Will lip filler look natural?
I want slightly fuller lips but I'm scared of looking like a duck. How do I ensure natural results?

Natural lip filler results are absolutely achievable with the right approach: Start small—especially for first-timers, 0.5ml (half a syringe) is a subtle enhancement. Choose an experienced injector who shows before/afters you like. Communicate clearly—bring photos of lips you find attractive AND unattractive. Expect to build gradually over 2-3 sessions rather than one dramatic change. Good technique respects your natural lip shape and proportions. The "duck lip" look comes from over-filling, poor technique, or repeatedly adding volume. A skilled injector will enhance your natural lips, not create a different shape. If you're nervous, start very conservative—you can always add more.
