What can I do for thin lips and uneven mouth?

Good day and thank you for your questions. Dr. Monasebian, our Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, will answer your questions.

Dr. Monasebian would have to see you and examine you to look at your lips as well as the rest of your face. There are many options available.

Yes, your photos demonstrate some changes. You might be able to benefit from some well done work with injectable filler such as Juvaderm (hyaluronic acid). There a variety of products your plastic surgeon might employ and should discuss them with you. It should be possible to improve lip contour and symmetry, and enhance the balance of the upper and lower lips.

My thoughts are that your lower lip actually looks great, but I can see why you might like the upper vermilion to have a little more rounded fullness and more vertical height. The philtrum is difficult to evaluate in the photos I can see, but in-person evaluation is always best. A lip lift can shorten the vertical length of one's lip, and hide the scar along the base of the nostrils. This can be done with local anesthesia, with minimal down-time and recovery.

Seek an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Review their website photos for examples of their work and carefully discuss your expectations.

Hello, thank you for your question. Long upper lips and thin lips can be graded by severity and the grading help determine the most appropriate treatment. These measurements are taken during your consultation. Typically the ideal lip has about 2 mm of dental show when the mouth is open and at rest. Treatments may include lip augmentation and/or surgical lip lift. These are procedures that can be safely done in the office under local anesthesia.
