Enhancing the Vermilion Border with Lip Fillers
The vermillion border is the distinct boundary between the lip’s colored portion and the surrounding skin. It plays a crucial role in the overall appearance and definition of the lips. Your vermilion border – the outline around your lips – plays a surprisingly important role in how your lips appear. A well-defined vermilion border adds structure, shape, and youthful plumpness to the lips. With the power of dermal fillers, enhancing your vermilion border is now easier and safer than ever.
Understanding the Importance of the Vermilion Border
The vermilion border not only defines the lips but also contributes to overall facial harmony. A well-defined border enhances the contrast between the lips and surrounding skin, leading to a more vibrant and youthful appearance
