While Fat and Temporary Dermal Fillers can provide volume to the lips, more and more women are interested in the shape of the upper lip. The double curve of the upper lip often referred to as the Cupid's bow is a very youthful and sensual feature on the face of both men and women. While smoking or simply family genetics may resulted in a depressed or hidden appearance of the upper lip contours, The Hospital Group Plastic Surgeons have utlilized the most effective procedures for lifting the upper lip and shortening the length of the nose to the upper lip line.

Furthermore, the Hospital Group Plastic Surgeons are developing more reversible and miminally invasive techniques to enhance the cupid's bow of the upper lip to provide an exciting, sensual, and youthful lip appearance.

Temporary injectable dermal fillers such as Juvederm or more permanent fillers such as fat or even more recently synthetic implants can be used to augment lip volume.
