Pain and swelling from cheek retractor in teeth whitening procedure days on. Help! (Photo)

matekate
I went to get my teeth whitened the other day and experienced an intitial swolen upper lip (mostly in the middle) and a bit on my lower lip. I thought this was normal but two days on my lip is still swolen read and in pain just in the middle from what I presume was the check retractors and a mix of UV light. It looks like I’ve gotten botched lip injections. Will these stretched lips heal or what can I do? My lips are NEVER this plump and I can’t find anyone who has had the same problem
