I do not suggest Artefill around the lips. It will be lumpy and is permanent
filler. Once it is in place we can not remove the product. It is also
contraindicated by the company to place it around the lips.
You can use Juvederm or Restylane around the lips and get a nice result.

I just got Restylane above my lips (the smoking lip area), and after 3 hours it was completely gone. I am scared to try Restylane under the eye due to my skin absorbing the product too fast. My physician recommended I get Artefill. Would that work? I am 40 years old and my eyes are not too bad.
