I had 1ml of Juvéderm ultra smile injected into my lips 12 months ago. I still feel the filler and that’s concerning me. When I had the fillers I wasn’t asked if I had raynauds and after some recent research about why I can still feel my fillers after 12 months I came across a site that said you shouldn’t get fillers if you have autoimmune diseases such as Raynauds. Can anyone advice me on my situation
