Is there a filler that can lift the vermilion border on the upper lip without adding volume to the pink part of the lip? If so, which filler is ideal? Wanting to avoid a fake, duck-bill look. Trying to get the look of a subtle gull-wing lip lift but with filler.

Answer: Vermillion border lift and definition The answer is not in the filler choice of which any number would be fine to use. Juvederm Ultra, restylane silk, belotero, perlane are just a few that would be excellent to use. The real concern here is the surgical injector ( doctor ) that is doing the work. Quality injectable (fillers) work is not anywhere as easy as many think. The ability to solve a patients concerns and get a natural looking result takes both experience and real artistry. You can enhance the vermillion border and not add fullness to the body of the lip, or cause the lip to protrude too much....but it takes both experience and a good eye from the surgeon. Have the surgeon show you examples of his work, and even before and afters of his other surgical procedures to get the confidence that he is the right person for the job.

Answer: Enhancing the Lip's Vermillion A number of fillers will accomplish what you desire. However, as Dr. Rueck said, it is not the filler but the injector. Use of blunt canulas rather than sharp needles also helps, again the injector. Make sure whomever you choose is an expert injector and very experienced in use of fillers.
