Best Fillers for Lip Augmentation?

My lower lip is thick, upper lip is too thin. I want to do lip augmentation only on my upper lip. I heard some firm lumps would be felt inside the lip by kissing and is disgusting. IS THIS REALLY TRUE? what material is best and longest lasting for injection to lip?

Restylane of Juvederm both work well for lip augmentation

I've used both of the products with equal success in my patients. The experience of the injector is of paramount importance. Either product will look great when properly placed.

Juvederm is the best filler to use for upper lip fullness

Juvederm is the best filler to use for upper lip fullness. Juvederm tends to absorb less water than restylane or perlane so you won’t get that overly puffy look immediately after. For more information about lip augmentation and juvederm, visit my website.

Lip fillers

The best fillers for lip augmentation are the hyaluronic acids. They work great and fill out the lips ver well.

Filler for lips

I have a preference for either Juvederm Ultra XC or Restylane-L .  Both products are hyaluronic acid and both have lidocaine added so that the treatment is more comfortable.  The small sphere fillers tend to feel more natural in the lip and produce a supple feeling as opposed to a firmer more rigid lip.  You can not go wrong with either if those products as long as you have an experienced injector and have a realistic expectation of outcome.

Hyaluronic Acids currently best in the U.S. for natural looking lips

Natural looking lips are what everone's goal should be during lip augmentation. Unfortunately, the lips are one of the most over-treated areas, and lip augmentation is certainly a procedure that separates the expert injectors from the cosmetic novices and non-specialists. Ideally, the upper lip should be about 2/3 the size of the lower lip in volume. While it's important to choose an expert, the product really matters here too!

Lip augmentation is best treated with hyaluronic acid fillers

Lip augmentation can best be achieved in my opinion with one of the hyaluronic acid fillers. I prefer juvederm for the lips but restylane works well also. Lumpiness can occasionally form and this is easily treated with hyaluronidase and can be gotten rid of should it occur within 48 hours. I hope this information helps.

Fillers for Lip augmentation

Any filler can cause lumpiness, though this is very rare (<5%) with the hyaluronic acids (like Juvéderm and Restylane), and the collagens. Fat is another alternative, though it is a little more unpredictable. No matter which one you use, the experience of the injector is also important in reducing the risk of lumpiness.

The new lip implants do very well and aren't lumpy like fillers can be.

Lip fillers like juvederm and restylane do well in the lips and rarely get lumpy but only last 3-6 months.  There are 3 types of lip implants that do great in the lips and are permanent.  They are easy to slide in and easy to slide out if you ever wish that but rarely would anyone want them removed.  They run $1500-2000 per lip and are done in about 20 minutes under local only.

Lip augmentation

Fillers for lip augmentation include restylane and juvederm. Both are excellent choices. Although lumps are uncommon, both can result in "lumpiness" that should be massaged out by the patient or practitioner. It is really technique dependent. Results may be variable depending upon who performs your procedure. Neither last as long in the lips as they last in the nasolabial area, typically 3-6 months.
