What is the reason behind getting the "duck-lip" look when getting lip augmentations? Can this be avoided? (photos)

hannahvictoria
I have noticed that women who get lip augmentations often have a very un-natural look where the upper lip sticks out in a odd pouty manner. The definition in the upper lip is lost, and the outer corners of the lip have an up-turned effect. What is the cause of this? Is it a doctor error, or is it due to the clients lip shape before-hand? And lastly, is this a result that my doctor can fore-see happening? (I've attached some photos as to what I mean by the "duck-lip" look) Thanks so much
