It may not seem so, but it is actually not unusual for men to get lip augmentation. Many of them prefer not to disclose this information. Obviously, men have different lip shapes compared to women. Aesthetic standards for men do not include large billowy lips, similar to Angelina Jolie. Instead, men will opt for subtle enhancements & this is another reason why lip augmentation in men is not obvious to most people. The types of fillers than can be used are the same for both men and women. This includes hyaluronic fillers like Juvederm and Restylane. However the quality of the results depend on the ability of the physician to understand aesthetic principles for men and be able to apply the right dosage in the lips to achieve desired results.
Lip augmentation is less common in men, but works well to even out upper and lower lip proportions. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles
Men make up about 10% of plastic surgery patients. When it comes to the lips, the aesthetic is different. Please see a facial plastic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon. They will guide you through this.
This is relatively uncommon in our practice. Lip augmentation tends to give a more feminine appearance to the lip, so one has to be very careful about performing it in (straight) men. We tend to use it more for nasolabial folds, and marionette lines in men, compared to the actual lips themselves.
Recently more men have been showing interest in lip augmentation. There are obviously difference in female lips and male lips and therefore men should find expert injectors who understand the aesthetic differences. Men can benefit from lip injections with Juvederm or Restylane, but your goal should be to achieve results that are very natural looking and not over filled.
