When patients enter a medispa for lip injections, the first question they usually ask is “will this look natural?”

The pursuit of full, even lips is often undercut by the fear of “duck lips” or lips that look unnatural and doctored.

Symmetry, volume loss, hydration – each patient has unique goals and concerns and should know how to find the best lip filler possible.

What Should I Look For?

Each patient has a distinct, natural look they are hoping to achieve. A patient’s best bet for natural looking lip filler is working with a provider who carefully listens and pairs the proper treatment to those goals. When patients say they don’t want “big lips” that often means they are looking to fight signs of volume loss without looking overdone.

More subtle fillers like Belotero or Restylane Silk work well in those cases. On the opposite end of the spectrum, for patients wanting noticeable volume, a thicker filler like Restylane Kysse or Juvederm Ultra Plus may be appropriate.

Who Can Give The Best Lip Filler?

Who can inject lip fillers, and the laws on how they are supervised is not well regulated. You may think the “MD” behind a physician’s name means they are credentialed to perform or advise on cosmetic injections, but that doesn’t mean their training was specifically for cosmetic procedures. As a rule of thumb, look for a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

As an added precaution, ask what professional organizations they are members of and make sure they align with your goals. To achieve natural looking lip filler, ask your provider if you can see before and after photos of their patients. Be sure the patients in the photos have similar anatomy to yours.

Complications from lip fillers are rare but can be serious. If an issue were to arise ask your provider how they would fix it and whether they can be reached 24/7.
