Has Artefill been used sucessfully in the lips i.e., lip enhancement?

Lips can be tricky enough to enhance with fillers. My preferred lip injectable is Juvederm since it's amazingly smooth and can really look terrific. Artefill--while fantastic for areas like the nasolabial folds (the so-called "parentheses" around the mouth)--has too high an incidence of lumps and bumps in the lips. Those problems can be difficult to properly correct. Even the company itself recommends against Artefill in the lips for those reasons.

All the best,
