Juvederm & Restylane don't work on me. Lips remain plump & swollen for 1 day & then go back to normal! Am I metabolizing it?

This only refers to injections in my lips. Why is this happening? What other product/injection should I try? I've seen nurse injectors, doctors, and plastic surgeons. The plastic surgeon says theres no reason this should be happening. Why is this happening? Am I metabolizing it? is this common or unheard of? I've heard about the silicon injections which are permanent, but I read about it & it sounds dangerous.
