Sounds silly but i'm afraid if I were to get any injections they would look REALLY fake. I can't stand when I see girls get their lips done and they are the same width and height all the way around. That doesn't explain it well but maybe you know what I'm talking about. I'm afraid that because my lips are completely flat with my face that it wouldn't work. what do you suggest? I also considered a nose job because my nose is quite big, and maybe a smaller nose would take the focus off my lips

Answer: Lips too small for lip augmentation or nose too big? You have an interesting perspective regarding your nose's relationship to your lips. Many times I will augment a patient's weak chin when doing a rhinoplasty, when indicated, the combination of procedures works well. The same concept may apply to you, only if you are unhappy with your nose! If not, the simpler alternative is to just augment your lips. For a longer term result, I prefer fat transfer, because in most cases, at least 1/3 of the transferred fat stays permanently, in my hands. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour. A quicker option is fillers, like hyaluronic acid, which last only about 2 months, but if you don't like the look, it eventually goes away. I am not a fan of the longer lasting fillers for the lips because of possibility of migration. Good Luck
