which procedure would help target narrow, asymmetrical lips? (photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. Dermal fillers can add volume to the lips while creating a more symmetrical shape that is harmonious with the rest of your facial features. These hyaluronic acid formulas can provide a rejuvenated and volumized appearance that may last for up to a year or more, depending on the formulas used. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can review your concerns and suggest the best option for you.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Lip fillers can help with asymmetry. You can go slowly and build up to the look you are wanting. I encourage you to visit with an expert injector to discuss your concerns. She/He can help with suggestions to bring your facial contours into better harmony.

The skilled use of appropriate HA fillers to enhance the body of the upper lip, as well as the vermilion borders of the angles of the mouth, as well as to add body to the angles can help to harmonize the proportion between the upper and lower lips and to widen the mouth. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

Dear auroraj4ne,
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.
