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: 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

Answer: Lip Augmentation Hi miss_london_1988 , You are a good candidate for lip augmentation. Filler does not always need to be placed in both the upper and lower lip simultaneously. In your case you have a relatively full lower lip and a very thin upper lip. I would recommend starting with filler in just the upper lip to give you a better balance. Remember, more can always be added later. While it is somewhat difficulty to fully evaluate based on your pictures (seeing only the lower face), something to perhaps consider would be a "Lip Lift" procedure, as it appears that you have a relatively long upper lip. The lip lift would shorten the overall length of the upper lip and also evert the upper lip giving you more volume and showing more of the red lip. I recommend you have a consultation with someone who is well versed with the procedure to discuss more. Best, Dr. Paquet
