I've gotten juvederm injected into my lips 2x and have not been happy with the results. The shape of my lips is causing the filler to look duck-like. I have a prominent cupids bow with collapsed sides of my top lip. Is there a way to even this out, so that the sides of my lips don't cave down so much? I explained the shape I wanted to my last doctor, but my lips turned out more puckered and even more collapsed looking on the sides than they did before. What can I do to get a less peaky top lip?
