Lip lift for the long upper lip. this will give you a shorter lip. The red can be increased with fat grafting. See a very experienced surgeon for this. Financing is available.
Thank you for your question. Candidates for lip enhancement include individuals in need of lip reconstruction or improving the lips that show signs of aging. In fact, lip enhancement is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures by female patients. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn more about the fillers available to you. You can also discuss cost and payment plans.Best wishes,
The hyaluronic-acid based fillers such as Belotero, Volbella and Restylane Silk can be used to subtly change the shape of your upper lip, revealing more of the vermillion (red part) to give your Cupid's Bow a rounder and fuller shape. This takes a great deal of skill, so you must take your time to find an expert near you. Although you can search for costs of lip augmentation in your area online and by using this site, consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will give you a better idea of the price. The best practitioners often cost a bit more. However, most can work with you to arrange a payment plan.
Hello and thanks for this question.Fillers are the answer. Filler in the columns and cupid's bow themselves will give the appearance of a shorter upper lip in most patients. Adding volume to the red part of the lip will make this look bigger and proportionally reduce the width of the white part of the lip.Your last resort would be lip shortening with surgery.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
Thank you for your question and photos. I would recommend starting with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in lips. They should be experienced in multiple modalities of treatments such as fillers, fat grafting and permanent lip implants. They would be able to make an assessment and provide useful options for your concerns. Good luck.
You would get a nice improvement with lip fillers. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO Nova threads can also be used to improve shape and provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent alternative. Cost will vary, but I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Dear memoshow,you might get good results with upper lip augmentation. I use Juvederm and I am extremely satisfied with the results I get. Although it won't change the area above your upper lip, it will give you completely different appearance of your lips. I would suggest you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Thank you for sharing your question. The least invasive method of treatment would be the use of dermal fillers to help augment the size of your upper lip. Though this will not directly affect your Cupid's bow length it should aid in camouflaging it. Alternatively you can perform a lip lift procedure to decrease your Cupid's bow length but you need to understand scar creation/placement related issues. Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon.
Your upper lip is thinner than the ideal proportion we like to see, which is an upper lip that is about 2/3 the size of the lower. I think you would be pleased with the improvement you can get with a hyaluronic-acid based dermal filler such as Volbella or Restylane Silk. These will give your upper lip more volume and a softer, more youthful shape. A fuller upper lip will make your philtrum look slightly thinner. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in lip augmentation will get you the best results.
Your first and only good choice is going to be a lip lift. Long philtrums can not be significantly reduced by injectable fillers, they primarily make the vermilion of the lip fuller. Depending upon how you feel about the sides of your upper lip, you may also consider a upper lip vermilion advancement.
I have had very good success treating lip symmetry using combinations of Botox, Fillers, and Skin tightening with lasers, micro needling or radio frequency. Other options would be surgical and/or fat grafting. Be sure to consult with a facial specialist. Best Regards Dr. Weiss
mwc520. Astute question. Cannulas have blunt tips, but still need needle or pointy scalpel to pierce skin to allow penetration into lip. Once in, blunt tip causes less trauma, but injection of filler also causes trauma and swelling. Primary advantage of cannula is avoidance of penetr...
The timing of the appearance of these purple spots is unusual; I would recommend that you schedule an appointment with whoever performed your injections. It is not likely to be bruising or tindel effect.
Hi and thank you for sharing your question and picture! We can use hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume to the lips, as well as creating better defined lips. It would be best to see some pictures from prior to your lip injections, to see if the dip you are mentioning...
Hi and thank you for sharing your question! It would be best to see pictures of your own lips to be able to give a more precise answer, but in general, while no face is 100% symmetrical, most lip asymmetries are best corrected with hyaluronic acid filler injections. The treatment is quick with...
