Will lip injections widen my mouth and plump my lips? (photos)

Question

My mouth is 45mm wide (very small) I want fuller lips, much fuller but am worried with my mouth being so small it will look unflattering. When I smile my lips and mouth look a little bigger and better but when im not my mouth and lips look like that of a baby's! Will lip injections help widen my mouth for full lips that will look natural?

Thank you for your question and photos.  The nice thing about lip fillers is that one can have a multitude of treatment options and sculpt a result that is natural and flattering.  I would start with a face to face consult with a Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon / Facial Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist who has experience in lip injections. During the consult you and the physician should be understanding of
the goals and realistic outcomes of your choices. Once an exam and opinion is
rendered then you can decide if lip injections are right for you. Good luck.

Thank you for your question and photos regarding the use of lip filler to widen and plump your lips. With the array of fillers available now, we have great options for shaping and plumping lips. If your lips are fuller, they can appear to be a bit wider. We often start with one syringe and add more after 2 weeks if the full result is not achieved. Bruising and swelling are potential short-term side effects. Experience is important with all fillers, especially lips, so we recommend that you see a Facial Plastic Surgeon who's staff is experienced with injectables. Good luck!

Lip injections can be used to reshape and increase size of the lips. I suggest seeing an expert who treats this area often.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Lip fillers are best not only to increase the size but also to adjust the shape of the lip in an artistic way.  Please consult an expert in lip fillers for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
