I’ve been working on my lips since December 2021. I had one syringe Dec 1st, another syringe Dec 29th, and half a syringe Mar 1. I'm expected back in September for another syringe. I was worried my filler was migrating but my nurse insisted that the ledge would get worse before better and that after my last session, it’d be gone after healing for 6 months. Is this true or are we just adding more filler to the problem? Thanks!
