Fuller Lips for a Youthful Look

Research suggests that fuller lips may have as much to do with a woman’s perceived age as the appearance of wrinkles. “The volume in your lips starts to decline as early as in the mid-30s,” says Susan Stevens Tanne,M.D., Medical Director of COSMETIC LASER MD in Livingston, NJ. 

Injecting the lips with hyaluronic acid filler likes Restylane, Juvéderm and Perlane can create fuller, plumper lips. There are two different types of candidates that benefit from lip injections, explains Dr. Tanne. “One needs volume; the other needs to balance their features.” A common concern among women who augment their lips is that they’ll be overfilled, creating a “duck-like” look where the lips jut out. But, in the hands of an experienced injector who can fill the lips incrementally, the lips can be augmented to create a completely natural look.  

"I absolutely love augmenting lips with filler.  I've done hundreds of of lips - any anyone who's been to my office lately can see all of the amazing before & after photos.  The best part is when my patients look in the mirror and say 'WOW!  This looks totally natural.'"
