LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Dear Dr Lam,

I was wondering if there is a procedure to make lips wider horizontally? I am bothered by how narrow my lips are in ratio to my round and wide face shape. I think my overall appearance would be more balanced if my lips were wider and bigger.

sorry, as far as i know for a safe result of that kind, a procedure like that does not exist.
best,

Thanks for your reply... would lip injections into the corners of the lips give the illusion of wider lips? I have lips which resemble the model Devon Aoki's so the sides are downturned. I would like the corners of the lips to be curved upwards like say Catherine zeta-Jones.

hmm, dangerous. will probably make you look like a clown. don't get crazy. stay safe, and go to a person with a good eye and hopefully integrity not to inject anything you ask for.

Dr Lam,

What about the corner lip lift? I found out about it recently and i think it could help my lips not look as downturned. Can you explain a little bit more about this procedure?

i stopped doing it. it does not work consistently or can lead to a joker's look.

can you explain more about the 'it does not work consistently' part? thanks

oftentimes i see no difference at all. sometimes i have seen it look too elevated. it is too imprecise a treatment to make it worth while. plus it leaves a visible scar for too long. i simply don't do it anymore.
