Can Restylane Lyft be used to plump up the lips?

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 with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I would not recommend Lyft in the lips due to the dense nature of the injectable.  For lips, I prefer to use fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm to achieve a softer, more natural result.  Lyft has mid-face indication and is a really nice product to contour and lift the cheeks.  Number of syringes required will vary based on the patient's individual needs and goals-- I always advise patients to go for optimal correction simply because I know it will give them the result they will be most pleased with in the long run. 

Lyft is a dense hyaluronic filler which is not the best choice for lips which require a softer filler such as Juvederm, Volbella, or Silk.

Thank you for your question. Restylane Lyft can be used in the lips, however, Restylane and Restylane Silk are typically recommended for the lips due to their smaller particle size. However, Restylane Lyft is wonderful in the cheek area. I typically recommend at least 1 syringe of Restylane Lyft on each side to start.

Best,

Thank you for this question. Restylane Lyft can be used in the lips, but as the particles are bigger, it is likely that lumpiness could happen more readily so Silk and Restylane with smaller particles are traditionally better fillers for the lips. Best, Dr. ALDO :)
