I had 1ml injected into my lips by someone who has won awards for doing lips. She is reputable but 6 months have passed and I still have pin prick like scars on my like which look really unsightly. It's really getting me down. I have spoken to her and all she keeps telling me is my lips are a great shape and that these will go away? I'm not convinced. Will they ever go away or is there something gnu can do to remove them? I have to wear lipstick to try and hide them everyday :-(
