A: Filler in the lips

By Ronald Shelton, MD - Manhattan Dermatologic surgeon

Many fillers do not last as long in the lips as in the smile folds. The lips can swell significantly from the “trauma” of inserting the filler. This swelling can last a couple of weeks and might have contributed to the hanging over. Juvederm, Resytlane and Perlane work by binding your own water to... more

A: Which doctor is much more important than which filler.

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Hi! Radiesse is not a good idea in the lips. Both Juvederm and Restylane work fine. Juvederm probably lasts longer. It is the technique of injection and knowing how much filler to put where in the lips that determine the result.. There are links on my web site to plastic surgery... more

A: Lip filler

By Bryan K. Chen, MD - San Diego Dermatologist

I strongly advise against using Radiesse in the lips unless you want lumpy lips. Juvederm and Restylane are my choice for the lips. It sounds as though you received too much volume. I would consider trying the filler again, but with half the volume that was previously used. I would caution... more

A: Radiesse is NOT recommended for lips

By Sirish Maddali, MD - Bay Area Plastic Surgeon

The reason you had the swollen upper lip is likely due to several factors: normal swelling after fillers, too much filler injected, and/or poor technique. Lip augmentation actually does take some skill. Not all injectors are created equal. It is more difficult to inject lips than nasolabial folds. Keep... more

A: Lip augmentation

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Your concern is probaly not relatad to the ffiller itself but the injection technique used be the person doing the filling. I strive for natural looks and will fill the lip line a bit and also the "meat" of the lip as needed to show more of the dry mucosa n women with thin lips.

A: Technique is as important as type of filler for lips

By Richard Baxter, MD - Seattle Plastic Surgeon

There is real artistry involved in placing fillers in lips so that the result will look natural. Some swelling is normal for a few days with any filler. Any of the HA products in the Restylane/Perlane family or Juvederm would be my choice for lips. I agree do not use Radiesse in lips.

A: It is important for lips to look natural l

By Lenore Sikorski, MD - Orange County Dermatologic surgeon

Natural looking lips are an art. Radiesse is not a ggod choice for the lips becasue it is a white material and can get lumpy. All the hyuronic acid fillers work well in the lip especially if less is used. If you find yourself over-corrected the hyuronic acid filler can be disolved... more

A: Juvederm for lips

By Min S. Ahn, MD - Westborough Facial Plastic Surgeon

I perform many lip treatments weekly using Juvederm Ultra exclusively. When Juvederm is placed in the right location and an appropriate amount is used, the results will look extremely natural. I like to think of proper lips as those that fit the person's face. In my hands Juvederm Ultra in the lips will... more

A: Lips; What is the Best Long Lasting Filler for Lips?

By Michael A. Persky, MD - Los Angeles Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hi Mimi, You may have received too much Juvederm, or had swelling from bruising. Sometimes Juvederm may swell more than usual after injection as it takes up water molecules from under your skin. Do not put Radiesse in your lips unless you want to have long term lumps and bumps. Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus... more

A: lip filler

By Edmond A. Zingaro, MD - San Francisco Plastic Surgeon

It sounds like you simply had a bit too much Juvederm injected into your upper lip though it could have simply been prolonged swelling or some bleeding. It sounds as though you are fine now. You say you don't want fillers again. Radiesse is another filler so it seems it would not be what you... more
