Hi, I was wondering if Restylane can change the shape of thin lips (not just size) into a pouty shape? Can it also lift the outer corner lines? Mine always make me look like I'm frowning. Thank you.

Oral commissures (this is the correct spelling) injected with Restylane/Juvederm to lift frowning look.

Princess, I do not think these photos you have submitted are photos of your own lips, since you say your lips are thin and frowning. These photos are of very full rounded lips. You can get excellent results from Restylane OR Juvederm to help fill out your lips, strengthen the bow-like shape, and lift frowning corners, but be cautious about trying to go for too much volume beyond what fits your face well. I recommend seeing only a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to do... more

Restylane in the lips

An excellent injector can lift the corner of the lips and change the shape/contour of the lips. Find a board certified physician in dermatology, plastic surgery or facial plastics with a great deal of filler experience to do this.

In looking at the photos of your lips it is easy to see what you need.

Dear Princess Your lip need horizontal support at the vermillion edge. This needs to followed into the corner of the mouth. Restylane is perfect for this. Additionally volume placed in depressor anguli oris area will support the outer mouth corners and stop this frown. Great stuff.

Restylane and Lip Shape

Yes, the shape of the lips can be changed to an extent with dermal fillers. Since this isn't't a simple procedure, it's important the patient is treated by a physician that has treated many lips before in order to accomplish this end result. The corners of the lips (known as oral com matures) can easily be turned upward.

Restylane in the Lips

Yes, Restylane and the other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used to shape the lips and also the corners (commissures) of the mouth. Some patients and doctors favor Juvederm slightly over Restylane for the lips, as Juvederm is just a little softer and more supple. Mark Lucarelli, MD, FACS Madison, WI

Best Way to Fill Lips and Turn Up Corners of Lips with Restylane, Juvederm

Hi Princess, Yes, fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can change the shape of lips if they are used properly by the injector. It is not Restylane that changes the shape and lifts the corners of your lips, but rather how your injector uses the tool. Be sure to choose your injecting physician most carefully. Good luck and be well. Regards to the Prince! Dr. P

Restylane for lips

Yes, Restylane and other fillers can be used to change the shape of lips. This is dependent on the skill of your injecting doctor and the porduct used as well as what your lip potential is. You need to be sure that you pick a natural look so that it doesnt look like someone stuck someone else's lips on your face. Usually augmenting your natural shape should be the goal .

Restylane Changing the Shape of One's Lips

Hyaluronic Acid fillers such as Resytlane can change the shape of the lips, depending upon where they are injected. Fillers injected on the outside border of the lip (the "white roll") tends to give a distorted, unnatural appearance. Fillers injected toward the inside - at the wet-dry border - tend to enhance the natural lip shape. Overall, the fillers can be injected in different amounts to different areas to highlight certain features. more

Restylane is great for the lips, but Juvederm is softer

Restylane is a great filler for the lips, though it can be somewhat rigid and not as soft as other fillers in the area. Lips should be tailored according to the person's own. Never attempt looking like a famous actress or celebrity as what might work for them, may not work for you. Lifting the corners is usually a given with every lip augmentation procedure as it gives the lip a younger, more youthful appearing look.

Restylane in the lips

Restylane can definitely alter the shape of your lips to make them more pouty. It all depends on the technique and skill of your injector. The technique can be tailored to each individual, so be very clear on how you want your lips to look. The corners of the mouth can also be lifted with Restylane, and this tends to give a more youthful appearance to the face overall. If you are unsure, ask to see before and after photos.

Restylane to change lip shape

Greetings Princess~ With an experienced injector, you can definitely change the shape of lips as well as volume and get a nice correction for the down-turned areas on the sides of the mouth. By re-supporting the corners of the mouth as well as potentially adding a bit of Restylane to the marionette lines you can achieve a nice result and turn that frown upside down. Creating the proper shape and the look you want is heavily dependent on who is injecting and not necessary what... more
