Lip Volume and Shape Enhancement

The most accepted ratio for natural looking lip proportion is a 1/3 upper lip to 2/3 lower lip ratio, except for African Americans where a 1 to 1 lip ratio is more common. In younger individuals, the lip border and philtrum column are usually well defined and injecting them can create a protruded “duck” appearance.

As we get older, we lose the definition of the lips and the “white roll” around them. Enhancement in these areas as well as the cupids bow can have a natural outcome without the overdone look. These general rules of thumb are modified for each individual based on lip shape, firmness, and desired results. Please see one of our master injectors for a more individualized recommendation. One of the most popular cosmetic procedures for people of all ages is the enhancement of lips. From teenage girls to older men and women, well shaped and plump lips are one of the most desired facial features today. Luckily, there are many options available for enhancing the volume and shape of your lips. The key is to identify the right option for you to ensure you get the results you are looking for, without spending too much.
 

Shape and Volume Enhancement Using Fillers

A lot of people are fearful of lip enhancement because they’ve seen too many un-natural looking results. We understand and couldn’t agree more. It takes a keen eye to decide on the right type of filler, amount needed,and to correctly place it in each individual lip shape to achieve the patient’s desired shape, volume, and outcome. Lip fillers, such as Revanesse®, Teoxane®, Teosyal®, Juvederm®, Radiesse®, and others can all be used to enhance the shape and volume of lips. Your provider will select the right one for your budget and goals. Some fillers last longer, while others dissolve much more quickly so it’s important to consider your budget and specific goals, including how often you may want to inject additional filler.
 

Shape and Volume Enhancement Using Botox

Yes, you read that correctly! This procedure, also known as a the "Lip Flip" is quickly becoming one of the most popular procedures available. A small amount of Botox can be used to not only diminish and prevent lip lines, reduce the appearance of "gummy smile", but to volumize the lip size.

As explained above, Botox in this area has pros and cons.

Botox Lip Flip Pros: The pros to this procedure are that it can act as “speech therapy” to teach us to speak without over-utilizing these muscles (this can have long term benefits), it is inexpensive (minimal units of botox are necessary), it decreases the lip lines, and it also has a volumizing effect on lip size & shape.

Botox Lip Flip Cons: The cons are that the muscle effect only lasts about 6 weeks, it can make the lips feel a little bit numb (pronouncing the letters B and P will be softer), and that drinking from a straw will be difficult (which can actually be considered a benefit).
