Will filler injected into the philtrum roll top lip up? Already have 1 mL Juvederm injected. (photos)

Erika in TX
I had 1 mL juvederm ultra injected into my lips 4 months ago. I like having fuller lips, but I don't like how the filler made my top lip go straight outward like a duck bill instead of turning up. It sticks out farther than my bottom lip. I have done research and some say this is due to a long upper lip (distance between nose and top lip). My doctor has offered to inject restylane into the philtrum columns to help roll my top lip upward. Will that help? Would I be better off getting a lip lift?
