Shouldn't I only get lip filler in top lip to get it even with lower? (Photos)

Hi there. So, I understand your concerns with your lips. You can always do the upper lip in your initial appointment and follow up with your provider after 2 weeks of healing, reassess and see if you still need a little on the bottom. Beauty is subjective, however most injectors will recommend your bottom to remain slightly fuller then the top as this is a more natural enhancement. Review pictures of their work and see if their before and afters coincide with your beauty goals. If so, its important to trust their expert opinion while still making your goals clear with your provider.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. I’m a little confused by your photos, but it appears to be you would benefit from your doctor’s plan. Fortunately, if you are not pleased with the results the filler can be dissolved quickly. Make sure to be treated by an experienced expert injector.
Good luck!

Hello,

Thank you for your question and for sharing your concerns about lip fillers. It's understandable that you want to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.

When considering lip fillers, it's important to maintain the natural proportions and harmony of your face. The "golden ratio" you mentioned is a guideline that helps ensure the lips look balanced and natural. Typically, the ideal ratio is where the bottom lip is slightly fuller than the top lip, often described as a 1:1.6 ratio.

While it might seem logical to only add filler to the top lip to balance the size, a skilled injector may recommend adding a small amount to the lower lip as well. This can help maintain the natural proportions and ensure that the overall appearance remains harmonious. Adding a tiny amount to the lower lip can also help avoid an exaggerated look where the top lip might appear too prominent compared to the lower lip.

It's great that your injector plans to mainly enhance the top lip while adding just a bit to the lower lip. This approach can help achieve a more balanced and natural look from both the front and side profiles.

Ultimately, it's important to trust your injector's expertise and communicate your concerns and desired outcomes clearly. A thorough consultation and a tailored approach will help you achieve the most satisfying results.

Injecting lip filler has an art aspect to it. You want the lips to be aesthetically pleasing but also to be harmonious with the rest of your facial features. You can have filler only in the top if you'd like, but your injector may see areas that would benefit from a little filler on the bottom lip to improve the overall shape. This is why it is so important to visit with an experienced injector.
