Lip implants or lip lift? (Photo)

SoapysoapAug 12, 2022
I have a very thin upper lip— practically no vermillion border shows. I am looking for a permanent solution for my lips, so I do not want fillers. What would yield the best results? I want proportional lips and a top lip, especially when I smile. I really like Millie Bobby Brown’s lips, but I don’t think that would be attainable for me. Either way, I appreciate any feedback or advice.

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...

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You may benefit from a lip lift and it can be combined with fat...
