Would lip fillers suit my lips/face and should I just get filler in the body of the lip? (Photos)

Question

As  if I want to avoid the fake, duck lips look? I want to get filler in my lips but am nervous about it looking unnatural/duck like. I've noticed when too much filler is injected in the vermillion border it gives this unnatural look. Would fillers suit my face/lip shape? And do I need injections in the vermillion border or just the body?

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Lip fillers do sometimes get a reputation of producing ‘duck lips’ but in the right hands this treatment should enhance your lips whilst maintaining natural looking results. The most important thing to do is to visit a highly trained and experienced injector- they should assess your lips in consultation, discuss desired results and know where best to place filler. I would usually recommend beginning with 0.5ml of product in the body of the lips and building upon this if necessary.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes,
Dr. Rupert

You appear to be a good candidate for lip filler. I recommend finding an injector who has had extensive training and experience injecting the lips. With proper placement and dosing, you should receive a nice result without the “duck lips” people often fear when seeking lip augmentation.

It is best to visit with an experienced injector for a consultation to determine the best approach to meet your goals.  From your photos it appears you would have a nice enhancement with filler to the body of the lips.  There are several fillers that can be used to give a natural enhancement without the fake, overdone look.

Thank you for sharing your question.  You look to be an excellent candidate for a lip augmentation using dermal fillers into the body of the lip.  Hope this helps.

You would get a nice improvement with lip fillers. Volbella, Restylane, and Juvederm are good to create a symmetrical lip. NovaThreads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. Technique will be important here, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
