Hi, its a question regarding lip enhancement. I have very thin lips bottom lip is slightly larger but still not very plump. I am currently wearing a brace and its filled them out but once this comes off theyll be back to normal. Ive seen the celebs that have had there lips done and it looks terrible, is there any product on the market for thin lips that doesn’t make you look like a duck that literally just fills them out abit?. I also suffer with cold sores will the treatment bring one out?thanks
Hello there, thanks for your question.
I can see why you are concerned, in my opinion there are lots of folks out there with badly & over done lips. If that’s what they want, then fine but it’s not what most people want from a lip enhancement. The problem is that it gives the impression that this is how it’s always done. However there are lots of people with very natural-looking lip enhancements, but you won’t notice them – you’d think that they had nice, naturally full lips.
The secret is not which product, but how much volume is used. A full discussion with your practitioner should ascertain what you are looking to achieve and importantly what you are not looking to achieve.
I favour Restylane Lip Volume but there are other hyaluronic acid fillers that also would work well.
With regard to your cold sores I would prescribe a short course of aciclovir tablets (zovirax) for 5 days after treatment so that this was not a problem.
