Hello, I had a 1/2 syringe of Juvederm injected into my lip border yesterday. When I smile it looks like I have a bump on each side of the lip. The bumps are a litter larger than a pea and go over the lip border onto my skin, as well as on my lip. They don't feel hard, could this just be swelling? I also have bruising along the border. Also, no juvederm was injected into the cupids bow area, is this area usually left alone? Thank you for your time :)
