Will getting buccal fat removal make lips a bit wider?

luluys449May 26, 2018
When I press down on the sides of my mouth my lips get a bit wider because theres some fat deposits around the corners of my mouth. If not, would lip injections make my lips a bit wider? My lips are really full in the middle but not on the sides.
