Top lip corners disappear 25 yr old female. Any suggestions? (photos)

Question

My top lip disappears into my bottom at the corners. I had 1 cc of juvederm ultra plus 5 days ago to try correct this but I don't think it's worked. My photos are below. Will I ever be able to reshape my lips so the corners of the top and bottom meet (pictures below).

It's difficult to tell from your pictures, but these appear like normal lip corners. You could try a different filler or reverse the filler if you're unhappy with your result. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello,

In addition to juvederm in the corner of the lips, consider
botox or dysport. For the upper lip it is a low dosage and helps in showing
more of the lips. It can also be injected in small dosing into the depressor
anguli oris (DAO) muscle for lifting the corners of the mouth. Botox on average
lasts 3 months and will also help filler last longer. This is a quick and easy
office visit with no downtime in comparison to filler injections. It may also
be a more cost effective approach as appose to additional filler. Consult your
local expert injector.
