Lips look terrible after dissolving old filler (Photo)

sabaiiJun 6, 2022
I had been told to dissolve my 18 month old lip filler. The result is horrible, my lips are sunken in and wrinkling. My lips before filler were not this shriveled up looking not as thin. I expected it to look thinner but not sinking in. The injector says this is normal. However I can’t see anyone else with these bad results. Help
