How Do You Describe Your Desired Lip Augmentation Shape?

I will be going to a male injector for my next lip injection. I have no idea how to describe what my usual injector does so what can use to describe my desired outcome? Pouty and full are vague. Please share what descriptions satisfied patients gave to you that helped you to understand their expectations.

The ideal lip augmentation shape

The ideal lip augmentation is generally an enhanced version of the patient's existing lips. Often close communication between injector and patient to perfect the desired appearance. If we try to create a completely different shape the lip may appear sausage like or altered. When a patient has down going corners of the lip, these can be corrected by dividing the DAO (depressor anguli oris) muscle.

How to describe the porn star lips I want?

A picture is worth a thousand words. If you have a single photo, close up of YOUR lips taken when they had the look you like, show it to the injector. If you do not have such a photo, take one (or several).

Lip augmentation with Juvederm

The purpose of lip augmentation is to augment the patients lips to an enhanced version of what they have. There is also an overall aesthetic result you look for which is a natural fuller lip. Photographs of either yourself when you last had the injection or pictures in magazines are very helpful. Reviewing these photographs with your consulting injector will help make sure you are both looking for the same proposed result.

Lip augmentation

It is not a bad ida for you to bring in some pictures just so that the injector can have an idea what you are looking for.

How to describe your goals with lip augmentation

Typically the highlights that should be augmented in lips (with HA injection) are pretty standard on most people-- these normal highlights should not vary much from person to person. In those people that have VERY thin lips, additional HA can be added along the length of the lip to restore fullness. In general, if your provider is relatively accomplished with doing lip augmentation, there is not a great deal that you need to explain to them.
