Our culture lately has emphasized what Shakespeare so aptly described, but we now actually have the ability to make lips "tempting grow." Having performed cosmetic injections since the earliest days, I remember our first lip fillers as synthetic sutures we threaded within the lips-- sometimes four at a time-- cutting off each end and burying them deep within the lip tissue.
