Lip Plumpers

Postby tam » Sun Feb 03, 2008 10:04 pm

Dr. Lam-

I know this is going to sound like a crazy question but, I am very curious. I'm not sure of the active ingredients in the lip plumpers but, could those be used on other areas of the face to add volume, creating the "swelling" look (i.e., undereyes, brow area, etc.)?

Someone would be very rich if they invented a topical treatment that would temporarily add volume to thin skin areas of the face. :D

Can you give me your thoughts on why this works for the lips but, may not work in other areas of the face?

Thanks. :D

I really have no idea except a slightly swollen lip probably does not look that bad but a swollen face may look weird plus that much product on your face probably is not a good idea. beyond that, this is just meaningless conjecture. that advice plus 4 bucks will buy you a starbucks latte.
