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!

Seems as though you have a great shape already. Adding a bit more volume would give you nice natural resulst. Typically 1 syringe is all that's needed to achieve a beautiful natural result.
It is important to rule out an infection as the cause. I had this happen to one of my patients and it turned out to be a new allergy that manifested itself with lip swelling. With a challenge of the allergen, it was confirmed. Consider hyaluronidase if no source is found.
