I have a "dent" under my bottom lip which I hate. It's not very noticeable from the front, but from the profile I feel it really stands out. I'm looking for a PERMANENT way to get this dent filled in. Is this possible? I've included a picture of the problem, and an edited version to demonstrate what I'd like to achieve.

Thank you for your question. Yes, fillers are very safe when administered by a trained professional. And if your getting hyaluronic fillers they can be reversed with an injection. I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation. Good luck.
