I had lip filler 2 years ago and it left my lips in a rough shape. My injector told me to massage my lips to disperse the filler evenly and prevent built up filler but my right side feels like there is no filler while the left is so heavy, even with regular massages. I was born with a dimple in my upper lip on the right side which I wanted filled but the filler took to every part of my lip besides this dimple/ indent making it look bigger. I tried botox/ lip flip with no luck
