    • Lip shapes are like fingerprints, no two lips are exactly alike

    Few people find that they have been endowed with that ideal set of full lips. Instead, we most often fall into one of four common lip shape categories: thin, no upper lip, no lower lip, and irregular borders (vermillion border and overblown lips).

    Fortunately, due to advances in science and technology, you don’t have to waste time wishing for that perfect set of lips. Using injectable fillers, such as Restylane, or Juvederm Ultra XC, can help you achieve the look you have always desired with results lasting up to 12 months. All this can be accomplished in a simple office visit. Our cosmetic dermatologist suggests to treat fines lines on upper lip and around the lip corners when you plan for a lip augmentation in order to achieve a better cosmetic outcome.

    Lip Shape Categories and Treatment Options

    Thin, flat lips: These kinds of lips are characterized by little or no definition and are very thin. This can sometimes be attributed to genetics, normal aging, or smoking. Regardless of the reason, the lip tissue has degraded over time causing a loss in definition. Complete lip augmentation is usually necessary to achieve the look you desire. According to Dr. Ghohestani, our renowned dermatologist, Juvederm Ultra XC is a good dermal filler for thin and flat lips combined with Voluma for fines lines around the mouth, Marionette and smile lines. Fractional Co2 laser can be used for skin rejuvenation around the mouth for a better cosmetic outcome.

    No upper lip: Historically, the upper lip tends to lose its volume first. Diminishing volume means less vermilion (border of the upper lip) over time. This exacerbates the nose to lip ratio, making it become even longer. This can most likely be remedied through upper lip augmentation. In more stubborn cases, a lip lift may be necessary to achieve the look you desire.
    No bottom lip: This particular lip shape is extremely rare. More often this condition is combined with the previous condition (no upper lip). The good news is that not only is bottom lip augmentation easier to perform, it is also more natural looking.
    Irregular vermilion border: This condition is characterized by one half of either the top of bottom lip not matching with the other half. Solutions can be as simple as injecting filler on the irregular half. This will not address issues with the vermilion, which may necessitate tattooing to permanently fix. In more severe instances a patient may consider a lip lift, but this is often accompanied by an unnatural “pulled” appearance.
    Too large, or overblown, “fish” lips: This condition often comes as a result of natural volume or, more frequently, improper augmentation. In the natural cases, surgery is generally the best option. If it is a result of improper augmentation, then the treatment will vary depending on the filler used to achieve the look.
    There is no ideal set of lips for everyone, but there is an ideal lip shape for you. Let us show you how our experience combined with state-of-the-art technology and science can help you achieve the look you desire. We offer a unique approach in combining various techniques to meet your expectation.

    Lip Enhancement Process

    A step-by-step guide to lip Enhancement with Juvederm or Restylane® :

    What you need to know before, during and after lip enhancement

    The first and most important step is to sit down with Dr. Ghohestani or one of his associates for a cosmetic consultation on how Restylane or Restylane-L can improve the appearance of your lips. If you decide to try Restylane or Restylane-L for lip augmentation and enhancement, be sure to speak with our renowned dermatologist about the lip enhancement process first, and browse through our list of do’s and don’ts below.

    Before Lip Enhancement
  • Avoid taking aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen), St John’s wort, or high doses of vitamin E supplements, as these may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
  • Talk with Dermatologist if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores. He may prescribe Valtrex to minimize recurrence.
    • During Lip Enhancement Procedure

  • Reduce the risk of facial cold sore recurrence that could be caused by needle punctures by taking Valtrex.
  • Avoid taking aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen), St John’s wort, or high doses of vitamin E supplements for one week after treatment to avoid bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
  • After treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, or tenderness. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 14 days in lips. Swelling may be more likely in patients under 36 years, and bruising may be more likely in patients over 35 years.
