Injector gave me a vascular occlusion 3 weeks go which caused blistering above my lip on a small patch, dissolved all the filler in my top lip now lips look funny, can I correct my lips or does this mean I cannot do filler again? She definitely put too much which I believe caused it but now the top lip is empty is it safe to seek correction with a small amount of filler? Because we dissolved all the filler in my nasolabial folds is gone too and my face looks out of proportion
