Will Silikon 1000 Injections in Lips Look Natural?

But when I was younger, I imagine I had the same creases but the skin jumped back. If there are no creases anymore how will the skin move? Thanks!

Lip lines from singing: Silikon 1000 versus botulinum toxin

This is a good question and one of the reasons for using the microdroplet technique. You may find that the conservative use of botulinum toxin for the lines may prove useful and reversible.
