Lip filler damage. Was my vermillion border damaged and will it go away or do I need a procedure? (photos)

Asked By:charob in Altamonte Springs, FL

I got lip fillers done 2/3 years ago and believe there is damage and would like advice if plastic surgeons have encountered this before - on and off redness above upper left lip - numbness and tingling comes and goes - lip fillers have been dissolved 2 times without lip filler in place and redness / numbness persists - got this done by a GP on training day- I think she damaged my vermillion border possibly ?? Will this go away? Thank you
