Can my Lips Be Made More Proportional and Full? (photo)

My lips are just very strange overall. They are incredibly disproportionate to my face, and each lip is disproportionate to the other. My top lip is "short". Is there any way to lengthen it? I just want my lips to be balanced, I don't want a huge amount of fullness. How many syringes of Juvederm would make my lips balanced, proportionate, and a good amount of fullness. Thank You.

Balancing Lip Volume

First, I would like to say that I don't find your lips 'strange' in the least bit. You simply have outer lip segment that have less volume than you would like. Adding a filler to the outer upper lips would be a nice technique to give your lips better proportion. At your age, avoiding external lip incisions would be advisable. Work on the volume aspect and see if that satisfies you. Best of Luck Dr Harrell

Nonsurgical Lip Augmentation With Fillers Can Restore Balance, Symmetry, and Proportion to the Lips

Nonsurgical lip augmentation is a quick, easy and relatively inexpensive treatment for restoring volume to lips that have become pencil thin with age-related volume loss, as well as for achieving greater aesthetic symmetry and proportion in instances of natural lack of balance. The materials available today are vastly superior and versatile compared to the collagen fillers, such as Zyderm and Zyplast, that I first used for lip augmentation more than thirty years ago.

Can I make my lips more proportional?

Hi thanks for your pictures. You have made a very nice assessment and have a clear definition of your goals, both of which makes our jobs as physicians easier to accomplish. You have a very nice philtrum and cupids bow with a very quick taper as you move laterally. Your lower lip is full and looks great. Your options include temporary measures such as hyaluronic acid fillers (juvederm and restylane) and permanent implants. My advice to you would be to try the... more

Can my Lips Be Made More Proportional and Full?

Aestheically speaking, your lower lip is quite good. It's the upper lip that is very thin on the outside edges. Ideal lips have a full lower lip with an upper lip that's no more/less than 75% of that size. In your particular case a combination of outer lip lifts with Alloderm Lip Implants may be indicated to augment the upper lip alone. Leave the lower lip as is..IMHO.

Lip Augmentation

Your lips can be enhanced by using fillers such as Juvederm or with lip implants. The most important thing is that the lips look natural and balanced with the rest of your face. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Can my Lips Be Made More Proportional and Full

It's funny how we all focus on things we hate, yet others will like. You have a really nice cupid's bow that soooo many people desire. I understand the part about your top lip being disproportional but all you really need is a small amount to each side of the top lip, nothing to the middle, and leave the bottom lip alone. Your lips are not supposed to be the same size. Naturally the top lip should be 1/3 the size and the bottom lip 2/3 the size. Trying to make the lips proportional often... more
