I would like to have my mouth appear wider. My lips are quite thin and they often look odd paired with my large cheeks and nose. What kind of procedures would help with that look? Also, the corners of my lips are basically non-existent, would injections there make my cheeks puff out less or would I just need to get the lines filled?

Answer: Contouring the mouth and lips You could do well with lip injections. Particularly at the corners and along the lateral surfaces. I would still focus centrally with the majority of the product but you are right it is all about getting the right balance with the rest of your face.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Wider lips Based on your photos, the width of your lips are actually proportional to your face. The lip width should be roughly be the same distance as between your eyes. Your concern about your lips being thin can be addressed with fillers such as juvederm. This is injected directly into your lip and not around your lips or in your cheeks. It will give you a fuller lip appearance and can be done incrementally so we can stop once you achieve the look you are going for. The good thing about fillers is that if you do not like the result, you can already reverse it by injecting an agent that dissolves the product or with time, the filler will be dissolved naturally by your body. Most patients, however, love lip fillers and always come back for more. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon to fully discuss your concerns and identify the best treatment to address this.

Answer: Mouth Widening Procedure Thanksfor your questions and for attaching your photos! Surgically, there’s a procedure,which could help widen our mouth if by only a little. Nevertheless, it willrequire invasive surgical procedure that I do not entirely require for yourcase. The reason behind it is due to the risk of possible scarring. So, morethan doing good, it may actually do bad for you.

Answer: Lip Injections to Widen the Mouth I would avoid surgery as this will cause scarring and is quite involved. I would opt for lip injections both in the lips and the corners of the mouth. In addition injecting Voluma into the cheeks will help balance the face and should give you a beautiful result. Best, Dr. Green
