Lip fillers / tooth show?

mollywilson5Jan 5, 2017
Hi doctors, my question: can lip fillers be used to increase tooth show? Like a non surgical lip lift? I already have a little bit of 'tooth show' and I want a very subtle increase in volume and to increase tooth show slightly. My worst scenario: after lip fillers lips completely cover teeth. Can this be avoided? Thank you. I can't have a surgical lip lift as then I would look ridiculous - bugsy - so I have been told anyway.

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your lip augmentation.  I tell patients to wait until the swelling from the first set of injections has resolved prior to pursuing additional augmentation, normally about 2 weeks.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Based on your goals I would recommend conservative placement of a thin hyaluronic acid filler, such as Volbella.  This will help augment your lip size incrementally, while maintaining a natural look.

There is no treatment that is fully effective for these spots. They are normal glands on the lips. Lasers and/or microneedling/prp may give some improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
