Can I get Juvederm at age 15? Male (Photo)

Question

I'm always self-conscious about my upper lip because it's really smaller than my lower lip, what is the youngest age when a male can get lip injections, and how much will it cost? Also would it matter if I have a scar on my upper lip from a burn?

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

I understand your insecurity with your lips, but it is illegal to perform any sort of injections or plastic surgery to a minor without parental consent. I would recommend also waiting a bit, as you age things change and your lips could get larger. As for the cost, it varies per location.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

First, males and females alike can receive fillers like Juvederm, but you cannot receive these without being 18, or having parental consent. And honestly, I cannot imagine a parent giving consent for this. Your top lip should actually be smaller than your bottom lip. About 1/3 to the top and 2/3 to the bottom, which is just about what you have. If you fill only the top lip you will end up with a duck bill lip or trout pout. "This
