Asked By:tsikis in Manhattan, NY

i got restalyne lip injections about 2 months ago for my fist time(1ML)not really happy with how the top lip settled. looks llike the restayline settled above my lipliner instead of on my actual lip. i dont understand y the restalyne is so high when he injected it on my actual lip. has this happened to anybody before? Not sure if i should go to a diff doc or use a diff product and have him inject it lower. i want to even it out. can i remove some and have the doc re-inject it lower?
