Lip fillers, or dermal fillers, are used to add volume and definition to the lips. They can be an option if you're unhappy with the size or shape of your lips or if your lips have thinned with age. Here are some factors to consider:1. Desired Look: Lip fillers can enhance the size and shape of your lips, but the result should still look natural. Discuss your expectations with your doctor.2. Temporary vs. Permanent: Most lip fillers are temporary and last between 6-12 months. Permanent fillers are available but carry a higher risk of complications.3. Risks and Side Effects: Common side effects include swelling, redness, and bruising. More serious risks can include lumps, infection, or an allergic reaction.4. Provider Experience: It's crucial to choose a qualified and experienced provider to minimize risks and ensure a result that you'll be happy with.5. Cost: Lip fillers can be expensive, and because they're cosmetic, they're usually not covered by insurance.6. Aftercare: You'll need to avoid certain activities, like strenuous exercise and alcohol, for 24-48 hours after getting lip fillers.Remember, any decision about cosmetic procedures should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider. It's important to consider all the pros and cons and make sure you're doing it for yourself and not due to external pressures.

In some individuals, the upper and lower lip are about equal, and rarely is the upper lip larger than the lower lip.When conthen the lower lip.When considering fillers, it’s important to respect the natural lip size ratio, though mild consideration can be given, especially if the lower lip is lacking in size.I see no direct reason for intervention.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
You are a candidate for a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
Hi there! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. An option is to consider dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase. I would recommend scheduling an appointment with your provider to assess the area and determine the best next steps for you.
You don't show your whole face. I would suggest submitting better photos that show your whole face or going in for a consultation.
