Very swollen after Restylane injected into a deep vertical lip line above my upper lip. Is this normal?

clare wisdom
I had Restylane injected into a deep vertical lip line above my upper lip. It looked great right after the procedure, but 20 minutes later....I have a lopsided upper lip! Was not expecting this. Is this normal? My concern is that it appears as though my actual lip is swollen, and the filler was placed into a line/wrinkle above my lip. It's bad enough that if I had to work, I would call in sick.
