Instead of majority of it at the lip and a fine line gradually getting smaller going to my nose, I got the opposite. Most of the bellafill is right below my nose with a slowly decreasing line towards my lip. Not an improvement in my profile. can I manually massage the filler downward towards my lip? I'm trying this, and it seems to help temporarily, but if I do it at night, it looks better but when I wake up its back to my nose again.
