I am having 0.5ml of lip filler soon and wondered how much difference it will make to my lips? I already have quite full lips but the desired effect I want it just more of a subtle enhancement/plumper look. My bottom lip is bigger than my top after some research found this is how it should be but wanted my top lip to just look a bit more filler/shapely. Hoping for some other professional advice before this procedure. Thanks.
