Lip augmentation and non-surgical rhinoplasty

Hello, and thank you for your question! If you have never augmented your lips before, I would suggest starting with a filler like Juvederm that, while temporary, will allow you to see results immediately and will allow you to decide if you truly like the look of your augmented lips. If you are pleased with what the filler does for your looks and then choose a route that is more permanent, I would recommend going with the SurgiSil Lip implants. They are made up of a very... more

Achieving a Fuller Upper Lip

I would advise using a filler made of hyaluronic acid, such as Juvederm or Restylane. I like Juvederm because it is soft, natural looking and is injected well.

How Can I Achieve a Fuller Upper Lip?

Silicone has way too many complications, IMHO, to be injected into the lips. I have had many patients come to me after having silicone injected into their lips elsewhere with huge, swollen and lopsided looking lips...only to have me tell them it can never be removed completely and it can continue to disfigure their lips for life. Alloderm or one of the other lip implants is a far better permanent option for augmenting your lip(s).

Best method for a fuller lip

Juvederm or Restylane are the best options for correcting an aging lip.

Lifting the corners of the mouth gives a hint of a smile and reduces the “sad or angry look” when they are down turned. Please... more

Non surgical lip and nose procedures

Silicon injections of the lip should give permanent results. They are essentially irreversible and are best administered incrementally. The changes with each treatment would be subtle but the long term result should be noticeable . I personally do not recommend this as the initial approach to enlarging the lips. The nose may or may not be the type that would look good after injectible fillers to correct a bump. In general, temporary fillers should first be used in both these areas . more

Non surggical Rhinoplasty

Non surgical Rhinoplasty is a MYTH. propagated by those who do not know how to do a Rhinoplasty. Silicone should never be used as a filler. Complication rate is very high, silicone granulomas.. It is permanent. Lip augmentation can be done with Juvederm done every three months or so, also lip augmentation can be done with fat transfer which can be longer lasting.
