Does Restylane work for lips?

Restylane is my first choice of fillers when injecting the lips.  Juvederm also works well. . .but I prefer Restylane (less volume is usually needed to achieve the same results in my experience).

It is possible to achieve fuller, natural looking lips with Restyane.  You don't have to look like a freak (unless that's your goal. . .I still wouldn't do it, though)!

The "Restylane lip" look is dependent on the technique of the injector.  Everyone will have some swelling for a few days, but the freakishly huge lips that seem to be the rage (so one would think) has to do with injecting TOO much filler. . .perhaps it's a new subset of body dysmorphic disorder we should look into.  Hmmm.

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.

To get a really good lip enhancement it is critical that the injector understands what you want and how to get you there. Really pretty lips on one person can look silly on another person.

Restylane is a very good filler that has been used for lip enhancement with great results. Both the lower and upper lip can be enhanced with Restylane. The Restylane can be used to change the shape of the lips as well as the size and fullness.

Restylane tends to absorb a little more water than Juvederm so there may be a little more swelling for a few days, but this quickly resolves. If your lips were very small to begin with, any treatment may be obvious. If your lips were more average, then a really skilled injector may be able to give you a lip enhancement that is subtle but very pleasing. The results can last from a few months to over a year.

Another great thing about Restylane (and all the other Hyaluronic Acid fillers) is that if you really don't like the results, there is a chemcal called Hyaluronidase that can be used to dissolve the Restylane.

The most important part of getting a good result is the injectors skill at understanding what you want and how to use the various products to get you there. For many injectors (and patients) Restylane is a great choice for 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.
