Which procedures would help me to create heart shape lips? (Photo)

Question

Hello. I am 39 year old female. I had juvederm injected to lips ( my photo on the left side) Not happy with the results. What can i do next time to achieve the heart shape lip of the right photo. Thank you very much

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend switching to a different filler that is finer and best for delicate areas like the lips such as restylane silk.  The result also depends on the skill of the injector.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Unless you have a similar shaped upper lip as the goal photograph, it is impossible to change the shape of your lip to match.  Overall volume can be enhanced, and your lips own curves can be accentuated, but it is difficult to know what shape your upper lip will resemble since the recent injections to your upper lip are altering its natural appearance.  See a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation.

Shaping your lips and volumizing them are two entirely different operations.  A technician can augment (inject), but only an artist can shape and sensualize.  Find an artist for your next treatment, and bring the pix you've posted here.

Injecting the lips with hyaluronic fillers such as juvederm, restylane or belotero to give the heart shaped lips can be achieved with the "paris lips" technique by accentuating the cupids bow.
