On Friday I had restylane injected in to my top and bottom lip (0.5ml - had 0.5ml 2 months ago also). I have lip fillers often and sometimes swell, this time is different... I went out Friday night and they were a little puffy, woke up Saturday morning and they were a little puffy, up all day I went for dinner Saturday night and by 11pm the left side of my top lip had a big hard lump, woke up Sunday (now) and the left side is huge and hard. Help. I'm really worried (and go on holiday Wednesday)
