Already full lips, can injections help fix this? Lips are full but I feel they are off balance. (Photos)

Question

When I don’t smile I look like I’m about to cry, my lips a full but I feel they off balance with my face. Could lip injections help give me a less depressed, balance out look?

Elliot M. Heller, MD · Answer

You should start out with 1cc of juvederm filler or restylane filler and go from there. You do not want to overdo too much filler in the lips. It also depends on the look you are going for too. You can always add more filler to the lips if needed. Just remember if you are going to do your lips and you do not want to bruise you should not take any aspirins or anything that will thin the blood since brusing can occur. One syringe is typically $550

Matthew Richardson, MD · Answer

Lip fillers can be used to improve fullness and correct asymmetries within the lips. Additionally, fillers and Botox can be used to alter the corners of the mouth to create a more up-turned appearance. These are advanced injection techniques. Be sure to see an expert physician injector.
All the best,

Yes, lip fillers (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) can be used to improve balance. You'll want to see someone meticulous. Nova threads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert to go over your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane for lip augmentation can help improve balance. I do not advise having more than 1 syringe injected at a time as to avoid overcorrecting. You can always add more filler if needed. Also, if you are not happy with your results the filler can be dissolved with and an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question. The best option for you is to sit face to face with a very experienced injector and get honest feedback on what your concerns are; the expectations you have and what the options are that are likely to improve your concerns.
Thanks and good luck.
