Would lip injections make my lips more symmetrical? (Photo)

Question

I have an overbite and I want my lips to be more symmetrical, poutier, but still have a natural appearance. Would lip injection make me look weird or would it look nice? Also what is the cost of such a procedure? I am thinking about juvederm or restylane. Just for reference, I am 22 years old and have never had any cosmetic work done. Thank you in advance for the help.

Dear satii007,Lip injections can help plump the lower lip a little more than the upper lip for a balanced lookIf there are asymmetries in the lips, I have found several techniques that can help outI would also suggest Juvederm instead of Restylane because you will notice more of an effect with just one syringeAverage prices vary from 500-1000, and although price is a factor, there is an art to the injection and you want to make sure that your results look naturalCheck out before and after photos for an idea of nice looking lipsBest,Dr Nima

If done correctly, lip filler injections can correct asymmetries, sometimes for years. Lip fillers can be precisely performed to evert the lip and cause it to appear lifted. As this is an advanced technique, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

Hi, based upon the attached photos lip augmentation using a dermal filler (I perefer Restylane, restylane Silk or Juvederm) could make the lips more symmetric as well as full and pouty.  Hope this helps.

it's really hard to tell if you have  any asymmetry since you  are smiling in the picture. In general symmetry is hard to achieve though you would think it would be easy. Just making the lips bigger minimizes some asymmetry in size, but if you look hard you swill still see some especially in the height of the lips
