Brent Moelleken, MD answers: Lip injection problem from KISS

I recently had a lip injection from a product called Kiss. It' very strange, when I smile my lip curls under, but when my lips are still they are full. Also, it feels very tight when I smile. How long will it take to feel more comfortable?

While odd sensations can just occur with hyaluronic acid injections during the acute phase of swelling, they can also indicate a herpes outbreak ready to start.  This would require antiviral medication.  Your doctor can help you factor out which is which.
