Hi Alexie, 

Great question. The nose does not grow with such treatments, however, it may appear to change in shape or size depending on surrounding structures and how full they are. I can speak from personal experience with this, when my lips are filled, my nose appears thinner but, anatomically my nose has not changed. 

In saying this, unfortunately, as we age, collagen and elastin fibres that make up cartilage in our nose break down, causing a stretching, sagging appearance of the nose creating a lengthening appearance. You could demonstrate this by putting two pictures of your grandparent next to one another - one youthful and one older and appreciate the facial changes.

I hope this helps and best wishes for your cosmetic journey. 

Take care and stay healthy.

Hi z4results, yes it is possible to have a treatment called a chemical brow lift using botulinum toxin, the toxin can also be used for migraines and excessive sweating. For the chemical brow lift, it works by relaxing specific muscles around the eye which creates a lifting appearance of the brow. The procedure is quick and easy - around 5 minutes, with minimal discomfort. Results are expected to show after 2 weeks, and will last for a period of 3-5 months. Please ensure that you seek a certified medical practitioner as the placement and dosage of product are very important.

Best of luck x

Hi Alyssa, your lips look great! Yes, lip fillers would help you achieve your desired outcome, however I would point out that while you can have fillers injected into the top lip only, it will temporarily leave the lip looking more inflamed over the recovery period of 1-2 weeks. My advice would be to get both lips injected at the same time, with most of the product going to the top lip.

Best of luck!

Hi Chloe, regarding lip advancement being better, that's down to individual assessment which really requires a full consultation.

Primarily, in most cases lip advancement is a more temporary solution as results tend to last up to 9 months, however it is of course less invasive.

Secondarily, to achieve a pouty lip with lip advancement, it will also depend on the practitioner you're seeing and the experience they've had. Some practitioners may be familiar with a technique called vectoring/tenting which when used in a specific area of the lip, would create the look you're aiming for.

I always recommend seeing a medical practitioner for lip augmentation as knowledge of facial anatomy is crucial.

Best of luck!
