Can I go to a different injector for touch-up lip injections? 1 week post op.

Asked By:serendipity1996 in United Kingdom, GB

I have VERY thin lips and had 1ml of filler injected about a week ago at a reputable clinic about an hour away. Although the job was well done I am looking for a dramatic difference so want to get more filler injected. I have found another good clinic nearer where I live where I could get a touch-up. Is this common? Or would I have to start from scratch with a second injector? I would hope not since the first 1ml was well injected but I want more than what 1 syringe can achieve.
