Can Lip Enhancement Really Look Natural?

You’ve seen the controversy whenever a female actress or reality star steps out with noticeably fuller lips – people are still recovering from the Kylie Jenner debacle. It begs the question: if famous people aren’t getting realistic cosmetic treatment, how can normal people? Where’s the happy medium? Can you actually plump your mouth without looking like you’ve sprouted a duck’s bill?

Fortunately, natural-looking lip enhancement isn’t unattainable. You just have to find the right provider – and make sure you’re on the same page. Dermal fillers allow for treatment that gently boosts your lips, and gets you looking like your younger self (not an entirely different person). Check out our tips below for achieving great-looking lips – and the right route for your own treatment.*

Dermal Fillers Provider’s Tips for Subtle Lips

  • Treatment may not be wise for lips alone – This all depends on how your skin has aged, but it’s something to take into consideration. If you’ve lost significant volume in your lips, it’s likely that you have elsewhere on your lower face. If you boost only your lips, there will be a marked difference between your mouth and your other features – leading to a cartoonish effect. Different fillers can be used to achieve low-key plumping across the face for consistent rejuvenation.*
  • Consider natural lip proportions – The upper lip should be ⅓ of the total size of your lips, and the lower lip about ⅔. A skilled provider will also enhance from the center of the mouth, and not extend volume too far out toward the corners (this will look unnatural). Before treatment, we’ll discuss what results will best complement your personal features. There’s no one-size-fits-all option, and it’s important to stay open to what will be right for you.
  • Wait for the final results before making conclusions – Immediately after treatment, there will be some minor swelling and bruising. Even a single injection will cause some side effects. Ice your lips to help them go down to their intended size – even half an hour will make a big difference.
  • Remember that nothing is forever – Getting fillers won’t make permanent changes to your lips. Treatment won’t cause your lips to sag or look deflated once the fillers have faded. Your lips will return to normal – and you’ll be able to decide whether you’d like to continue with fillers or try something else. Some studies have shown that hyaluronic acid injections actually may trigger your body’s production of collagen – so you may see some positive, lasting natural results.*
