It depends on the goal of the treatment. Historically (i.e., before fillers were invented), some women would use carefully placed needle sticks (acupuncture) to make the lips swell temporarily. The effect is short lived and somewhat unpredictable. As a replacement for filler injections, this is likely to be underwhelming. Best of luck moving forward!
It varies from person to person as everyone do have different reactions to injections.Acupuncture can help to cure not only disorders but cosmetic conditions as well, from dry skin to facial blemishes to wrinkles. It helps in skin tightening, fuller and softer lips, and a decrease in superficial and deep skin creasing. There are certainly many benefits for acupuncture but if your skin and lips are too sensitive, I would not advise to have acupuncture for lips.

Thank you for the question. It really depends on what filler was used. If it was truly permanent (e.g., silicone) then the treatment for removal is actually a lip reduction. Silicone causes inflammation and granulation tissue in the lips and can't be extracted or dissolved directly. Fot...
Filler is a great option for the lips. I like Juvederm, as it is very soft and yields a great looking and natural result. Cost can vary depending on the physician and your location. I would recommend seeking the advice of a board certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or facial plastic...
