Lip contouring

Dear OrangeCupCakeMaster- great name

Lip Shaping requires a lot of detail.  Fine Detail can be achieved with fillers- smaller molecules placed by injection- for the most part this would be Restylane- used with various sized needles - to allow precise contouring.

Another filler avaialble in Canada is Evolence Breeze- this is a collagen based filler that has amazing properties for lip shaping.

"Permanent" lip shaping is difficult- particularly if you are concerned about precise shape and long term complications. The lips change with age and so do the soft tissues around the mouth- so adjustments will be needed over time.

With Warm Regards,

 Right now there is no one great permanent lip augmentation product.  Gortex can cause problems, silicon can cause problems, artefill is off the market.  While autologous fat is available, it is not reliable as a long term filler.  I have used SMAS tissue from facelifts to augment the lip. This has worked pretty well but is only done in conjunction with facelifts.

Helpful?
