I think that I want an HA from reading on RealSelf and in my upper lip only. I have read varying answers to how long these will last; some said up to one year. Can these actually change the shape of my upper lip, considering that I don't have much of one to begin with? I would really love big lips but know that they maybe wouldn't go with my face (that's why I added a picture). If someone really good does them, can they last a long time, change my shape and be big but go with my face?

Beautiful shapely lips are easier than you think!

Fillers do great at changing shapes and can last 6-9 months on the average for rougly $550/syringe but Lip Implants give that permanent improvement. We can even do both fillers and implants together to accomplish those gorgeous lips. Lip implants are easy to put in and done under local anesthesia in under 20 minutes and can be removed easily if you wish. They run roughly $1500-2000 per implant and you can drive yourself and go to work the next day although you will have some... more

Upper Lip Augmentation with HA fillers like Juvederm

The primary benefit of HA fillers like Juvederm and Restylane is that they give natural looking results.

Results for these fillers can last up to a year. But this can vary depending on how fast the fillers are absorbed by the patient’s body. There are different injection zones on the lip which can be enhanced to... more

Upper Lip Augmentation: Kissable, Long-lasting and Change my Shape?

Good points and questions. IMHO there is a strict aesthetic proportion of full, attractive lips that must be met when using fillers or lip implants for lip augmentation. From the photos, fillers like Restylane or Juvederm can be used to improve the size and shape of your upper lip but an Alloderm Lip Implant would be far superior in increasing the size of that lip. Lip fillers last between 6 and 9 months while Alloderm lasts about 7 years. Be sure that the MD... more

Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers can last more than a year

I have seen results from lip enhancement injections with hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm or Restylane) last for two to three years but it will vary from person to person. These fillers are used to increase volume or replace lost volume. They can 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.... more

Lip augmentation

The general shape of your lip will stay the same but the lips over all volume can be augmented and varied according to your goals. The HA fillers can last 6 months to a year.
