wondering if a lip reduction could help me? I want the lips to not stick out for a side profile, but could I get that done without really decreasing the size of the red part of my lips?
A lip reduction could be just what you need. But be be aware of the causes of your lip protrusion. If the cause can be corrected, such as protruding teeth, you might want to consider addressing that first.
There are several factors influencing lip protrusion..These would be your age, ethnicity, genetics and tooth position. Lips are thicker when you are young and get thinner as you age, the pink part (vermilion) becomes more rolled in and appears to become thinner over time as well. Many dark skinned people have thicker lips as we all know. The lips are supported to a large degree by the teeth; a toothless person will have sunken in lips; a buck toothed person will have overly thinned lips that may not close completely.
The part of the lip that is reduced is just behind the point where the lips touch each other. This should not result in reduction of the vermilion.
Good luck.
I would like malar augmentations instead of getting repeat Radiesse injections. I want high dramatic results a la Megan Fox but am unsure of whether the history of Radiesse injections will affect the procedure? This seems to be a very unpopular procedure and I don't have enough fat to do any kind of grafting, so implants seems to be the best option but how will the Radiesse affect the surgery, if at all? Will it leak out during the procedure?
Cheekbone implants are placed directly on the native cheek bone, the Radiesse is in the skin. The combination of the two can give a dramatic result to cheekbone projection. As the Radiesse resorbs, the augmented cheek bones will lose some prominence, but the prominence derived from the implants is permanent.
Good luck.
