When lip filler is injected into the lips, is some filler always injected into the lip border?

When lip filler is injected into the lips, is some filler always injected into the lip border? I've noticed that some doctors inject outside the border, which is what happened to me last year and it looked very awkward. I've watched several youtube videos and it seems many injectors start out with saying, "I'm injecting into the border first." Is it always necessary to inject into the border and is this what prevents the duck beak look?
