Answer: Lip Augmentation Candidate -- Injectable Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Fat Grafting to Lips, NovaThreads for Lift I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lip shape From your photos filler would be the best option to address your lip shape concerns. You can consider more permanent treatments, but at least trying the filler first will let you know if you can achieve the look you are wanting.

Answer: Weird upper lip - what are my options besides Lip Fillers? Thank you for your pictures! I would recommend doing a consultation in person to get a better look at your concern. However, it does appear that lip filler would be the best option to give you the results your are looking for as far as evening out the upper lip. Any other surgeries would be invasive. Good luck!

Answer: Lip augmentation Dear Independent262652, I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for a more long lasting result, I recommend fat grafting. That is, using your own bodies fat to make your lips naturally look more shapely. The bonus is that the results last many many years. In general, I avoid using permanent prosthesis because I find that the lips are such dynamic and sensitive structures, the end result is not natural.

Answer: Permanent results Surgery Injections such as fillers and neurotoxins (botox/dysport) will be temporary and would need to get re-done throughout your life to fully maintain your results. You should do research on a "lip lift" (surgical) because it would give you the permanent results that you're looking for while giving you more upper-lip. Filler is not the only option; if you're still interested in non-surgical look into "lip-flips" which are the "non-surgical version" of a lip-lift (completed through neurotoxin injections) but results are temporary.
