Lip Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionShould I Get Lip Implants, Fat Transfer, or Injectible Fillers for a Long-lasting Pout? (photo)
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 :-)

I think your lips are beautiful. I would start out slow, using an artificial filler such as Restylane or Perlane.

If you like the result, then you can move to something more permanent.

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,
