I have had restlyn injected in my lips many times in the past year, so I kind know what to expect after the injection( swollen, bruise). However 11 days ago I decided switching to juvederm, and ever since the second day of the injection,ONLY my left side upper lip become very swollen and painful, and it has been 11 days now. I tried to massage it once but it hurt alot and made it worse after. It feels like a big hard painful lump when touching. It swells more after drinking alcohol too.
