The Procedure: Lips

The lips should be full and wide with the upper lip slightly rotated, revealing the lower portion of the front teeth. The lower lip should be comparable in size and slightly rolled forward. There are numerous procedures to enhance the appearance of the lips. They can be augmented with the use of fillers like Juvederm, Restylane or fat or they can be enhanced by rolling the mucous membrane from within the mouth to the outside. Additionally, an elongated upper lip can be reduced by excising some of the skin immediately beneath the nose. In this latter instance, the upper lip is considered to consist of “white” and “red” components.
