I got Restylane injections in my upper and lower lip about a week ago. The my lips are only full behind my lip by my teeth. My doctor told me to come back in to see here soon (my appointment will be 2 weeks after the injections)so she can move the filler around to the correct place. I'm slightly concerned because I feel like the injections should have been placed in the correct spot in the first place. Can Restylane even be moved around 2 weeks after injections or is she blowing smoke up my bum?

I personally prefer Vitrase to dissolve the fillers and if done in the right hands should remove all of the injections that you don't like. I prefer Belotero for the delicate area under the eye. These injections are an advanced training. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
I would consult your internist to make sure there is not a medical reason for your fluid retention to alleviate this problem. I find that sometimes Belotero causes less fluid retention. Best, Dr. Green
I would definitely return to my treating physician for examination. It is possible that you have an allergic reaction or an infection that may need attention. Consider Belotero in the future. Best, Dr. Green
