Could lip injections correct my wide Cupid's bow? (Photo)

Question

My Cupid's bow is very wide, and my upper lip sits a little low for my liking. Would lip injectibles like Belotero or Restalyne Silk be able to achieve the look I've mocked up in the bottom of the attached photo? (My current lips are shown on top, and photoshopped desired look on bottom.) Thanks for your help!

This can easily be done with fillers and is best for you to see an experienced injector who can contour and shape rather than just increase size.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photos. Unfortunately, fillers cannot be used to narrow the upper lip Cupid's bow.  Best wishes

Dr. Edward Dickerson highly recommends Belotero for correcting a wide cupid's bow and for shaping the lips.

Thank you for your post.As you volumize, the width is not likely to get smaller, but much well defined, especially iif it is expertly injected at the vermillion border as well as for volume enhancement - two different techniques.Seek an expert who can discuss this with you before injections are done.Best,Dr. Karamanoukian
