Unhappy with protruding side profile after lip filler, how can this be corrected?

Question

I had fillers on upper lips. My top lips are protruded from my side profile. Are they botched? How do I fix it? The doctor at the clinic said it’s a preference, but I think it’s clearly botched.

I’m not sure what you were expecting getting fillers in your upper lip?
Typically, I recommend patients have both their upper and lower lips treated in order to maintain a natural volume ratio between the upper and lower lips.
Fillers will resolve themselves with time. Most HA fillers last six months, which means half your results will be gone in three months. I suggest you simply wait for the fillers to resolve themselves. Then you can reassess and ask yourself if having lip fillers is something you want to continue doing.
 The picture is a bit limited in regards to making a quality assessment, but it looks like a fairly typical result of having just your upper lip treated.
Best,
