Is it possible to show more of the red lip with lip injections? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I have slight asymmetry in my top lip,right side is smaller than left (pic 1). My dermatologist said that she can make my lips fuller but its not possible to show more of the red lip with injections. I would like to hear more opinions about it and also how many ml do I need to achieve look on pic 2. Should it better be done in two steps few weeks apart? Thank you!

Thank you for your question.Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a good option for lip fullness and shape. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Fillers for the lips such as belotero, restylane or juvederm can make the pink or red part to the lips look more pronounced temporily as can the more permanent lip implants as well.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

I have used fat to make the red area of the lip much fuller. Having said that I would advise you to leave your lips alone as they look gorgeous the way they are. You always take the chance of some irregularity  . I have not had complications using this procedure after 35 years of doing this and find it more effective with almost 0 complications than fillers.
