Lisa Rinna's lips!

When you walk into a room, your lips should not enter the room before the rest of your body. I don't know how many of you watched the recent red carpet style show hosted by Lisa Rinna, but her upper lips look like they have growths, especially the upper right corner. Aside from avoiding whomever injected her lips and whatever was put into her poor lips, here are the essentials of sexy, beautiful lips. Sculping lips is an art. The person injecting should have a sense of aesthetics, balance... more

Go for temporary before permanent

I would echo Dr. Persky's sentiment - with a few additional points. In patients who are interested in lip augmentation, there are temporary solutions and permanent ones. Currently there are several permanent solutions for lip augmentation including fat transfer (transferring fat from the belly or thigh to the lips) and silicone or ePTFE implants. I favor fat transfer to implants because fat is the patient's own body material and not a foreign substance which is introduced. This decreases the... more

How to avoid duck lips after lip augmentation

The first thing you need to do is avoid having too much product injected initially. You can always have more product injected if you are not happy with the fullness after the initial injections. But depending on which product is injected, the opposite may not be true. Start small and move up if you need more product. Consider having your practitioner inject the vermilion border (where the edge of the lip meets the skin) instead of just the body of the lip. Many overdone celebrities have a... more

Avoid "done" lips

One tell-tale sign of obivious work done is a bad upper lip augmentation. Traditionally, a bad lip augmentation has this "ducky" look to the upper lip. What causes this look? I feel is it a not paying attention to facial aesthetic and creating facial harmony. The "ducky" lips appear so for several reasons. The major reason is because the upper lip projects too far from the face and lower lip. Facial aesthetics guidelines suggest the ideal upper lip position should be... more

Lip Augmentation with natural results

The key to getting good results with lip augmentation is to observe the following rules: 1) Avoid permanent fillers: The lips are complex 3-dimensional structures which change over the course of a lifetime. Even if you were to get an acceptable result initially with a permanent filler such as silicone, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case. You mentioned Lisa Rinna in your question and she has been very open about the fact that she had undergone silicone... more

One of the tell tale signs of a "bad" result (my...

One of the tell tale signs of a "bad" result (my opinion) is when after augmentation, there is unnatural disproportion between the upper and lower lips (often an over-augmented upper lip). The "norm" is for the upper lip to be less full than the lower lip - according to the "golden proportion" the lower lip should be about 60% fuller than the upper lip (1.6:1, the Fibonacci Sequence). When augmenting the lips it is important to pay attention to the baseline... more

Juvederm or Restylane For Natural Looking Lips

The first thing I would recommend is not getting permanent fillers in your lips simply because there is a lot of movement in the lips and can easily disfigure the silicone implanted, go with Juvederm or Restylane instead. Stay away from silicone in the lip area as well, there are many risk involved in having silicone in or around that area. Even with Juvederm and Restylane, it is best to avoid over enhancement. Those would usually look unnatural. see video

It is rumored that this is the result of silicone injected directly into the lips which is absolutely the wrong way to have your Lips Augmented IMHO.  Permanent injections last forever and silicone has many risks and complications that are well documented and can be found in a simple imnternet search.  Use Alloderm placed inside the lips for Lip Augmentation that's natural lasting about 7 years or use a filler like Restylane or Juvederm along the border of the lips only. more

Natural looking lip augmentation is possible and common

It is always unfortunate when there are "bad-looking" results from fillers as it can scare away the many people whom could really enjoy these treatments. Plastic surgeons are well-trained in "normal", and this is usually what people want to look like, just "better".  In Hollywood there is sometimes  a somewhat different idea of "beautiful", as there are celebrities that purposefully pursue a "hyper-sexualized" appearance... more

Lisa Rinna Lips

Hi, This is an interesting question because she recently had a magazine article in People about how she started with Silicone many years ago for lip augmentation and recently found a plastic surgeon to cut it out.  I would definitely avoid permanent fillers in the lips such as Silicone, implants, Artefill.  The problem with permanent fillers in the lips is that the lips are highly mobile and any reactions to the fillers such as lumpiness or allergic reactions tend to spread... more
