Filler before Lip Lift (not lip filler)?

Luminous744398Nov 21, 2023
Hello, I am booked in for a lip lift surgery in a couple of months. This week, I am booked in for under eye (Tear Trough) filler. I currently have no filler in my face. Is it better that I do not have the under eye filler until after my lip lift surgery? Could I ruin the lip lift surgery booked in for two months time? Thx

Hello, hope you are well. Thanks for posting your photos and questions! Your second photo is too blurry for it to be useful in assessing the shape of your lips, but the first one shows the peak of the cupid's bow being higher on the left than the right. Have you ever had lip filler or lip...
