Defining the philtral column and cupid's bow with a hyaluronic acid filler

Hello and thank you for the question. Philtral columns and the cupid's bow may be shaped and defined using injectable fillers. Our preference is to use a hyaluronic acid such as Juvederm Ultra Plus. The procedure is performed over a series of treatments several weeks apart and the results are exceptional in carefully selected patients. Kindest Regards, Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Lip Shape

In my opinion, yes, I believe a small amount of hyaluronic acid filler placed very superficially along the "white roll," or vermilion-cutaneous border of your lips, designed to emphasize and augment the features you are seeking would help. Strategically applied lip liner, lip stick, and lip gloss would help also. A smile would add immeasurably. Many women pay to have lips the size of yours! Enjoy!
