Thin lips (especially upper) and deep tear troughs are often genetically determined, and thus there are many younger people seeking this treatment. Your parents would have to sign off/confirm & consent that it is okay to go ahead with the procedure. Safety-wise, there is no issue based on your age.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

Regardless of who is paying, your parent needs to see the doctor with you and sign off for any procedures done when you are under 18. You cannot be seen alone and you cannot consent to the procedure even if your mom tells you it's ok. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
