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 your pictures. The best, quick and non invasive option is to inject dermal fillers to augment the upper lip, give you some fullness and to camouflage the distance that way. Another option is to seek upper lip lift, which is surgery and invasive and might leave you with a scar. You should seek an expert consultation in your area. Hope this helps. Best, Dr.Avaliani
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.
Thank you for your question. From your photos, it appears you already have a nice shape and fullness to your lips. However, you can have hyaluronic acid fillers to help improve symmetry. As HA fillers are not permanent you can have them dissolved with hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with the...
Thank you for your question kesaria. I understand your concern. Fillers are used to restore lost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. Having perioral dermatitis is not a contraindication to having fillers in the lips. With any condition recurrence is possible with or without filler ...
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...
