Is raised upper lip line inevitable or can it be avoided?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
Hello docs I have had approx 2cc’s of Juvederm Ultra injected into my lips over approx 2 months. It had been over a month since my last injection. I am wondering if the upturn on my upper lip (raised lip line area, especially at Cupid’s bows) is avoidable. Wondering if this is a stylistic thing or something that is inevitable with fillers. Ideally (in my opinion) this would be a smoother transition between skin and lip. Any answers/feedback are much appreciated!
A.Lip augmentation with fillers is both artistic and technical. It appears that your lip augmentation has emphasized your lip border which is causing the upturn. This result is not inevitable with lip injections, you are correct, it is a stylistic thing.I would share your preferences with your lip injecting physician in the future to keep your lips a bit more natural in appearance. Your lips look relatively good at this time so I would not advise dissolving any of your filler. Good luck and be well.
