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.
