Cupid’s bow with lip augmentation - Would it help give me a better shape to my top lip? (photo)

Question

I am thinking of getting lip augmentation. Would it help give me a better shape to my top lip? I feel like my upper lip droops from the sides/corners, will lip augmentation help even that out? Also, the middle part of my upper lip seems to hang lower than the rest of my upper lip, can that be reshaped/fixed?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you would get a nice improvement in shape and contour with lip fillers. Fillers like Volbella can give subtle improvements to lip shape, lift, and definition with only a small amount of volumization. NovaThreads can also be used to improve lift and shape. Fat grafting and surgical implants are alternatives. Technique will be important here, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.  Yes with filler you can create more of a cupids bow giving a nicer shape and better volume to the lips.  All The Best

Tonya Boudreaux, MD · Answer

Yes, absolutely... Looks like you would be a great candidate for lip fillers. When you go to get your appointment, be sure to let your provider know you'd like some cupids bow detailing.  Based on your photos, that would really be an improvement.
Best of luck from sunny California!

My goal with every lip augmentation is to address all the parts of the lip that contribute to creating ideal lips instead of just focusing on one part of the lip. 
Ideal lips have two halves that are identical twin images of each other. Even though most beautiful human faces may not be completely symmetrical, we still find most beautiful lips to be those that are identical twin halves.Top lip has two side pillows starting at the lip corner and ending at the cupid’s bow. Top lip also has a middle pillow that forms the Cupid’s bow. Each of these pillows projects out maximally in its center part.Bottom lip has two pillows with maximal projection at the center of each pillow.Ideally the bottom lip is equal to the top lip or larger than the top lip by a ratio of 1.6181 to 1.The highest point of the cupid’s bow connects to the base of the nose via two columns called the philtral columns. These two columns are not parallel but tilt slightly toward each other.
I suggest that you have a consultation with a physician is an expert in lip augmentation to discuss how your particular lips could be transformed to more beautiful lips. 
Best of luck,

Soft tissue fillers can be used to restore volume lost over time - especially at the outer corners and in the cupids bow. careful placement can restore (or create) a more prominent cupids bow and help to turn up the corners of your mouth. this can be done in a subtle way to enhance your look. 
always seek out an injector who has experience with this area, and who you feel comfortable with
good luck

isel29,Lip augmentation by using fillers help give you a better shape and restore a natural balance to your lips.  Fillers can help accentuate the cupid bow area and "turn up" your lip through definition and adding more volume to the necessary areas.  Best of luck!Dr. Julie Edween

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

A smaller particle HA filler like Restylane Silk would be a great option for your. It would help improve lip definition and also add a small amount of volume to the lips.

I believe when you go to a plastic surgeon, lip augmentation will produce the results you're looking for. It will not only augment the lip but will also enhance its beautiful shape. Good luck for New York City

Let's first assume that you're referring to lip augmentation and using fillers only..Fillers can help give your upper lip volume, and more out turned look and better definition of the Vermillion line. They can also be used in the cupids bow to help give definition though it's hard to create a defined skin crease if you don't have one. it will not bring up the corners of the mouth.  You can try having Botox injected into the  depressor anguli oris muscle. This can potentially help lift the corners of the mouth up. Lip augmentation can help balance the look of the upper lip but it will not shorten the vertical height of the upper lip. Generally most patients benefit from having augmentation to both upper and lower lips to maintain a balanced look. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
