Will filler/other injectable or Botox give me this type of lip lift/enhancement? (Photos)

Question

Thanks. Also risks of each and how frequently need to carry out the treatments I'm interested in non fillers like botox if that's possible to get similar upper lip as attached photos. Would fillers cause you to show less upper teeth? (I already don't show enough upper teeth as I'd like).

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Volbella, Restylane, and Juvederm are good fillers to use to create a symmetrical lip. NovaThreads can also be used to improve lift and shape. 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. because of the pictures you attached and how you are "lifting" your lip doing a lip flip is a great place to start to see if those results are enough for you. If youd like more volume as well as your top lip to roll out a bit more id recommend doing lip fillers and a lip flip

Hello, thank you for your question and photographs! Based on the information you provided, you may be a great candidate for lip injections. I recommend an in person evaluation with an Expert Cosmetic Injector. They will take a closer look at your lip anatomy and determine if you will achieve your desired result using lip injections. Typically lip filler lasts about 1 year, while Botox lasts about 3 months. Lip filler gives more volume and adds fullness, while Botox is used to relax a "gummy smile" or flip your lip so it appears lifted. Hope this helps!

Hello,
If botox is injected into the right muscles, it will help with a gummy smile and also does lip enhancement. Normally you need around 4-6 units for the gummy smile and about the same for the lip flip. You have to go to an experienced certified injector who can give you the right advice.
