I've had filler placed on one side of my lip for asymmetry. Initially, I was very happy, but now it seems to be creating a heaviness in the white part of the lip on that side. Also, the red lip bows out. I spoke with my injector and she said filler can only be placed at the center of the lip and there's only so much room for the filler to go, so it's heading into the area above my red lip. Is there any way to prevent this? Can filler be placed so it creates downward volume rather than out?
