Hello, I've recently had a lip filler consultation with a Plastic Surgeon here in London, and he advised to only fill my upper lip (restylane or belotero). He uses cannullas. Wouldn't this give me the duck lip look? He said he would use about 1ml of product. As you can see on the pictures my upper lip is very thin, especially when I smile, it almost disappears. I do want a natural result but was a little worried about filling just my upper lip. Thanks for your help!!
Answer: You do not need a full milliliter of volume in your upper lip. If this injector placed this much product, particularly Belotero, you will end up with a lip shelf. I am also concerned that putting a full syringe in the upper lip will be too much. I suspect that you could have a very nice improvement with a half milliliter all placed in the upper lip. That would leave product to be placed in the left half of the lower lip which is relatively weak compared to the right side. I personally prefer Restylane for the lip edge. It needs to be careful placed but holds up and does not drift after placement.

Answer: Fillers The doctor most likely wants to focusz on the top lip being you have a very small top lip and he/she is worried if they fill the bottom it will be hard to get them even.

Answer: Getting Lips You Love--Lip Augmentation with Fillers (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm), implants or fat It will depend on the final results you want. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with the injector about their recommendations. These fillers, (Restylane, Volbella, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. Implants or fat are alternative options. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
