Just watched SALT over the weekend. And so tempted to get injectable fillers after seeing Angelina's full lips. What are the side effects? How long do they last? Does the type of "filler" matter to make lips look natural?
Answer: Lip Fillers
I can't specifically say what Angelina Jolie did or did't have done to her lips, but I can offer some advice on the do's and don'ts of achieving lip fullness.
The most commonly used filler in the lip is Hyaluronic Acid (HA fillers: Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane). Because HA fillers are hydrophilic, they draw body water into the injected area, leading to a smooth, volumized appearance.
However, there are few things less attractive than overdone or poorly done lips. There are several important points in achieving a good result with HA fillers: 1) avoid over-filling (one syringe is adequate for most patients), 2) maintain the balance between the lower lip (which is naturally fuller in most patients) and the upper lip, 3) avoid overfilling of the white roll or vermilion border, 4) remember that the lip should taper in fullness from central to lateral; overfilled lateral (outer) lips give a fish-mouthed appearance, 5) avoid "permanent fillers" or non-FDA approved fillers such as silicone in the lips: what you like today could be your nightmare tomorrow.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lip Fillers Last Three To Four Months Angelina Jolie was born with full lips. I don't know if she has begun enhancing them as she ages. The hyaluronic-acid-based fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Restylane Silk can create natural looking volume and give your lips a more pleasing and harmonious shape. Side effects include slight bruising, soreness, and/or swelling for a few days after the procedure. Juvederm and Restylane usually last about three to four months or more, but this depends on your individual metabolism. Each filler has different properties and consistencies. Which will be right for you depends on your anatomy and your desires. Please consult with a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: Hyaluronic acid products are the most common fillers for the lips
Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to plump up the lips. Examples of these are Juvederm and Restylane. Filling is an art and unartful ip augmentation can distort the mouth and look strange. so make sure that your surgeon does alot of these. Angelina Jolie's lips are definitely "in" but I don't know if they are augmented now. She did have full lips as a child so she might just be lucky.

Answer: Lip Augmentation with Fillers
The nice thing about temporary fillers is that it is temporary. You really do not want a permanent substance in your lip, as with time it will show and you will be able to feel it.
Restylane and perlane are substances that can be injected to obtain volume in the lip and last about 6 months or so.
