Specific For Dermal Fillers:
When The Lips Are Injected, The Upper Lip Tends To Swell Much More Than The Lower Lip And Often Patients Thinks That Their Upper Lip Has Had Much Filler Injected Into It. Once The Swelling Comes Down They Realise This Is Not The Case. The Typical Ratio That Most People Choose For Their Lip Proportion Is 40% In The Upper Lip And 60% In The Lower Lip. So Most Likely The Upper Lip Is Going To Be Smaller Than The Lower Lip Once Swelling Resolves.
