After only .5 lip injection of restylane very swollen. (photos)

December 15, 2016
Asked By:Krismi in Atlanta, GA

I had a .5 of restaline injected into my lips today and my lips were a normal size when I left the doctor. They keep swelling and hurt and there is a moderate amount of pain radiating from my mouth into my teeth cheeks and jaw. Is this normal or am I having a reaction?
