When to Tell Juvederm Needs to Be Corrected?

I had Juvederm injected into my upper and lower lips 24 hours ago. My doctor used 1 1/2 syringes. He had difficulty balancing the left side of my upper lip with my right, and needed to keep adding filler to the left side. My left upper lip is very swollen and has a clear blister like bump under the lip. I am worried that this blister is excess filler and the swelling is just too much filler. How long before I can tell if I need corrective work?
