In the hands of an experienced practitioner, restylane can produce excellent results for restylane.  However, restylane must be injected properly and in appropriate amounts to provide natural looking results.

There is nothing that is 100% but properly done lip injections yield excellent results most of the time.  Lip injections are tricky and several different options are used for the actual injections.  The techniques must be mastered by the plastic surgeon and used appropriately in each patient.  This is not a one size fits all. Lip injections require determining what is best for each patient and then performing the injections appropriately to achieve the desired results.
