Lip : Lip augmentation won't increase the width of the mouth, though it can change the shape of the lips. Lip lift surgery can create a wider mouth (vertically) by excision skin in the area around the mouth. Check out my link below for more details.

The : The width of the mouth is generally not effected by a lip augmentation. The shape can be altered and will depend on the volume of the augmentation. Firmer implants such as the perma lip solid silicone implant or ptfe (~gortex) type implants or lip advancements may also alter the shape with the appearance of a change in width.
