The best fillers for lip augmentation are going to be soft fillers that don't create bumps or nodules and that don't move or migrate over time and as you move your lips and mouth.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, are excellent for use in the lips because they are soft and provide a very natural result. Collagen is also used for the lips, but doesn't last as long as the hyaluronic acid fillers.

The older collagen products (Zyplast and Cosmoplast can be injected into the lips. The newer collagen product , Evolence, is not suppose to be injected in the lips.

I had a type of bovine collagen filler for my marionette lines, minor lines above my upper lip and to raise my cheeks. My lip and area above are too big. Also, there are lumps on the top of each side. 3 months post-treatment, my smile has turned into only a joker smile or one in which my upper gums show. This recent change is upsetting. Is my only hope to have it dissolved? Does this happen to others sometimes?
