I had Radiesse injected in lips 15 months ago. Is filler still there? Is there a filler I could use to correct this? (photo)

Having your lips injected every month is a little excessive, since the filler really should last longer than that.  Try a different hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm Ultra Plus) as they should last longer than 1 month.  The fullness you see initially is likely from the filler taking...
