Dear Doctors, I have struggled with “fish lips” all of my life. My top lip protrudes my bottom one. Causing an unattractive profile and lower self-esteem of my already small shaped lips. I’ve recently noticed that the distance from my nasal base to my top lip is far. I am not sure which procedure would be best, could you advise? Thank you.

Answer: Surgical Lip Lift, Botox Lip Flip, or Lip Fillers? What would be best for me? Thank you for sharing your excellent question and photographs. Based on your narrative the best treatment would be careful placement of a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler to help you achieve your goals. This can not only help give the illusion of longer lips by augmenting the corners but can increase the volume of the lower lip relative to the top. A lip lift or flip will only exacerbate your current concerns. Hope this helps.

Answer: Proportions Hi,first of all I want to comfort you by letting you know that lots of patients are paying to get your kind of lips.According to your pictures, I want you to know that sometimes lips don't have equal bone support which could result in uneven balancing between the top and the bottom one, and it looks like you fit in this condition, considering that it looks like that also your chin is not too projected.A consultation with a doctor who specializes in facial injections, whether a surgeon or dermatologist, can explain how to best optimize your smile, your lips, your chin and what would be best to produce a long lasting result that's balanced with the rest of your facial architecture. I would suggest you to start correcting your lips together with the chin (and mental crease) with a filler, in order to make your profile more harmonic.In my practice we collaborate with specialists including cosmetic dentists to provide results that rejuvenate and appear natural. Often a little neurotoxin, such as botox, can relax certain muscles to create a more ideal lip volume and symmetry. Combination injection therapy can usually solve the dilemma you are experiencing. I hope that helps and best of luck.
