Gaining Height in the Lips Instead of Pushing Forward? (photo)

SunaSep 12, 2013
dear doctors, I have let my lips done by a specialist. But I have looked a little like a duck from the side. Is it possible that you can gain height with fillers? On the photo I have lined my lips with lip liner on one side to show what I result I wanted to have. Maybe it is not possible to achieve height on the lips? my doctor said, I cant do nothing with nothing. I can just use what you have. So...? thank you so much
