Can lip injections change the shape of my lips?

Question

I have a cupids bow, but not too much of one and I really want rounded lips with an even “duller” cupids bow. Kinda like the desirable cartoon characger lips.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Yes, fillers can change your lip shape and soften your cupids bow.  I always suggest 2 to 3 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart to slowly build volume and let your tissues adapt, rather than putting in too much filler all at once. This way, you will get a better overall change without the "duck-lip" appearance. Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your question. The shape of the lips can easily be changed with use of fillers. See an experienced injector for comprehensive evaluation and guidance. Good luck,

I appreciate your question very much. Yes, lip fillers can change the shape of your lips and Cupid's bow. However, you should see an expert injector and assess your goals with an in person examination and determine whether your goals are realistic. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Yes, lip augmentations with fillers is a great option to improve the fullness, suppleness and symmetry of the lips and can also improve the shape of the lips. Results can be very natural-looking and will feel very natural. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers to discuss your desired results and concerns and go over the cost of your procedure. 
I hope this helps.

Yes, with lip injections you can have the ability to enhance the shape of your lips, adding volume to your pout. This can be very easily done using hyaluronic acid based fillers, which is naturally found in our bodies, such as Restylane or Juvederm. Results are instant and can last up to twelve months. It is important to consult with a board certified dermatologist when considering lip augmentation. Thank you for your question, best of luck to you!

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can absolutely change the shape of your lips with hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane. It is not advisable to inject more than 1 syringe of filler at a time to avoid over correction. You can always add more filler later if necessary. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

You can absolutely change the shape of your lips and add a cupid's bow to your lips to accentuate that area. I do this commonly, especially on patients who have collagen there with aging.  Please consult an expert in lip augmentation for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Lip augmentation with HA filler such as Restylane and Juvederm would be a great option for accentuating your cupids bow! Consult with a specialist and best of luck to you!

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Fillers such as Restylane and Restylane Silk can be used to add volume to the lips, to improve lip asymmetry, to enhance lip shape and to treat perioral lines. I think the best thing for you to do is schedule an in person consultation with a local aesthethic physician to discuss your concerns and to come up with an appropriate treatment plan. Typically, the cupid's bow is a desired aesthethic feature when it comes to the lips and one that many people want enhanced.

Injection of fillers into the lips can shape the lips in almost any way that you wish so see a board certified dermatologist who is experienced in using fillers and discuss with him exactly what you want
