One week after 1 ml of Restylane on upper lip and no difference noticeable? (photo)

Question

One week ago I inject 1 ml of Restylen in my upper lip. I said to the doctor that I want a noticeable difference. I liked how swollen was in the next 3 days, but day by day it was fading . Now I can feel something hard on the line shape of my lip and no volume. What should I do? Should I pay again 1 ml or the doctor should do it for free?thank you!upper photo is after one week and the pink one is before.

I'm sorry to hear you're not happy with your injection. I think you should go back to your injector for a follow up with your injector and discuss your concerns about the lips. Yes, you may have to have more injected and a different product that is more hydrophyllic. However, more hydophyllic products could lead to a more dramatic results (fish lips) and not as natural as your lip augmentation looks now.

If your require more volume to have the correction you desire then you can purchase another syringe to add more volume.  I offer discounts on the second syringe for this reason.  It is better to not over augment an area.
