The safest way to inject fillers into the lip, whether it be in the body of the lip or the border, is to have a highly experienced and trained skin & cosmetic expert such as a dermatologist inject you to optimize results and safety.
Thank you for your question aly2016. Juvederm is a filler that can be used to enhance the lip. There are many techniques used to inject fillers and they depend on the injector and the desired results. By injecting along the margin, the borders of the lips can be enhanced. By enhancing the inner portions volume can be added. Treatments can be done with needles or cannulas. Injections can be made in small aliquots, retrograde, anterograde, linear threading, fanning, and cross hatching. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear of your lip swelling issues. After five weeks this episodic swelling would not be considered normal and I would recommend seeing your injector for an in-person examination to ensure other issues - such as an infection - are not taking place.
