I had my lips done twice with juvederm, got an infection the third time (restalyne was used). Had it dissolved and redone again with restalyne and got an infection a month later). It is only one side of my lip that is getting infected. And even filler not in lips now I sometimes feel tingly sensation. Could this be biofilm? Should I not be getting them redone? Tips for success in getting them redone again?
