They are actually not all the same and there are ones that should never be used in the lip.

One thing that's very important is to find a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is familiar with the different products available and can choose a product that's best for you.

I tend to prefer only hyaluronic acid products for injections in the lips, and that would be products like Restylane or JUVÉDERM Ultra. These have a very natural look in the lip, because hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient to the skin, and it holds water in the skin, and can give a very nice natural plumpness to the lip and to the lines around it.

But it has to be done very carefully and gently in order to look natural.
