I have very, very thin lips. When I see people's before photos, I wish I had that. Even in my 20's my lips were think like someone in their 70s. I got a Permalip implant by a reputable doctor in Boca Raton, FL years ago. Well guess what, it hardly made a difference from the front. From the side there was a little volume but mainly in the area right above my vermillion border, not the lips themselves. The result reminded me of how Simpsons characters look from the side, the profile goes out a bit but no actual lips. Anyway the issue I am having, aside from still having very, very thin lips with barely any pink upper lip showing at all, is that the implant seems to sit too high and it makes me look like a have a faint mustache, even after waxing. The shadow, coupled with the unnatural and hard to the touch texture, and the lack of pouty lips, is making me want it gone.
I am strongly considering a bullhorn lip lift but I am posting to see if anyone else has any other recommendations. My concern is that I will have a smaller philtrum and some teeth show (so manybe I look a bit younger?) but still no lips. I want big kissable lips. I don't want to look like a mouth breather! I've got a few things going on that make me very unhappy and ugly feeling right now.
1) No upper lip/nothing to put lipstick on
2) no tooth show
3) corners droop and SO many people ask me "what's wrong, are you ok" (Resting [RS bleep] Face)
4) ridge or shadow on the flesh part above my lip
Am I being critical? Yes. But I feel very old old and manly and really want some help.

Wow! I love your results, Dr. Couple questions:
1) General or local?
2) Any risk to the white roll?
3) Price?
Caroline, I'm so sorry you didn't achieve what you wanted. I think lip lift or advancement would make a world of difference. I definitely see an enlargement, but it could be the lip liner.

Photos from the sides, not straight on. In addition to think lips I have resting [RS bleep] face. I am in my early 30s and feel like a woman in her 70s. Suggestions...

I am sitting outside my Dr's office waiting for my appt. to get the upper implant removed. I look like I have a mustache. My Dr already removed the upper once, and created a new tunnel to "fix" the issue, but the same issue persists, maybe even worse than original. My smile is wonky too. Considering a lip lift as well. Have a consult Monday with Dr Mascaro, and also in a few weeks with Dr Talei. Fillers only last a few weeks on me!
