How does lip sculpting differ from collagen filler?

Question:
I would love to have gorgeous, full lips. How does lip sculpting differ from collagen filler other than that it is a permanent solution to thin lips?

Answer:
I am not certain if their really is a difference between lip sculpting and collagen injections. I no longer use collagen for lip augmentation because the newer hyaluronic acid filler products such as, Restylane and Juvederm are so much more effective. I use these dermal fillers to sculpt the lips to give your lips the appearance that you desire. I have found that although the overall shape of the lip that people are seeking is usually similar, the amount of lip augmentation that each individual desires is quite variable and the real art behind lip augmentation is giving you a lip that looks natural, full, and one that you are comfortable with.
