How long until Restylane Bumps on Lip smooth out?

Had my upper lip boosted with restylane 3 days ago. I'm happy with the shape and size. However, I can still feel significant bumps on my inner upper lip where the doc injected. I was told they would smooth within 3 to 4 days....they are not smoothing out as of yet. Anyone have exp with this? I'm hoping they go away soon! Also, is fat transfer to the lip a good way to go?? I'm testing resty to see if i might do something more permanent. Thanks!!

Fat transfers are a great option and usually I explain to my patients that it requires about 2-3... more
