Lip augmentation

I think you will find many answers to your question. Of course, the HA fillers work great in the lips but this can get rather costly. Personally, I am a big fan of Silikon 1000 in the lips, although not all of my colleagues will agree. Lip implants may also be considered.

Augmenting lips with fillers

The most important decision with lip or any other augmentation is to see a physician with extensive training in beauty, anatomy and injection technique, so that would be a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. I would typically recommend Juvederm Ultra or Restylane (both hyaluronic acid fillers) for most patients, although in a few patients I will use Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane. I would not use Radiesse in the lips, and other fillers are very risky and have little experience in the lips.... more

Lip Augmentation? Which Filler is Best?

If you are looking for the safest way to augment your lips to the greatest extent, IMHO, Alloderm Lip Implants are far more effective than any filler injection. If on the other hand you want a modest but significant lip enlargement, Juvederm Ultra would be my choice. Be sure that the MD you select understands and follows the proper aesthetics of lip proportion for the creation of naturally, full and attractive lips. I do not use or recommend any type of silicone... more

Lip Augmentation. Which Filler is Best?

Lip fillers such as Restylane/Juvederm do great and look natural for $550 per syringe and last 4-6 months and is the standard. Other fillers such as fat and silicon tend to have problems and don't look or feel so great. Lip implants are very natural looking and easy to put in for roughly $1500-2000 each but I always recommend going with the temp fillers 1st then when you see what size and shape you want, then switch over to the implants.

Best filler for lip augmentation

Juvederm or Restylane are the best options for lip augmentation. The differences between each of the hyaluronic acid gel products include particle size, total concentration, and the extent of cross linking. One of the most frequently discussed characteristics of hyaluronic acid gels is its elasticity, represented by the symbol G’ (G prime). A gel with a higher G’ is better able to resist changes in shape and is described as being firmer, harder or more elastic than a gel with a lower... more

Lip augmentation

One should not consider any permanent injectible filler of the lips unless there is success with the temporary ones. I tend to favor lip implants as they give the lip shape and body and are permanent yet reversible. It is difficult to remove injected silicone products. Fat is a bit unpredictible in my experience but there are others who swear by it.

Lips

I really limit my lip treatments at this point to Hyaluronic acid fillers. Specifically I use Juvederm Ultra Plus for plumping and Perlane for definition and shape.

Use only HA (hyaluronic acid) fillers for lip augmentation

While Restylane is the only FDA-approved filler for lip augmentaion, all hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g. Juvederm, Perlane, Belotero) should be fine. You need the ability to have the filler be reversed with hyaluronidase in case if you are not perfectly happy with the outcome, e.g. nodules, asymmetry. Better yet, choose your injectors carefully and consider only board-certified core aesthetic physicians such as dermatologists or plastic surgeon.
