What Kind of Filler/Implant Should I Get to Enhance the Shape of my Lips?
No, I have performed Lip Augmentation for over 20 years and written scientific papers on the subject. Lip Implants, especially Alloderm lip implants, give more volume in a natural and supple manner. Fillers like Restylane and Juvederm can give fullness to the lips but not to the same degree as implants. Remember there's no inherent magic in fillers or lip implants rather the plastic and cosmetic surgeon, you choose, must understand and follow the proper...

Juvederm or Restylane are best for lip enhancement
Juvederm or Restylane are the best options for enhancing lips. They are used to replace lost volume, define the vermilion borders and create a more youthful curl, elevate and lift the corners of the mouth, and correct vertical wrinkle lines. They can restore the natural contour of the upper and lower lip and enhance the Cupid’s bow area. Lifting the corners of the mouth gives a hint of a smile and reduces the “sad or angry look” when they are down turned. Please remember,...

Best treatment for thin lips?
There are lots of different treatments for thin lips, and each doctor often has their personal favorites. For first time treatment, I would suggest (and I think many doctors will agree) using an HA filler such as Restylane or Juvederm.

Restylane and Juvederm to Enhance Shape of Lips
Fillers like Juvederm or Restylane can certainly add volume to thin lips. Without pictures it is difficult to tell what can be accomplished with the shape of your lips.

Lip Augmentation
Both will give fullness to your lips, however, there are pros and cons to both. Fillers are temporary and need to be redone every so often. Implants are permanent although they can be removed at a later date. Because of the way the implants I use are shaped, it gives a very smooth appearance in your lips. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can best assist you in achieving your goals.

Fillers or implants for lip augmentation?
Lip implants used to be more popular than they are now because you can easily augment lip size with an injectable filler. The filler that seems to be most easily injected is Juvederm, but Restylane works too. Depending on how MUCH enhancement you want, there are other techniques which place filler not in the lip body itself, but almost above and "under". The lip then everts on its own and for some people this is adequate for their desired appearance goal.

Silikon-1000 may be used by experienced physicians for natural-looking, permanent Lip Augmentation.
Silikon-1000 is a permanent, off-label filler that may work particularly well for smooth, natural, permanent lip augmentation. Several treatments are typically necessary for complete correction, and treatment intervals are monthly or longer.
I've attached a link to an interview I did for RealSelf regarding silicone lip injections.
I hope this is helpful for you.
