My mouth is too small. What can be done to widen it?

Question

In proportion to the rest of my face, my mouth is not wide enough and my lips are too thin. What can be done to widen my mouth?

Nikesh K. Patel, MD · Answer

Interesting Question.   If you were looking to make your lips fuller and more supple I would recommend a filler.  It can make your lips look larger and more symmetric.  Depending upon your anatomy you may be able to make your mouth appear wider but that can only be determined when you are examined.  Fillers are generally a great solution because they are quick and easy with minimal bruising especially if you go to a physician that uses blunt cannulas like I do in my office.  I suggest you  make an appointment with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and options.Best of luck!

You can certainly consider a dermal filler like Restylane Refyne or Defyne for your thin lips. However, you need a formal consultation to make a diagnosis for you and then to determine the best course of action. Best wishes. Dr. ALDO

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Without a picture it is very difficult to give an exact recommendation. However, filler can help enhance the mouth area, making the lips appear wider and more full. Please consult with a local physician in person to determine the best course of action for your concerns. Good luck!

Lip augmentations with fillers is a great option to improve the fullness, suppleness and symmetry of the lips. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers. 
I hope this helps.

Dear MartinLoufa,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking dermal filler are a great option for lip augmentation. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
