This is something I see quite often.
There is a common belief that adding filler just to the top lip will balance a thinner upper lip, create lift, or show more pink.
In reality, it can often do the opposite.
In many cases, especially where there is a longer or heavier philtrum, placing filler only in the upper lip can weigh it down.
Instead of lift, you can get:
• Excess projection
• A puffy or heavy appearance
• Loss of natural definition
• A shadow where the top lip sits too far forward
These are features that rarely occur naturally, which is why they can look obvious.
My approach has always been about harmony.
The lips should balance each other. They should suit your profile, not just your selfie angle.
Sometimes a small amount in the lower lip creates far more balance than adding volume above.
Natural, proportionate and undetectable will always be my priority. This is not criticism. It is education and expectation management.
