Do I Need 2 Syringes of Restylane to Notice a Difference?

kate h
I got 1 syringe of restylane to my lips and after 5 days they look how they did prior to the injections. Im very upset and feel like I wasted my money and time. I saw my doctor today and she wouldn't do anything about it and actually seemed to be mocking me a little bit. She said i needed 2 syringes to make it noticeable. Is it common for 1 syringe to just go away after that short amount of time? And do I need 2? That just doesn't sound right to me.
