Can overfilled lips be corrected? What are my options? Concerned about bumps and possible migration.(photos)

Asked By:Thoughtful720107 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania

I had bad lip filler removed - however there were a few small bumps under the upper lip. I went elsewhere to have the upper refilled (left the bottom as is was) 1 full syringe of some sort upper Restylane was used. It is obvious that it’s overfilled at the top center so the top lip is bumpy but it also flips up really high when I smile the sides of the lip down. It appears that the overfilling may have caused migration, lips turned way down. Upper flips to open and flat with bumps. Help!
