I had lip filler 8 years ago in one side & after a late onset inflammatory reaction I have been left with these uneven lips. The filler was manually squeezed out 8 years so I guess this is scar tissue. Looks okay at rest or semi mile but when I smile widely you can see the difference. I feel I can see people looking at it.
