I would like a more luscious, full pout...what products would you recommend, especially regarding price vs quality? Also, do you think I need some surgery on my THIN lips, or can glosses and lip liner really make a difference? Thanks :-)

Lip fillers are always good to test the results before going to the permanent implants.

Fillers such as restylane/juvederm ($550/syringe) are great to start with since it allows you to see what size and shape you want. Later switch to lip implants($1500-2000/implant) for a more permanent result. Fat injections or silicone injections can be done but often are not worth the problems. sincerely, David Hansen,MD

If you must...

I think your lips are beautiful. I would start out slow, using an artificial filler such as Restylane or Perlane. They only last 6-12 months and this will allow you to see what your lips would look like with more volume. Take before and after pictures and compare them. If you like the result, then you can move to something more permanent. Best of luck to you!
