Broken up, inconsistent lip-line with no defined cupid's bow... fixable or not? (Photo)

Question

I have a very 'broken' lip line, as in my lip line (particularly my "cupids bow") is not a consistent line that links up, it breaks up on my upper lip. I consistently have to wear lip liner to make it look fuller and like I have a cupids bow at all. How can I fix it? Can fillers fix it (I like my lips otherwise and don't want more volume) or will I need cosmetic tattooing?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Volbella, Restylane, and Juvederm are good fillers to use to create a symmetrical lip. NovaThreads can also be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. Technique will be important here, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for
your question tahliaweir. I understand your concern. Fillers are used to
restore lost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. Fillers such as Volbella can be used to improve the definition of the lips without providing much in terms of volume. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!

Mark S. Wilson, MD · Answer

Volbella is a fantastic filler FDA approved for the lips that can be injected directly into the cupid's bow and lip border to help achieve the look you want. Volbella is a very "soft" filler that will give a subtle look without your lips appearing unnatural. Please book a consultation with an experienced injector in your area for an assessment and treatment plan. Best of luck!
