Is raised upper lip line inevitable or can it be avoided? (Photos)

Hi from New York City!
This is definitely not inevitable but it does depend on injector technique. As an injector and when seeing a new patient, it is important to first discuss what the patient wants to achieve and make sure you are both on the same page. In this case, the injector outlined your upper vermillion border and cupid's bow too much. To prevent this, there should be less volume injected into the vermillion border. Sometimes, you can even inject above the upper lip but not in the lip to make this transition more smooth and natural. Hope that helps! Take Care!
