Beautiful lips create a beautiful smile, which leads to a spectacular first impression. Though we see stunning faces on Instagram pages, full and well-contoured lips are not always natural. A lip augmentation using dermal fillers is a trending aesthetic, especially this time of year. Patients who consider adding volume to their lips with a safe and effective treatment should first find a medical professional who understands facial anatomy and the science behind the products.

The Look You Want and Need

Often, women get excited about a picture of a celebrity with the perfect lips. Their first reaction is, “I want to look like that.” Then, they might make the mistake of trusting injectors with little training or experience to get the job done, only to be disappointed with the results. And with over a 30% increase for lip augmentation with fillers among 20- to 29-year-olds, many non-medical injectors are advertising their services today. And that’s a problem.

When seeking cosmetic correction for your lips, we strongly urge you to find only a qualified medical expert to perform the procedure. Board-certified facial plastic surgeons understand facial anatomy and how every facial feature works in harmony. By changing lip shape and size, it’s also possible to affect other features like:

Make your nose look smaller
Change the look of your jaw
Alter the look of your eyes

For these reasons, it’s best to find an injector who is well-versed in underlying bony structures and lip balance with other facial features. Facial plastic surgeons have tremendous expertise with repositioning facial volume and the science behind dermal fillers. They understand each product’s pros and cons and the art of combining facial fillers to create the ideal lip contour.
