Can Lip Fillers B Used to Lift the Cupid's Bow and Top Lip?

Yes, lip fillers can indeed be used to actually raise the
cupids bow. I have included a video of a patient where this was done with
Juvederm. Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid which helps to add volume to the
lips. But doctors can employ different strategies to help refine their contours
as well.



The patient is quite explicit in stating how she wanted her
lips to look as natural as possible. Although highly plump lips (with a
flattened cupid’s bow) seem to be a popular choice, this does not have to be
the norm. Some people (like yourself) want to enhance the shape of the cupid’s
bow outline.



If you look at the before images, you will see that the
upper lip is quite thin and flat. But after the procedure, she has a prominent
and well defined cupid’s bow. The placement of the injection filler makes a big
difference in the shape of the overall results.

Pictures would help  - A filler cannot shorten the distance from the philtrum and cupids bow. Fillers can improve the contour of the philtrum and cupid's bow. If your unsure about the exact size and shape of the upper lip region as many patients are, I would suggest computer morphing to allow you to see what your lips could look like without actually doing any surgery. Pictures are taken of your lips and then altered with computer technology. Once you have a consistent goal regarding size and shape confirmed, you may consider receiving a filler to "see" if you like your new look. If you changed your mind after living with larger lips, don't worry, the fillers will go away. If you are happy with the result, you can have a lip augmentation with a more permanent solution. 
Hope this Helps.

Dear Emmy2,


Lip Fillers can be used to lift that area

It is hard to create a cupid's bow if you do not have one already

Please see an experienced injector to get a better idea of what your lips could look like
