What is recommended to help recreate fuller lips after getting dentures? (Photo)

Question

Due to hereditary problems with my teeth and gums I had all my upper teeth extracted and got a top set of dentures at age 35. I've now had my dentures for 6 months and can see a noticeable change in the fullness of my upper lip. In doing some research it appears this is something injectable fillers and/or other lip augmentation may be able to help with. I was wondering what are the possible recommendations in such a situation and what is the general range of costs associated with this?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a full and symmetrical lip. Nova threads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert to go over your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

carolinagirl103.   I appreciate your issue.   I would recommend conservative lip augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid,  like Juvederm Ultra plus. Another option is fat transfer which is more permanent. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, Good Luck!

Thanks for your question- Lip filler is excellent for adding volume to the lips. Created from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occuring sugar in your skin, the material attracts water to itself and results in increased volume. Lip filler will help your lips look full and may aid in what you're facing. I'd recommend seeing someone very comfortable with this procedure to ensure a natural outcome. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb

Lip augmentations with fillers would be a great option to improve the fullness, suppleness and symmetry of the lips. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Cost will vary and can be discussed at your consultation.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Dermal fillers are an excellent method of improving your lip volume and can be tailored/adjusted to best meet your goals.  I would advocate for a hyaluronic acid based material such as Juvederm Vollure/Ultra Plus, or Restylane Defyne.  Costs will vary but you can anticipate 500-1000+ depending on the amount of filler needed.  Hope this helps.
