This is my second time getting lip injections. First time I had them done (0.6ml Restalyne) everything was great. 8 months later and I decided to get my lips done again. This time I wanted slightly more filler. The doctor injected 1.1ml of Perlane into my lips 3 days ago. My lips are tender and swelled. I can't smile properly and am really worried my top lip is too heavy? Are my lips still recovering? When I try to smile with teeth, it feels like I am stretching my top lip. Please help :(
