Lip scars are fairly common and can be undermined to release the adhesions to free up the area whether you are getting injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvederm for $550 per syringe or you are getting permanent implants at $1500 per lip.
Thank you for your question about lip filer. Depending on what kind of results you are looking to achieve, filler may be a good option for you. It is difficult to accurately recommend treatment for you without an in person consultation. Several filler products that are used in the lips are Vollure, Volbella, Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus. I offer these so that you can research them ahead of time.To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
Scars may affect lip augmentation dispersion. In any case, subcision may release scar tissue. I would advise patients to use the French Method for lip augmentation with Restylane or Juvederm. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
Hi Kat,A small scar, even if it is on the border of your lip, should not negatively affect the outcome of a lip augmentation. In fact, I have treated many patients with depressed or irregular scars with hyaluronic acid injections to augment the lip and improve depressions in the scars. If you have healed normally, the scar should be soft by now, and able to be raised with filler.Good luck - and don't be afraid.Dr. Torkian
Thank you for your question. The lips are very forgiving and a lot of people have scars on their lips. Any lip fillers or lip implants should not distort the shape if properly injected by an experienced injector.
Upper lip wrinkle lines can be improved with fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane. The correction should last about 9 to 12 months. Usually it is advantageous to add filler to the borders of the lips as this helps efface the lines in these areas and can also provide fullness for the lips...
Thanksfor your question! If you are opting to go for a permanent lip augmentation,fat grafting is indeed an option that you can select. Fat transfer has beenused for permanent lip enhancing, but it also comes with risks that you shouldfirst learn about before finalizing your decision. For one,...
Hello, I would be able to give the best advice with side profile photos as well. If your tip is turned up too much, it may create the illusion of a further distance from your upper lip to your nose. A rhinoplasty where your tip is lowered may help. A short nose may be an issue as well. In...
The procedure to reduce the size of the lips is called Cheiloplasty or a Lip Reduction. Incisions are made on the inside of the lip and the lips are reduced. Dissolvable stitches are placed inside the mouth and the lips are swollen for about 7-10 fdays during which time a soft diet...
Thank you for your question. Most doctors will start with one-syringe to avoid overfilling. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO NovaThreads can also be used to improve shape and also provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent ...
I have performed this operation years ago. The technique is a tired old technique of EVERTING the pink mucosa of the lip and augment it at the same time. The more pink works temporarily because of the swelling caused by the surgery more than anything else presumably by slowed drainage of lip...
