Hello, I did lip fillers for two times in 1 year with hyaluronic acid, I have very thin lips especially the upper one which was almost unexistent. The last time they put on a thicker filler which last longer but I'm not really happy with the result. I'd like to raise the upper lip, to make it closer to my nose instead of falling down. The doctor suggested me to add filler on the philtrum to achieve this result. Do you think it's the best thing to do? I don't want a fake result.
