Restylane Lips - Does It Work?

Is it possible to inject Restylane into lips and what are those results like? Will it be obvious that I've had work done: "Restylane lips" or similar comments from people (like with collagen)?

Restylane enhances lips

Restylane, Juvederm, and other injectable filler materials can effectively enhance the size and shape of one's lips. These are temporary fillers which need to be reinjected in order to maintain the desired result.

Does Restylane work for lips?

If you are a candidate Restylane works beautifully. If you are not a good candidate, you coud get pouty lips. To find out, hold your mouth slightly open with slack jaw. If your front teeth show more than a couple millimeters, you are good to go. If can't see your upper front teeth, you would get a better result from a lip lift. Check out the video below to see if you are a candidate, and check the link for more info on lip lift. see video

"Restylane Lipp" works

I think that hialuronic acid fillers like "Restylane Lipp"(Galderma-QMed) or "Juvederm Smile"(Allergan) are good options when someone wants to enhance one's lips. In most patients both of them work well. But not everybody is an ideal candidate.

Restylane for lips

Restylane does indeed work for lip augmentation, but it depends on what you might want for your lip shape, the amount of augmentation, and the longevity of the results.  The shape and augmentation amount are tailorable in the hands of an experienced, competent, and diligent physician.  Some patients however complain that Restylane does not last long enough in their lips (6 months or less), and they wish for longer acting alternatives, although I have had patients enjoy... more

Restylane Lips- What does it look like?

As is the case with Botox or any other cosmetic procedure, the answer is "depends who is doing the injections and what your goals are". Restylane along the vermilion border (lip line) and within the vermilion (pink part) of the lip is a very frequent procedure done with soft-tissue fillers. (We have a before and after on my RealSelf page and others on our website if you want to see examples.) It can give a very nice non-permanent augmentation to the lips and can be done in a... more

Restylane for lip augmentation

Restylane works very well to produce a natural lip augmentation. Like Juvederm (another hyaluronic acid filler), it has a number of benefits. I feel that Juvederm provides a slightly 'softer' result, that appears very natural. For this reason, I will typically rely on this filler for most of my lip augmentations. However, if a patient desires a more 'robust' result, then I choose Restylane. I don't use more permanent fillers, because I have seen some disastrous... more

Restylane and lip augmentation

Yes, both restylane and juvederm can work well in the lips.  As to "what it will look like", it depends on what you want and your lip anatomy.  Some people just want the border zone of the lips filled a little - the so called "Paris" lip.  Some want fullness in the body of the lip.  This is something we always review with our patients, prior to injection. Either way, it's important not to over-do the amount of filler, and to respect the... more

Restylane for Lip Augmentation

Restylane is a good temporary option for lip augmentation.  It is a very smooth hyaluronic acid gel, which when injected by a skilled cosmetic surgeon, will provide excellent enhancement.  The downside is that the technique does not provide permanent augmentation, and will need to be repeated as the filler is reabsorbed by the body.  I often suggest a trial of Restylane for lip augmentation to patients who are unsure or nervous about more permanent means of augmentation... more

Restalyne for lips?....Juvederm is usually better

Lips are naturally soft and Juvederm is "softer" than Restalyne, so it  feels " more natural" in this location. Because i8t is "thicker", Restalyne is prone to be "lumpy" in the lips.

Restylane Lips

Restylane is a good option for lip filler, it being in the class of hyaluronic acid derivatives.  While Restylane is good, thicker versions of hyaluronic acid derivatives may provide more staying power.  One of the biggest requests for lip augmentation is desire for lip augmentation to last longer.

Restylane is an excellent product

Restylane is a form of injectable hyaluronic acid filler (HA) which is ideal for use in creating lip volume, enhancing the vermillion border, and elevating downward turning corners of the mouth.  HA fillers tend to be hydrophilic, leading to a secondary in flow of body water into the areas injected.  This leads to a softer fullness that many patients like.  All of these things having been said, an excellent product in the wrong hands, or used with poor judgment will... more

Lip Augmentation With Restylane gives beautiful natural results

Restylane is a Hyaluronic Acid filler (this is a sugar molecule) that is clear and soft like lip tissue. It can be injected into lips for augmentation. I use a customized technique where I inject 13 subzones of the lip to create a natural, yet aesthetically pleasing lip, not a trout pout! I published this in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery in 2008. s with all injectables the results are only as good as the plastic surgeon injecting you.

Restylane for the lips

Restylane works very well for providing natural looking lip augmentation. Depending on the patient, it can be used in isolation or in combination with a filler such as Prevelle. To avoid from being overly apparent, the injector must be careful and experienced.
