Dermal fillers are great for enhancing the skin. As their name implies, they are used to fill volume to areas on the skin. While the most common area to treat is the smile lines or nasolabial folds, they can also be used to enhance the lips. Fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane can be used to volumize the lips or provide definition to the borders. The effects typically last about one year. Other fillers such as Radiesse, Scupltra, and Artefill should not be used in the lips. Everyone is different and there are a lot of considerations to think about when adding filler to the lips. These include the thickness of the lips from top to bottom, the width of the lips from side to side, the definition of the borders, the ratio of the size of the upper lip to the lower lip, the angles of protrusion of both lips, the location of the upper and lower teeth relative to each other and the lips, the distance from the nose to the upper lip, and the distance from the chin to the lower lip. Keeping all of these in mind is important when deciding how to add fillers for the best results. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding should not have filler treatments.
