Can filler be injected above lips to make them more pouty?

Question

Can filler be injected above the lip, on each side of the cupids bow to make my top lip more pouty? I notice when I press my top lip in at the corners it gives exactly the look I'm hoping for. The Cupid's bow is pushed together and up if that makes sense. I'm thinking Kate Upton style pouty. Thanks!

Lip augmentation with volumetric fillers is an in-office procedure which is performed with 1 to 2 cc of a hyaluronic acid based filler like Restylane or Juvederm. The lip can be defined with injections in the upper border of the lip called the vermillion border. This combined with Botox can accentuate the pout, but can be limited with volume used. Volume to the lips is added in the mucosa, or red part of the lips. It is important to balance the upper and lower lips.

Yes, Juvederm or Restylane can be injected along the vermillion border giving the lips more of a pout.
