I have very thin upper lip. What can I do? (Photo)

Injectable fillers can help enhance the size and shape of your upper lip while still looking and feeling completely natural. If you're interested in a longer-term solution, fat transfer to the lips or lip implants are both excellent alternatives to temporary dermal fillers. Price will vary depending on your location, the surgeon you choose and the product or treatment you opt for.

You should start out with 1cc of juvederm filler or restylane filler and go from there. You do not want to overdo too much filler in the lips. It also depends on the look you are going for too. You can always add more filler to the lips if needed. Just remember if you are going to do your lips and you do not want to bruise you should not take any aspirins or anything that will thin the blood since brusing can occur. One syringe is typically $550

If you want a natural-looking enhancement to give more shape and volume to your upper lip, Volbella is an excellent choice. It has a thin, honey-like consistency that feels soft. It will be just enough to bring more balance to your lips. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will let you learn more about Volbella and find out how it can help you.

With an experienced provider, lip augmentation with a hyaluronic acid filler (frequently Juvederm Ultra Plus) can look and feel quite natural.  Prices vary with geography, by practitioner, and depending on the filler of choice.  Search out an expert injector for a formal consultation, and best of luck.

Several of the HA fillers such as Belotero and Restylane Silk provide a very natural appearance for lip enhancement. Be sure you choose an experienced injector so that the ideal proportions  are maintained between the upper and lower lips.

It seems that you would be an excellent candidate for lip augmentation with an experienced injector to improve the volume of your upper lip. Make sure you discussed your case with an expert and consider the possibility of HA fillers such as Restylane Silk/Refyne and Juvederm Volbella/Vollure for a really natural look, without overfilling the lips.  Best of luck!

 An expert injector will be able to give you a lip augmentation that looks natural, not swollen. The ideal proportion for the lower to upper lip is 3:2. A board-certified dermatologist will help you achieve that with a hyaluronic-acid based filler such as Belotero or Restylane Silk.

There are many filler options for you. Prices vary depending on the injector and practice. In my practice, we use belotero/ juvederm or restylane silk to add volume to the lips. Good luck and please find an experienced injector.
