Options for thin lip augmentation

Hard to say without a photo or exam. In the face it is a good idea to start with something non permanent. The soft and hard tissue of the face will change with time. We usually start out with a hyaluronic acid based filler, (i.e.; juvederm, restylane). It looks like you may benefit from some volume in the lips. Best to see a few experienced injectors and see what they offer.

Best treatment for fuller lips

For a more natural looks I prefer fillers. These include fat transplants or injectable fillers such as Restylane. If you want a more permanent result fat tranplantation is excellent. It may take two sessions to get your optimal result but it provides for a natural feel and look to your lips.

Lip augmentations and lifts

Beautfil lips not only possess a certain degree of fullness, but also a well-shaped cupid's bow and an average distance of 1.1 cm between the top of the top lip and the bottom of the nose. Don't just focus on the fullness part and disregard the other features when discussing your options with a board certified plastic surgeon. Sometimes a filler will give you the look you're after - but sometimes it can produce what I like to refer to as duck lips. Often times the real... more

Thin lip treatment varies with the type of thin lip.

Thin lip treatment varies with the type of thin lip. Without seeing photos it is difficult to say what would work best for you. In general, fat grafting is my preferred method which I have used for more than 30 years. Silicone can also be used or other fillers.

Best augmentation for lips

Juvederm or Restylane are the best options for correcting lips. They are used to replace lost volume, define the vermilion borders and create a more youthful curl, elevate and lift the corners of the mouth, and correct vertical wrinkle lines. They can restore the natural contour of the upper and lower lip and enhance the Cupid’s bow area. Lifting the corners of the mouth gives a hint of a smile and reduces the “sad or angry look” when they are down turned. Please remember,... more
