Use a temporary injectible before considering permanent lip augmentation
I do a large number of permanent lip augmentation using the patient's own tissue (most ofter concurrently with a facelift). However, for patients who see lip enhancement only, I would recommend that they try a temporary filler first to make sure they like the results. If so, then these can be repeated or a permanent solution can be undertaken with the knowledge that the patient will definitely like the result.

Lip Plumpers, Lip Augmentation, and Facial Fillers
Most plastic surgeons will agree that the safest and most predictable treatment choice for lip augmentation are the hyaluronic acid facial fillers including juvederm and restylane. These products are safe and have a very low allergic profile.
In many cases, Restylane and Juvederm are used to augment the upper lip elements and the lower lip. Juvederm is extremely safe and is used in my own practice to highlight upper lip anatomic elements and add volume to the upper and lower lip.

Dermal fillers are good to plump lips
If over-the-counter products are not providing you with adequate results, the next step would be a dermal filler such as Juvederm. I would recommend against having any implants or permanent lip fillers (such as silicone) placed, since these can be very difficult to remove if you do not like the results. Good luck with your injections.

Juvederm injections are your best bet
We have found that Juvederm injections are the best treatment for getting beautiful full lips. We like Restylane as well, but it can feel slightly lumpy, and Juvederm is fantastic for the lips. It looks natural and it is soft, so nobody else has to know what you have done. The amount of product varies, but most patients are happy with one syringe, and some want two syringes. As with anything, the person injecting it is the most important factor in your quest for fuller lips.

You can start out with Juvederm injections...
There are a few procedures you can have to achieve fuller lips. You can start out with Juvederm injections which provide nice results and last for about 6-8 months. A more permanent option is Silicone injections which may require a few treatments to get the result you desire. Implants are not used as often anymore. Be sure to discuss these options with your surgeon to ensure you are a proper candidate for either of these procedures.

Make your lips fuller
I am not aware of any cosmetics that actually make the lips fuller. I would suggest a filler procedure with either Juvederm or Restylane. They are safe, fast and effective.

Lip augmentation
There are a number of approaches to fuller lips....Some fillers which are injected into the lips can give a safe and nice looking result ( juvederm, restalyne, perlaine). Plain fat injections are also done but tend not to last very long (less than 2 months). Implanted materials like softform, gor-tex and all other artificial materials should be aggressively avoided... they almost always lead to problems down the line and need removal.For 15 years I have been doing a proceedure I invented usin

Injectables are the best option for fuller lips.
For years, many techniques have be performed to achieve fuller lips, but most of them have been only temporary fixes. Juvederm and Restylane injections are both easy solutions which, for most patients, give a correction which lasts up to a year. Unlike most of the procedures to enhance the lips, there is minimal recovery time with Juvederm and Restylane, and if an over-correction were to occur, it can be completely reversed with a hyaluronidase injection.

Getting beautiful fuller lips
There are a number of options in obtaining fuller lips. Remember, it is not enough to create simply larger lips, the lips should also have more aesthetic pleasing shape. Lip implants pose significantly higher risk profile than injectables. Permanent injectables likewise have a slightly higher risk than products like Juvederm, Restylane, etc.
In my practice I prefer a longer lasting Juvederm product for lip augmentation, this allows for precision sculpting of...

Sustaining fuller lips - lip plumpers vs. dermal fillers
Topical products sold over the counter can only do so much when it comes to fuller lips - something not sustainable for any length of time with these products. Most will agree that with a menu of excellent hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, such as Juvederm & Restylane, the outcomes will prove a much better investment with duration and effects. We would discourage any permanent product in the mouth area.
