What is the Minimum Age to Receive Fillers for Lip Augmentation?

June 5, 2012
Asked By:Sarah in NC in Asheville, NC

I am interested in trying a non-invasive lip augmentation via fillers. My first choice would be Restylane, but I read on the Restylane website that the minimum age suggested by the FDA is 21, for the use of Restylane as a lip augmenter. I am currently 20. I was wondering if this means a board certified cosmetic surgeon will not agree to use Restylane on me until I am 21. Also, does this mean Juvederm is not used for lip augmentation on patients under 21, as well?
