I had Juvederm in my lips and I am unhappy with the results. My goal was for the outer corners of my lips to be more turned outward. Also, I feel as though there is filler above my upper lip and out to the sides from the corners of my mouth. My provider ensures me that they did not inject there so there could not be filler there.
