Other lip procedures can enhance your lips in other ways as well. Creating balance between the upper and lower lips and reducing lips with significant projection are also options. These are fast procedures once an individualized plan is created. The bottom line is that no matter the lip, there are easy to achieve the golden ratio of projection and comparative volume between upper and lower lips.
