Across the centre top of the lip, where the cupid's bow is, the volume sits inside the lip border, then it protrudes out either side of the lips coming down towards the corners, as an obvious ridge/mound 5mm. I had the sides of the implant tapered thinner but it still looks the same. It didn't increase the height, red show, of the top lip, my lips look quite similar front on (except for the mounds), it only really increase the volume of my lips if looking from side on. Should I have a lip lift?
