My lips pretty much disappear on the sides I'm okay with the fullness right by the Cupid's bow, I've also tried lifting my lip from the Cupid's bow just to see what it would look like and I end up getting the rabbit look which I don't want, is it possible to just increase fullness on the sides of my lips with a lip lift?
