Hello,
I am interested in silicon lip enhancement to make my lips a little fuller and more defined.

I recently vacationed in Bangkok and noticed many clinics advertising "Lip Lighteners". Since I could not read Thai I did not know how the procedure went about but I saw pictures of purple/brown lips change color to a less purple and more peachy color lip.
