About 2 weeks ago, I got some injections (Radiesse) into my lips, nasolabial folds and into the horizontal crease I've had between my nose and the upper lip. However, I noticed that the distance between my lip and my nose has increased. I've had my lips and nasolabial folds done multiple times, but never had such a terrible look.
