I want to get a natural look, but I have very thin lips and a small mouth. What filler should I choose? I'm 23 years old
Answer: Lip augmentation Good question - You are young and should move forward in a pathway that will allow you to have the outcome you want without remorse. What is natural is an important qualifier. If your unsure about the exact size as many patients are, I would suggest computer morphing to allow you to see what your lips could look like without actually doing any surgery. Pictures are taken of your lips and then altered with computer technology. Once you have a consistent goal regarding size and shape confirmed, you may consider receiving a filler to "see" if you like your new look. If you changed your mind after living with larger lips, don't worry, the fillers will go away. If you are happy with the result, you can have a lip augmentation with a more permanent solution.

Answer: Treatments for Thin Lips Hi and thank you for your question! When it comes to treating thin lips, nothing comes close to injection of fillers and you can see great results with this procedure. We use hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm, Volbella, Voluma and Restylane Lyft for lips, but more important that the choice of filler is your choice of the person who does the injection, as this is really an art and requires great level of experience to achieve natural looking results. Please make sure to work with a cosmetic doctor with great experience who can show you several before and after pictures of similar patients like you. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Dermatologist Will Choose Perfect HA Filler for Your Lips You don't have to worry in advance about which hyaluronic-acid-based filler to choose for yourself. This will be discussed and decided in your first consultation wth a board-certified dermatologist. The best options for the lips are the HA fillers such as Juvederm, Volbella and Restylane. Because your lips are thin, I would probably choose Volbella, Restylane Silk, or Restylane as they have thinner consistencies, are very smooth, and give a natural result. However, I'd have to see you in person to be sure which filler would give you the look you want. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise in lip augmentation.

Answer: Lip Enhancement Options For short-term volume enhancement of the lips, an array of temporary soft tissue fillers can be used: Juvederm is made of naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid. It is an injected filler that provides volume and hydration. Because hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body, it does not cause allergic reactions.
Restylane is also a hyaluronic acid filler. It maintains its shape by binding itself to water that is already present in the lips.
Evolence is a new filler made of collagen that is designed to mimic the body's naturally occurring collagen. Because of this, the filler is able to join the current structure of the lips and support the existing collagen. It adds strength and volume to the lips for a natural, longer-lasting result.
These fillers can last from a few months to a year.

Answer: Lip fillers are always good to test the results before going to the permanent implants.
Lip fillers such as juvederm/restylane are great temporary fillers to see what size lips you like and how you want them shaped. They are done under local nerve blocks and are easy to undergo for roughly $550/syringe and last roughly 6 months. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD
