If my Doctor Injected Restylane Wrong, Do I Have to Pay for Another Syringe to Correct the Mistake?

hapake
The doctors assistant injected MUCH more restylane in one side of the lip. it looks like I have a huge bump hanging down on one side, and I cannot smile at all because of this huge lump on one side. I used up all of the restylane I had left in the syringe, and cannot afford to buy a whole other syringe just for the tiny amount needed to even out the mistake. What do I do in this situation? should the doctor offer to fix the problem? or do I just have to pay again?
