Will natural lip filler suit my face? (photos)

Question

I am considering getting natural looking lip fillers but want it to look natural. Will this be ok on my small face?

Monica Boen, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, it appears you would be a very good candidate for lip filler. There are different filler products that can give you the look you desire, from a little plump to very plump lips. Keep in mind that injectable treatments like this require a great deal of precision and expertise to achieve a natural result. Make sure your doctor is board-certified and has been extensively trained in this procedure to ensure an optimal outcome.

Based on your photos, you would be a very good candidate for fillers to add some subtle volume and plumping to your lips. The key to a natural result is not so much the filler used as the experience and expertise of the injector. This area requires a light touch and precision in needle placement and dosing to produce an optimal outcome. Make sure you work with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for this treatment. Keep in mind that lip fillers are usually accompanied by some swelling, so it will take a couple of weeks before you will see your final result.

Hello and thank you for submitting your photos. Fillers are a great option to achieve improvements in the lip. I would advise you to see an experienced practitioner with knowledge of anatomy and lip aesthetics for consultation and treatment. An experienced injector can deliver natural appearing optimization of your lips and results that are suited for your petite features.Best regards,Dr. Zamani

I agree with you that you should be careful about how much product and what type of product is done for your lips.

More important than that however is selecting the right injector. I would not recommend anything except for a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Even in their own office I would recommend that they be the ones to do it and not delegate to a nurse.

Lips can be very tricky and millimeters can make all the difference. There are many posts on great looking lips from certain angles but I can guarantee you many would look terrible from other angles.

I think overall you would benefit greatly from an in person consultation to review options, go over the best treatments and discuss your treatment goals.

Happy to help and good luck

Thank you for your great question and photos. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used in many areas of the face, including the lips. Dermal fillers consist of varying viscosities that can create less or more projection or fullness. Depth and amount of filler injection are also important factors. An experienced provider, after physical examination of your smile and lips, can offer you several options of filler choice to create a more natural appearance.

Samuel Moak, MD · Answer

I think that a conservative amount of hyaluronic acid filler injected precisely and appropriately to uour upper and lower lips would look great. If done appropriately it would not produce an “off balance”look and merely enhance your natural appearance.

It appears you would be a good candidate for lip augmentation with filler.  The great thing about fillers is that you can go slowly to build up to the volume that best suits you.  Keep in mind that it is common for lips to swell somewhat after treatment.  It can take up to two weeks for swelling to resolve completely and your final results to be seen.  See an expert injector near you to learn more.

Any hyaluronic acid filler meant to be injected into the lips could be used to enhance your natural lips. In order to get a natural result, ensure you are picking an experienced and qualified practitioner to do your lip filler. 1 ml could give you nice results.

Michael Ingargiola, MD · Answer

You would be a fantastic candidate if you wish for a subtle increase in lip volume. With the right provider and technique, you can have a very natural appearance that would match your face. I always start with less and have the patient look in the mirror multiple times throughout the injection. I sometimes even have the patient come back in two weeks after the first injection (when the swelling subsides), to get more if they desire. I hope this information helped!

Susan Fox, DO, RPVI · Answer

Hello, yes you can achieve a very natural result with lip filler.  I recommend going to an advanced injector and starting slow.  You can always add more.  Good luck!
