You need to adjust your expectations.  Anytime of surgery will make whatever you are looking at worse, which you will wish you could take back.

You should start out with maybe 1cc of filler and go from there. You do not want to overdo too much filler in the lips. It also depends on the look you are going for too. You can always add more filler to the lips if needed. Just remember if you are going to do your lips and you do not want to bruise you should not take any aspirins or anything that will thin the blood since brusing can occur.

I often augment and re-shape the lips in just this way.  This is an advanced technique and it is very important to consult a specialist in facial injections.  Best, Dr. Green
