I recently changed to a new lady for my lips as I wasn't happy with my lip shape from what a previous lady had done. When I went today to see her she advised me that she wouldn't do my top lip only dissolve it and re do. The previous lady has left me with bumps & migration in top lip (it curls up) and filler higher than my lip line.
