Lips uneven or too big after Restylane lips?

I had lip augmentation (Restylane) 4 weeks ago and now have this "ducky" look in my upper lip. I know that restylane can last for up to 6 months. I definitely don't want to walk around looking this way for such a long time. Is there any way to improve the look of my upper lip? I massage it every day using a massager with heat and cold. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.

A: Lip augmentation - Restylane

Michael Kulick, MD

 You should be OK by now. The suggestion offered should have corrected any significant problem you had with injecting Restylane in your lip. If not, see another doctor for treatment options.

A: Hyaluronidase = Restylane Reversal

Anil R. Shah, MD

Hyaluronidase is a material which breaks up Restylane and other injectable fillers with Hyaluronic Acid. The material has been well studied and within 24 hours most of the material will be dissolved if performed correctly. Caution that it can cause bruising more easily than the filler and can sting a bit.

I had my lips done yesterday and i wish id saved my money, it cost me £465.00 in total and although my lips are bigger its hardly noticeable, certainly not £465.00 bigger, also my lips feel like someone has inserted a stiff peice of wood on my upper lip cos i cant move it properly. my lips pretrude out not upwards so you can only notice some difference when i turn to the side and i look like a fish, facing forwards it isnt much different. Absolute waste of money and i am only writing this to warn other people not to bother, you wont come out with Pamela Andersons lips, it feels wierd and uncomfortable like there is a rod in your lips and i feel so guilty that i could of given £465.00 to someone in need or bought my son some toys rather than altering my lips by 1mm. Also 6 months it last for, thats £77.50 per month for no difference.
