I had lips done in February, 2023 with different filler; not that full, looked fine. Think it was Votello? End of March I got Restylane Lyft in upper checks. migrated to under eyes. Hard, black and blue saddlebags sooo swollen. Went back, told to use hot compress, antihistamine. Looks like i have been beaten up! Now, in April my lips are exploding!!
