Hello, I've been looking into getting lip injections for a while now. My lips are quite small in width, and my top lip is a lot smaller than the bottom. I was wondering if my lips would achieve similar results to the attached photo if I got 1mL of filler. Thank you!

Answer: Lip Augmentation There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one incision at the red/white upper lip junction (gull wing) or two separate incision at the corners, or a combination, depending on your desired look and anatomy. My preferred surgical technique is called the Elelyft, which is a version of the bullhorn approach. In your situation, 1 cc of filler may not be enough to achieve the appearance of the photo you submitted. Please keep in mind for a more permanent solution to lip augmentation, you can consider an upper lip lift. Consult with an experienced lip surgeon for a complete range of options that are appropriate for your situation. Gary Linkov, MD Lip Specialist / RealSelf Lip Lift Medical Reviewer Manhattan

Answer: Lip Fillers -- Juvederm Ultra/Ultra Plus/Volbella/Voluma, Restylane Silk/Lyft, Belotero, Fat Injections, Lip Lift The more filler used the more big the lip, that looks as if there are. more than one cc of filler. I would suggest starting with one, adding more after 2-4. weeks if you want bigger. use hydration and plumping products to maintain the result and give it a more filled look as well (see emeragecosmetics.com lip package).
