Do you think a lip flip is needed and will to make my smile look weird?
Answer: Lip Augmentation Candidate -- Injectable Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Fat Grafting to Lips, NovaThreads for Lift Thank you for your question! It's difficult for me to say without a picture or an in-person consultation. I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lip flips and lip fillers Hi there,Thank you for your question! Although lesser-known than lip fillers, a lip flip is a good option for some patients, giving the illusion of a fuller pout. Whether it’s a good choice or not will all depend on the individuals’ natural lips and desired results. In the right hands this procedure should achieve effective yet natural-looking results. Lip fillers are used to add subtle volume to the lips and for first time patients I would err on the side of caution, starting with 0.5ml-1ml and building volume over sessions if necessary. Hope this helps!Best Wishes,Dr. Rupert

Answer: Treating Thin Lips with Filler and BOTOX The main stay for enhancing lips is to add a hyaluronic acid(HA) filler to the lips , such as Juvederm. The advantage of using a HA filler is that if you develop asymetry or a lump, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Some patients may benefit from a little BOTOX placed sparingly along the edge of the lip to add a lip flip. The results will of course vary from patient to patient and if you do not like it will generally wear off in 3-4 months. Many patients start with the fillers and see if that alone accomplishes their goal. Some prefer to do it at the same time.

Answer: Lip treatment Hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used to add volume to the lip. The dose you are starting with is pretty conservative. You can go slowly and add volume until you achieve the look you want. Botox is sometimes used to enhance the look of the lip, but is less predictable than fillers. You may want to begin with the filler. If after two weeks you are dissatisfied you can then consider adding Botox or potentially more filler.

Answer: Lip Flip Hello Charming812009, Thank you for sharing your concerns. Filler is one of the most predictable ways to create fuller lips. The use of neurotoxins like Botox can be used less predictably to create a "lip flip". The two can definitely also be used in combination. It should not make your smile look weird, but it can weaken the pursing of your lips. I hope this is helpful and you are pleased with your results!All my best!Dr. Elizabeth
