The area above my lips is very fat & swollen and I look like an ape. Can fat transfer or Botox help? (Photo)

Question

I thought this was so because my canines were a little out of my jaws but I wasn't sure.

Jeffrey B. Wise, MD, FACS · Answer

If you desire reduction of the size of your lips, botox and/or fat transfer will not likely help.  Lip reduction procedures are commonly performed in my practice to make lips smaller in size or to change their shape. Unlike botox, this procedure requires some recovery time, as swelling takes some time to resolve from lip reduction surgeries.Best of luck!

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Botox is not indicated for the lips and any filler including fat will augment your lips and make them look bigger.  Many people would pay a lot of money to have your lips.  I think they look beautiful.

You have wonderful full lips. Neither fat transfer nor botox would be of any use to you. Fat transfer would augment your lips further and botox can help change the position of the upper lip.

It is amazing so many would "kill" for your lips!!!! Lip reduction surgery could slightly improve the appearance but at what cost of the possible scar.///
