Yes and it will last you for 4-6 months.

The best choice for you is to start with a hyaluronic acid filler like Juvederm or Restylane. It's easily done in the office with no downtime. You can start with small amounts of augmentation and then increase it over a few weeks if you want to add more and best of all you burn no bridges, if you don't like it, it will be gone in 6 months.

Lip implants are available. The advantage is in the permanent effect and elimination of need for repeat injections. The disadvantages are the same as with any implant-displacement, infection, unnatural feel etc.

If you've never down this before I would recommend that you start with a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm. This will give you a nice result, but is not permanent if you decide you don't like the change.

The best choice for you would be a hyaluronic acid filler (juvederm or restylane). It will only last a few months or if you really don't like it then it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase injection.

Lip augmentation with filler is done in a single office visit. Some patients may request a touch up after 2 weeks or so if they find they want their lips even bigger or if there are slight asymmetries to correct.

I am very much against silicone injections. There is too much risk of reactions, lumps etc which will be permanent. Try one of the hyaluronic acid fillers first such as Juvederm or Perlane. The result is great but also reversible if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

Consult with your primary care doctor or a hematologist before having anything done. You are doing this electively to look better, not to have problems!
