Can the vermillion border be augmented? (photo)

Yes, it is possible to augment the vermillion border.  There are a variety of fillers that could be used and the experience of the injector will make a difference in the outcome.  

Thank you for your question.  You can definitely inject filler in the vermilion border to enhance the shape of your lips.  Using a softer product like Volbella can enhance the shape of your lip without adding a lot of volume.

Thanks for your question.  Injection along the vermillion border and lifting the frenulum is an excellent way to enhance the look of the lip without making them too big.  From looking at your picture it appears it would work well.  I either use Juvederm Ultra or a thinner Juvederm Volbella depending on what the needs are.  If you get it done, ask for a lip nerve block as this will completely numb the upper lip and make the experience better.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing you picture and concern. Yes this can be done with very natural looking results. Search for a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your desired look.   

Hi there.  I am aware of no surgical intervention to improve the vermilion border.  I think cutting along it to better define it would be much too risky.  I would look into either low volume filler in the white roll to help improve the vermilion border or potentially having a medical or aesthetic tattoo artist have a look and see if they can offer any improvement.  Hope this is helpful.  Good luck.
