Are my lips considered as big or medium-sized lips? Should I get a lip job? (Photos)

Thank you for your question. Your lips seem full, however, it is difficult to tell if they are big or medium-sized without viewing a front and side profile picture of your entire face. Keep in mind that your facial features work in conjunction with one another. I suggest that you move forward with a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon, however, it is important that any decision for a cosmetic procedure - surgical or non-surgical - be founded in your desire and yours alone. Best wishes,

Thanks for the question and photos. My preference for most patients is to use Juvederm to augment the lips. Restylane is another option, though it can feel slightly firmer than Juvederm. Based on your photos, your lips look normal and balanced as is. However, a conservative amount of Juvederm Ultra XC (one 1 mL syringe or less) in the upper and lower lip would be reasonable, if you are seeking fuller and pouty looking lips. The key to achieving natural appearing results is to keep the upper and lower lips balanced and not inject too much volume of filler. Injection in the right areas of the lips is important as well. 

Best regards,

Dr. Mehta

The decision for lip augmentation is dependent on the look you'd like to achieve. Fillers, (Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a fuller lip. Please see an expert for an evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.The decision to enhance your lips is something only you can decide. If you think it is something you would like to pursue, I would suggest something temporary like Juvederm. You can start gradually and see if you like it.  If you like the results of Juvederm and want to go for something more permanent there are other options. I would suggest contacting a PS in your area, to discuss your options in person. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  The decision to pursue any aesthetic procedure is up to the individual and depends on your desired goal outcomes.  Instead of deciding whether your lips are big or medium sized determine if you'd like to subtly enhance your lip appearance.  If you do, see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss your treatment options.  Hope this helps.

While your lips are full, you may wish to consider dermal fillers to provide to meet desired proportions. Consult in person with an expert and experienced physician injector to understand your options.

Thank you for your question.

You appear to have full lips in the photo but it is difficult to tell without seeing the proportions to the rest of your face.  Best to have an in person consultation before pursuing alteration to the lips.  

Hello, and thanks for your question and photos. Your lips are fairly full, but you are a candidate for lip augmentation with a hyaluronic acid filler if you so desire. In order to determine the best treatment plan for you, I recommend an in-person consultation with an expert. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.   

Thank you for your inquiry and for sharing photos of your lips. As for having lip augmentation or not...the choice is yours! You would benefit from a small amount of lip filler to your top lip for some more fullness. Results will last 9 - 12 months. Be sure to always see a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  The decision to undergo lip augmentation is a personal one.  Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a conservative lip augmentation with a dermal filler such as Juvederm.  Beautiful and natural results can be achieved.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
