What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip filler results require upkeep, but are beautiful and reversible. Our team at The Cosmetic Surgical Center in Dallas works with a broad range of lip fillers to deliver exceptional results. Hyaluronic-based fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm are available, and new options will certainly come along in the future. We always offer our patients the safest products that yield the most natural results.
Restylane as well as Juvédermm are available in different densities and varying characteristics. What filler to choose depends on the unique desires of each patient, as well as their natural shape and the fullness of their lips. Our providers will discuss this with patients at the time of the consultation.
Some of our guiding principles are outlined below:
- Balance with the face: Lips must balance the face and profile of each patient.
- Balance between the lips: The upper and lower lips must be in balance with each other. Generally, the lower lip needs to be fuller than the upper lip.
- Elegant border: The borders of the lips are key features as they separate the lip color and texture from the rest of the facial skin. It is an important anatomic landmark that can be volumized to give the appearance of fuller, more youthful lips as well as diminish any fine wrinkles around the mouth.
- Full but natural lips: There is a difference between just having big lips and having big lips that are also beautiful and natural. The upper lip requires a central pout that fits elegantly between the right and left pouts of the lower lip.
These are the keys to our approach to creating beautiful lips. Our patients define the volume you wish to add, and we guide them about the rest.
While lip augmentation and volumization might seem simple, it is actually very complex and requires a certain expertise. It is an art that needs training and the discerning eye of a plastic surgeon.
