Gortex in my Upper Lip, Can I Have Restylene Injected?

November 4, 2011
Asked By:Lastdance in Scotch Plains, NJ

Years ago, I had gortex put into my upper lip. Aging has caused my lips to thin. I'd like to have Restylene injected. Can this be done with the existing gortex in my upper lip? I'd rather not remove the gortex, just add the filler if possible. Thanks for your answer!
