Lip Augmentation: Different Techniques for Different Shapes of Lips?

  I agree with the last doctor.  I think that lip augmentation can be tailored to fit your desires when using injectable fillers.  There is no right or wrong way to inject.  The good doctor will listen to the patient's desires and adjust his/her technique accordingly.

No two set of lips is identical and therefore there is no injection technique that would work for everyone. That's why the consultation is such an important part of your treatment by a board-certified dermatologist. He or she will look at the anatomical structure of your lips plus learn about the effects you would like to produce with a dermal filler such as the hyaluronic-acid-based Juvederm. 
Their knowledge of aesthetics and anatomy allows them to determine where the injections should go and how much product to use. Ideally, the overall effect should look very natural and be in harmony with the rest of your face. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise in lip augmentation for the best and most natural-lookng results.

The technique used for a lip augmentation really depends on the individual circumstances of the patient.  For filling the lips, I like to use Juvedem. It is very soft, and yields a great looking and natural result.  A physician who is experienced with filler will be able to tailor the procedure to your individual needs.  I would recommend choosing a board certified physician that has a great deal of experience. Thank you and I hope this helps.

Dear Julia,

Everyone has different asymmetries in their lips from left to right, and upper to lower.  A great injector listens to their client and can advise what your lips can look like if you put the filler within the locations of your concern.  I frequently inject more or less filler depending on where it is needed.  Our goal is to make your lips look great and natural because you are our walking advertisement.  Try a consultation to get all of your specific questions answered.  I have found that lip enhancement has one of the highest satisfaction rates when done properly.

Best,

Lip augmentation for shape is best done with Juviderm and not with fat, etc. this should be done very conservatively.
