Just plumping up the upper lip will dramatically improve your look overall.
Plumping up the upper lip is so easy and will dramatically improve your overall look so much that you probably won't want or need your lips widened at all. Lip implants are $1500-2000 for the upper lip and are easy to put in and natural looking.

Upper lip augmentation
Augmenting a lip is an artistic endeavor. It is not just a matter of pumping up the lip indiscriminately. Rather, the doctor should consider which portions of the lip should be augmented.

Upper lip aesthetics
It is easy to add fullness to the upper lips especially with fillers like Restylane. Widening the mouth would necessatate scars which you wouldn't want to have. As Dr. Aldea said, these procedures are usually reserved for reconstructive cases like burns where the mouth has been injured and the opening is smaller than ideal.

Upper Lip Fullness
The Upper lip can be made fuller with a variety of fillers and implants - with a variable degree of success. Widening the mouth is an unusual request. It is usually done in reconstructive surgery as correction for burns affecting the corners of the mouth. It is possible but on close inspection will be functional but far from cosmetically pleasing.
