I had .5 ml of Restylane 3 weeks ago in my top lip, I loved the results on day one but after the swelling had gone down I can't see any difference other than a fuller lip above my actual lips. My lips are not symmetrical naturally which I noticed more after having the filler. I've asked the doctor to put another .5 ml in but she said no and to wait for a few months.
