Would You Recommend Juvederm for my Lips?

Question viewed 868 times
Tags: opinion, overbite, plump, thin lips

I would like my lips to be plumper and have a bit of a pout. They're quite thin (even after using lip liner - as in pics) and the upper lip especially has a very flat look between my nose and lips. Since I have a slight overbite do you think the filler would make my lips look very fake and ducklike? I want it to look natural and subtle. How much do you think I would need and where would I have it injected for the most benefit? Also would you recommend that I get it in my philtral columns?

Would Juvederm work for my thin lips

Yes, you could use Juvederm or Restylane to plump ypour lips but even more effective, IMHO are the Lip Implants like Alloderm or the silastic implant which increase the actual red portion, of the lips, not just the borders.

Juvederm in lips

Juvederm is a wonderful and natural looking option for lip filler. Please do your research and go to someone who has a lot of experience with fillers and discuss at length your expectations for the outcome. Juvederm can last a while so it is better to stick with "less is more" mentality: You can always go back and fill more. Good luck!

Juvederm for Lip Augmentation

Juvederm is an excellent choice for lip augmentation. I personally find it 'softer' than Restylane. Depending on where you inject, you can have a pouty and/or fuller look. The common mistake I often see with lip augmentation is that providers concentrate on the vermillion border. This will only give a pout without fullness effect---leading to a ducky look. Most of my patients want fullness without looking too pouty. This is very easily done if you understand the lip anatomy.... more

I do think Juvederm could help if you want lip augmentation

I do think Juvederm could help if you want lip augmentation and it could be used very nicely to just define the lip line. I think the philtral columns are always important. I treat the philtral columns in almost all patients who have them nicely defined and in you I definitely would.

Juvederm is an excellent filler choice to enhance the lips

In general, the hyaluronic acids are excent options for lip enhancement. These include Juvederm and Restylane. Juvederm is particularly well suited considering how soft it is, allowing it to disperse evenly into the target area very well. When thicker and non-hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into areas that have substantial muscle activity, like lips and tear troughs, there is greater risk of filler to be shuttled into discrete lumps. In other words, the muscle... more

Juvederm for Lips

Your lips have a great shape. Yes, I think adding volume would enhance the appearance and be beneficial. I like Juvederm for the lips. I think that is a great choice. Good luck, and make sure you go to an experienced injector. One syringe should be plenty, for your first time! Dr. Grant Stevens

Juvederm injections, lip augmentation, Juvederm placement

Juvederm excels for lip augmentation as it is soft and the least palpable filler in the lips. When injected properly by an experienced injector, you should achieve the natural look you are seeking and the lips should not appear fake or duck-like. I would recommend injecting one syringe of Juvederm, and possibly even less, as you can always add more product at a later date should you want more volume down the line. There are several different places the lip can be injected... more

Lip augmentation

Lip augmentation with fillers like juvederm or perlane should do the trick for you to give you the fullness that you want.

Juvederm for Lips

I prefer to use fat or Juvederm for lip augmentation. I would place the fat or filler at the vermillon border and in the philtral columns. I would not place more than one syringe of the Juvederm. Be conservative - you can always come back for additional injections if not satisfied.

Lips augmentation enhacement juvederm restylane cost

Your lip would look very nice with the right injection approach with either Restylane or Juvederm. Restylane is FDA approved for lips in the United States now. The complete cost for this procedure is $400 for Restylane and slightly more with Juvederm.

Juvederm or Restylane for the Lips

You have very nice youthful lips, with good volume. The upper lip may be injected slightly on the inside part on the sides to create a mild lift and volume enhancement. Stay conservative. A 0.4 ml to 0.8 ml of juvederm should be sufficient.

Lip Enhancement with Juvederm

Using a filler, like Juvederm, can be highly gratifying to enhance the appearance of your lips. Looking at your pictures, I would agree with your ideas as to where enhancement would make the biggest difference. A word of caution; you have the type of lips that I approach with the most caution. Very volume depleted lips always look better with filler injection, almost irregardless of technique. Lips, like yours, that start out looking nice are quite easy to... more

Don't overdo it

Cyberkitty, Think about whether you are wanting a slight enhancement of volume with a natural look and a more shapely lip vs. wanting bigger lips. I would approach your lips gracefully and as someone else said, add some filler along the border of upper lip and a bit to the bottom lip but would hen concentrate on shape more than large amount of volume. I would then have you look and see what you think before adding more. DO not go to the doctor and say "I want a whole syringe in my... more

Fillers for lip augmentation

Either hyaluronic acid filler, Juvederm or Restlyane are great products for lip augmentation. Your lips have an excellent shape to them the only thing I would recommend is maybe one syringe to give you a little more definition and volume. I think with the right injector you will be happy.

Juvederm is a wonderful filler used to augment the lips

I think everyone will agree that you have beautiful lips. However, Juvederm can be used to make them look even more defined! I agree that enhancing your philtral columns would help. I would also add Juvederm to the upper lip vermillion border to better define the junction between the pink and skin of the upper lip. A small amount of volume can also be added to your lower lip. You would not need more than one syringe to get the effect you desire. Prevention of "duck"... more

Juvederm is Perfect for Lips

Juvederm (or Restylane) is the best option for enhancing your lips. It can be used to increase volume, define the vermilion borders and create a more youthful curl, and elevate and lift the corners of your mouth. One syringe should be sufficient to achieve the changes you want. Injected properly you should not have a fake or duck-like look. Please remember, your results depend upon the skill and experience of your physician injector. see video

Juvederm

First, you have very pretty lips. I do think that enhancing your philtral columns would enhance them as well as adding some to the sides. On profile, enhancing your upper lip, especially your phitral colums, would decrease the distance between your nose & your upper lip. I do not think you would need more than one syringe.

No to Duck Lips

The usual cause of injected "duck lips" is too much filler along the vermillion white -red lip junction and not enough filler in the wet red lip and ignoring filler into the lower lip. A balanced lip has the lower lip fuller than the upper lip. Juvaderm works well. For those seeking permenant augmentation soft silicone lip implants can look and feel quite natural.

Juvederm Ultra Smile / Juvederm XC

I have no doubt JUVEDERM is a good option for your lip enhancement. I think your lips look nice, so I would inject 1cc of Juvederm Ultra Smile (Juvederm XC) to define and resize minimally your lips. You can achieve a great result, looking natural an subtle with well-defined shape and lip contour and definition improved; the small asimmetry would be corrected.
