I'd like to enlarge the size of my upper lip as I imagine it may look more aesthetically pleasing. I would also like to fix the asymmetry in my upper lip.
Answer: Lip reshaping surgery You would be an excellent candidate for a 3D lip lift (an ameliorated version of the traditional lip lift which results in less scarring and a better long lasting outcome), a medialized external corner lip lift (this surgery is as important as a lip lift and not only elevates the corners of the mouth but increases the red lip visible on either end of the upper lip. It also decreases any displeasing downward slope the upper lip takes as measured from its center) as well as a lower V-Y.

Answer: Improving Lip Volume with Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Implants, Fat Most doctors will start with one-syringe to avoid overfilling. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO NovaThreads can also be used to improve shape and also provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lip Lift and Augmentation Hello, hope you are well. You have a relatively small amount of vermilion (pink) upper lip showing which causes it to appear thin, especially in comparison to your lower lip. In line with your aesthetic vision for a more attractive/pleasing appearance, a combined lip lift with augmentation can increase the lip volume and amount of vermilion lip showing, and correct asymmetries. A soft silicone implant or dermal graft (favored if undergoing lip lift) can be used for augmentation. Lip filler is also an option, but it is not permanent, and requires repeat injections periodically to maintain the volume. It also cannot change the inherent shape/dimensions of your lip.

Answer: Start with filler It would be my advise to start with a filler. If you like that result (I would suggest doing both upper and lower lip augmentation), you may continue that for few years. I am not sure that lip lift would be my first choice. Hope this helps.
