Is it possible to get “hydrated lip” look without adding noticeable volume at all?

Question

I have quite a full lip already. But they are wrinkly when I wear lipsticks. I do drink plenty of water everyday 2liters or more. What specifically should I ask for and what type of hyaluronic filler could do this if it’s possible? Thank you.

Hi!
if you just want to add hydration there are fillers that are made specifically for that. For example you can use volbella for subtle volume and more hydration, as well as Redensity to soften the lines in the lip.

To achieve a "hydrated lip" look without adding noticeable volume, you can consider a technique known as "lip hydration" or "lip glossing." This involves the use of very soft hyaluronic acid fillers that are specifically designed to improve hydration and smoothness rather than add volume.

When consulting with your dermatologist or aesthetic provider, you can ask for a treatment that focuses on superficial injection techniques using a filler like Restylane Kysse, Juvederm Volbella, or Belotero Balance. These fillers are known for their ability to provide subtle enhancement and improve the texture and hydration of the lips without significantly altering their size.

It's important to communicate your desire for a natural look, emphasizing that your goal is to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and enhance the smoothness of your lips. Your provider can tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring a refreshed and hydrated appearance.

Using a finer filler like Juvederm Volbella or Restylane Fine lines, injected properly by an expert physician (e.g. dermatologist), can result in nice improvement of fine lines or crepiness of the lips without increasing the volume.
