Did my filler migrate into my vermillion border or upper lip? Is this just due to my mouth shape? (Photo)

RopokeyMay 10, 2019
2 weeks post injections. Swelling gone. When my mouth is even slightly pouty or puckered my vermillion border looks like it’s been stuffed with filler. I like how my lips look when I have lipstick on but the puffiness is more noticeable when my lips are bare. Am I just being over-critical? Staring too closely? The nurse who injected my lips is incredible and does amazing work. I just want to know if this is normal! Please advise.
