Can you correct my thin lips?
ASK DOCTOR YAGODA
Question: Can you correct my thin lips? I don’t want to have surgery and am leaning more towards an injectable filler and am trying to find the longest lasting filler?
Answer: All FDA approved fillers last about 3-5 months in the lips. I don’t recommend permanent fillers in the lips as they tend to migrate over time and cause lumps and bumps. Lips can be naturally augmented with Restylane, Perlane, LaViv, and Juvederm.
