Question:I have naturally white teeth and get quite a few compliments on my smile. But as I have gotten older, I notice that my lips seem to be less full than they used to be. I would like to have lip enhancement using the most highly recommended injectable filler. Is collagen still the best material for lips? Are there other lip fillers now?
Answer:Yes, there are fillers that we use now that are much better then collagen. I have not used collagen in five or six years. The newer hyaluronic acid fillers are much better in that they last between 7 to 12 months which is 2-3 times longer then collagen. They are very well tolerated and rarely cause problems. No allergy testing is needed as opposed to collagen. These fillers are Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus.
