One common female trait is to have full plump lips and a short upper lip. In contrast to men, women generally have a more full-bodied vermillion—the red, fleshy band of the lips, and a fuller vermillion border—the fine-lined edge between the edge of the lips and the skin.

Dr. Bensimon addresses this issue with Juvederm or Restylane, and could be conducted while awake. Alternatively, fat from the thighs or abdomen could be harvested and injected into the lips. 

The lip lift procedure has became very popular in the past years. With a small incision hidden under the nose this short procedure can also be done under local anesthesia. It is very powerful in enhancing  the prominence of the vermilion border; and improve the facial area  into a more aesthetically pleasing shape.
