I am currently on my 4th week of using clexane injections after having a c section.

Thank you for your question.  The area you are pointing to can be augmented with filler.  This will help to lift the lip, but it will also appear fuller.

Hi and thank you for your question. This can be normal after lip injections. I would wait at least 2 weeks before assessing your results. If you're unhappy with the final result, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase. Best of luck.
