4 Days Post Dermal Filler and Still Distinct Swelling in Smile Lines and Acne Scars- Done by Board Certified Doctor?

I'm only 22 but had developed a fine smile line and some creases when I smiled - I got these filled 4 days ago and I'm absolutely freaking out now. I have distinct 'worm like' thin swollen lines running from my nose to my mouth - I look horrible and cannot go out of the house I just want to cry. Please help me - I'm scared it will stay like this - is this normal and will go away soon? My acne scars are still swollen too but I dont care as much about them just looks like I have acne again lol.
