I had 2ml of teosyal injected 2 weeks ago (have had filler previously and told my practitioner) My lips were extremely swollen the next day (1st & 2nd pic) each day the swellings improved slightly. Id wake up in the morning and my lips would be more swollen and would gradually go down during the day. I was told that all swelling should go down by 2 weeks but I've woken up this morning and they still felt swollen I asked my practitioner to remove the filler. Am I over reacting and acting to soon?
