Can I make my lips this big and if yes what should I do?

Question

Should I do lip lift and filler on the center or V-Y lip lift for bigger lips? I wanted to have a lip lift but I found out that when my teeth are already showing it’s not the best idea and I should go for fillers. So I thought about a lip lift + filler on the center or V to Y lip lift. Should I do it? How can I get bigger lips

I frequently combine a lip lift with injectable fillers to produce the best possible results. You would need an in-person assessment with an examination and measurements to determine whether you would be a good candidate for a lip lift. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate you and design a customized treatment plan based on your precise needs and goals.

Dear Veronicaxx,
I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for a more long lasting result, I recommend fat grafting. That is, using your own bodies fat to make your lips naturally look more shapely. The bonus is that the results last many many years.
In general, I avoid using permanent prosthesis because I find that the lips are such dynamic and sensitive structures, the end result is not natural.
