LIP ENHANCEMENT

In recent years, fuller, more voluptuous lips have become a national obsession.  Many types of fillers are used to plump up the lips.  Some of the most popular ones are Ultrasoft, Goretex, Alloderm, various PTF fillers, along with fat injections, and collagen.   Hyalronic acid products (Restylane) are the newest ones, but they are still under scrutiny and are yet to be approved by the FDA.

Dr. Miles prefers Goretex as a permanent lip filler, which can be used in the lip borders as well as the substance (inner lips).  It is also removable, but the drawback is that it does not feel quite as natural as some of the more temporary fillers.  Ultrasoft or ultraform feels better because it adheres to one’s lip tissue, but is not easily removable (if one should wish to do so).

For the appropriate candidates, there are also surgical procedures to actually widen the lips. Subnasal lip lifts are performed to enhance a long upper lip with little dental show and to improve the cupid’s bow area.  A lip rollout or V-Y plasty pulls out a portion of the patient’s own lip that is hidden inside, thus, widening the lip externally.  This can be performed on the upper and the lower lip. 

In the case of very thin lips, two, three, or even four procedures may be used for noticeable improvement.
