I appreciate your question.

I would recommend fillers, botox and possible chin implant to enhance your profile.  I have an office in Beverly Hills if I can be of assistance.

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!

I would consider chin implant, fillers, your dentition, and your smile (not shown). Lips are part of the face, and must be evaluated in context with surroundings.  Projecting the chin would de-project your lips visually, and masculinize your proportions.

These issues can be addressed fairly easily with fillers. Remember to choose the doc carefully because this is the most important choice to get a great result. If you shop around based on price you will most likely not be happy.

The lips themselves seem fine from these photos. It's the expression due to a combination of a receding chin and drooping corners of the mouth that could be improved. A chin implant and Botox to the depressors of the corners of the mouth could be considered as could a bilateral corner lip lift.
