Lip Enhancement Options
For short-term volume enhancement of the lips, an array of temporary soft tissue fillers can be used: Juvederm is made of naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid. It is an injected filler that provides volume and hydration. Because hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body, it does not cause allergic reactions.
Restylane is also a hyaluronic acid filler. It maintains its shape by binding itself to water that is already present in the lips.

Lip filler for thin lips
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a great way to start to augment the lips. They can plump up the upper and lower lips and give a nice projection to the edge of the lips (vermillion border). When done properly, a nice natural volume increase will be seen.

Injectable Fillers in Thin Lips
While injectable fillers is the most common method for lip augmentation, there are limitations to what they can achieve. Thin lips can not be made into full lips by any type of injectable fillers. They can be made better and somewhat fuller but care in injection must be done to avoid an over corrected look. Trying to use injectable fillers to make substantially bigger will create the well known and often described 'duck lip' look. But fillers are a good place to start so...

I Have Very Thin Lips, What Are My Options?
Aesthetically speaking, your lips are thin and the upper extremley thin. Restylane or Juvederm can be used to fill out the lip however, due to the very thin nature of the lips IMO Alloderm Lip Implants would create fuller, more soft, supple lips. Be sure the MD that does your Lip Augmentation understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of naturally, more attractive lips.

Juvederm is the best option for lip augmentation
Juvederm or Restylane are the best options for lip augmentation. The differences between each of the hyaluronic acid gel products include particle size, total concentration, and the extent of cross linking. Restylane has a higher G’ and G’’ than Juvederm. This means that it is a firmer, more viscous gel which can therefore create more lift and volume. In my opinion, a softer gel like Juvederm is more ideal for lips.

Lip fillers are always good to test the results before going to the permanent implants.
Lip fillers such as juvederm/restylane are great temporary fillers to see what size lips you like and how you want them shaped. They are done under local nerve blocks and are easy to undergo for roughly $550/syringe and last roughly 6 months. Sincerely,

Lip Augmentation
There are a couple of options you may want to consider to achieve natural appearing fullness in your lips: 1) fillers which are temporary, but will give you fullness in the upper lip and 2) a lip implant which is reversible. Generally, a hyaluronic is best (e.g. Juvederm or Restylane). Please consult with a board certified surgeon who can best assist you in achieving the results you desire.

Options for thin lips
Some type of hyaluronic acid (Juvederm, Restylane) would be simple and appropriate for improving your lip volume. It is important to remember that your doctor is not simply "blowing up your lips"-- There are very specific landmarks and highlights that are specifically augmented to give a nice attractive look for you. This is very easily done in the office with essentially no down-time.
