What can be done to fix lips? Had Artefill injected 10 years ago and it looks terrible. (photos)

Asked By:Luvtorock in Southfield, MI

I had Artefill injected around 10 years ago and regret it. It looks like it was injected below my bottom lip border and is very assymetrical. Is there anyway to fix there or at least make it appear more normal. It looks like two blobs under my lip. Thanks
