Hello Plucky264619,
The hyperpigmentation on your lips can usually be lightened or even removed completely by a picosecond laser, such as PicoWay, when used by a trained professional. It will likely take a few sessions to achieve the desired result. Hope this helps!

Hello there. To achieve a more upturn smile, both Botox and filler can be used. Botox is used to relax the muscles around the mouth that pulls the corners of the lips downwards. Filler can be used to add volume to the corners of the mouth to create a lifting effect. You may want to speak to your injector to get a feel for which (or both) procedure they would want to start with you. Hope this helps!

Hello there. Yes, I would definitely wait until the weight loss is complete before injecting fillers. Fat will be lost under the skin on the face just like it would in other parts of the body. Injecting fillers once you have achieved your desired weight will allow your injector to inject the right amount of filler into the area. Hope this helps!

Hello there. The bump in the chin is likely the contraction of your chin muscle (Mentalis muscle). This can be fixed with Botox injection into the muscle to help it relax. If injected properly, it should not interfere with your lips, so don't worry about that. Hope this helps!

Hello there. The desired look of a more upturn lip can be achieved with dermal fillers. Speak to a qualified injector and discuss with them your desired look. With the proper technique and selection of filler, the injector can make your lips appear more plump and defined. Hope this helps!
