Been getting lip filler for the past 3 yrs, they were non existent previously! It's been 8 months since my last top up. I'm just wondering whether I would benefit from filler in the vermilion border. Usually I have it injected direct into the actual lip for volume. I want big natural looking lips. What does injecting into the vermilion do, what effect does it give? Would you recommend I would benefit from it? (Wonky top lip is natural, not a bad injector! It was evened out but worn of now.)
