Can Restylane Be Added to Lips Already Filled With Permanent Silicone Microdroplets?

I had silicone microdroplets injected into my lips about 5 years ago and would like my lips plumped out a bit more. I'd like to just use a tiny bit of restylane in my lower lip and to correct some uneven-ness in my upper lip (one is higher than the other), to see how it looks before committing to more silicone. Can this be done? Can the 2 be combined with no bad effects?

So if there is any question of a problem after the Restylane has been added, you can "undo" it. There are very few treatments that can say the same... more

Combining Restylane with Silicone

Since it has been a long time since the silicone was injected, I think it is likely OK to inject the Restylane at this time.
