I'm african american and my lips aren't small but they lack plumpness/fullness. My upper lip is relatively thin and my lips are "flat". I'd like sexier and poutier lips. Which filler gives the most natural results in younger patients?

Answer: Options for a Plump Pucker Hi there, browneyed. Different fillers yield different results on different patients. JUVÉDERM, Restylane, and Restylane's cousin, Perlane, are all hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers that may be used in the lips. Although they have the same active ingredient, there are subtle differences between them, mostly related to the sizes of their HA particles. Your doctor will evaluate your lips and make a sound recommendation for you based on your anatomy. Ultimately based on the product selected, the treatment site identified, the quantity of product used, and the skilled and artistic eye of your injector, you should receive a natural-looking and beautiful result. Be sure to seek out a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has plenty of experience with lip augmentation. For a truly natural result, don't rule out fat grafting, either. This procedure uses your own fat (typically taken from somewhere such as your abdomen or thigh) and transplants it to the lips. Invest in a consultation to obtain a plan and assess the talent of your injector before getting started. Best of luck!

Answer: Lip Augmentation It's not as much about the product as about the artistry and experience of the injector. I prefer Juvederm in the lips and feel it lasts longer with a very natural correction (Ultra plus when I am looking for more volume and Ultra for just definition) but what is really essential is that you seek out an experienced injector who can discuss their vision for your lips.
