I had a lip-filler injected above my upper lip last Tuesday, with good results, although my lip sticks out farther on its left side. I had it done to rejuvenate my "smoker-lips". I don't recall what kind of filler my doctor administered, but my lips are still tender from the injection. Will this even out or do I have to go back to her to get the right side filled more? The lines on my lips look better but my smile is crooked. I can't even wear lipstick, as it makes it more obvious.
