Which Lip Filler Is Right for Me?
The results you get from your lip filler largely depend on who you choose to perform the injections. It is essential to choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their training, board certification, experience, skill, knowledge, and, most importantly, their natural artistic vision. The product used will also determine your result. Different lip fillers have unique textures, densities, and purposes. Let’s explore four of the most popular options. All of the fillers contain the local anesthetic lidocaine for added comfort during your treatment.
Restylane® Kysse
Restylane Kysse is designed specifically for the lips. It provides natural-looking volume, smooths out wrinkles around the mouth, and enhances lip color and texture. It’s perfect for those who want a subtle, kissable look.
Best for:
- First-time lip filler users
- Patients wanting a natural, soft result
- Enhancing lip definition and texture
JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC
This filler is thicker than others, which makes it ideal for creating fuller, more dramatic lips. JUVÉDERM® is “hydrophilic,” which means that once injected, it attracts more water molecules, which gives more of a swelling effect.
Best for:
- Patients looking for a bold transformation
- Adding volume to thin lips
- Long-lasting results
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC
This filler is smoother and softer, offering subtle enhancement with a silky finish. It’s great for refining shape and contour rather than adding dramatic volume. It feels very soft and natural.
Best for:
- Smoothing fine lines around the lips
- Defining the lip border
- A soft, natural look
RHA® 3 and RHA Redensity®
These Revance Aesthetics products are reliable and combine the traits of a robust filler as well as a corrective, smooth, soft effect, especially good for the fine “smokers” lines around the lips.
Best for:
- Mid to large volume augmentation
- Correction of fine lines
Different Popular Lip Shapes
Lip filler isn’t one-size-fits-all. The shape you choose can bring out your best features and harmonize with your face. Dr. Persky prefers to enhance the naturally endowed lip shape in the majority of his patients. In appropriate patients, here are some popular lip shapes to consider:
Classic Lips
The classic lip shape is all about balance and symmetry. The upper and lower lips are proportionate, with gentle volume and a soft curve. The upper lip should be 70% the size of the lower lip in Caucasian patients. The ratio is 1:1 in patients of color. This shape enhances your lips in a natural way without appearing overdone.
Great for:
- Everyday wear
- A timeless, effortless appearance
- Natural-looking results
Cupid’s Bow
This shape emphasizes the natural “V” at the center of the upper lip. It’s a romantic, defined look that draws attention to the middle of the mouth. Adding a little fullness in the upper lip just below the Cupid’s Bow is youthful and a sign of fertility.
Ideal for:
- Accentuating facial symmetry
- Adding youthful structure and attractiveness
Full Pout
Full pout lips are all about maximum volume. The upper and lower lips are plumped evenly, giving a bold, noticeable look.
Perfect for:
- Glamorous styles
- Those who love a statement lip
- Those who wish to draw attention to themselves by having their lips enter the room before the rest of their body
- Adult video performers
Pillow Lips
This shape creates a plush, soft effect with rounded edges and more volume toward the center of the lips. Think of this look as dreamy and luxurious.
Best for:
- A sultry, high-fashion appearance
- People who want plump but not sharp edges
