My lower lip is fat and my upper is thin, what is the solution? (Photos)

Question

Hi ... My lower lip is fat and swollen and my upper lip is slim ... How do I make my lower lip slim and upper lip a little bit swollen...

Joseph J. Castellano, MD · Answer

An injectable filler can augment the contours of your upper lip for a fuller look. I would start there and see how you feel about your results. For the bottom lip, reduction surgery is a possibility, but that's more involved than fillers and may be more correction than you want or need. A consultation with a board certified cosmetic surgeon can give you more information on your options.

With a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm, your upper lip can be volumized, to create more symmetry between the upper and lower lip. You naturally have a beautiful shape to your lips, a small amount of filler will have a big impact. I recommend you see an expert for the best results. Best, Dr P.

Hi and thank you for your question! You have nice volume in your lips. There are precise proportions between the sizes of upper and lower lips and staying close to those proportions ensure the most appealing look. While there isn't much that can be done to reduce the size of the lower lip, we can easily add volume to your upper lip with injection of hyaluronic acid fillers and that will also make the look of both lips more balanced. I hope it helps and good luck!

Filler can be used to create symmetry very easily. I would find an experienced physician to discuss your desires. Good luck with your transformation.

Every single person is asymmetric and the best way to correct lip asymmetry is though a modest amount of hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm.  Juvederm is a great filler for plumping the lips and should give you the balance that you want wit the correct placement and technique.  Best, Dr. Green

Ralph Massey, MD · Answer

The theoretical "ideal" proportion is to have your upper lip two thirds the fullness of your lower lip. What is ideal for you will vary based on the proportions of the rest of your face and your own aesthetic desires. I would not do anything to your lower lip. It is full, attractive and normal. I think the only reason it may seem "swollen" to you is in comparison to its skinny neighbor, your upper lip. The solution is simple. enhance the fullness of your upper lip until a more satisfying proportion is achieved. This can safely and relatively simply achieved with injectable fillers such as Restylane or Juvaderm.
I hope this helps
