Hi:) I have an appointment for a lip filler (my first time) and I wanted to know if 0.5 ml is enough for me, i just want to contour them a little and to add some volume to the upper lip (i don’t like that in the profile view it is so “sharp” up there) and to add volume too to the other one if needed for symmetry? In the last picture my lips are contoured and with lipstick, kinda the look I want to achieve but without overlining them like crazy. Thanks!!!
