This could be overfill, cold sore or another issue. I recommend seeing someone other than the person who injected your lips. I question the clinical judgement for providing this treatment for you.
I suggest going back to your physician to get a formal evaluation to determine if this is a cold sore or apthous ulcer versus filler swelling. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I would advocate seeing your injector for an in-person evaluation. Due to the limited views of your lips it is hard to determine exactly what the lumps are as they may represent filler, lip glands, virus activation, blisters, etc. Once a diagnosis is made then an appropriate treatment can be recommended. Hang in there.
Yes. This looks like a cold sore. They are often "triggered" by stress such as injections. Call your injector and have them prescribe an anti-viral medication such as valcyclovir.
You should see a board certified Plastic Surgeon or M.D. who is familiar with complications that can arise after lip augmentation. It could be a cold sore or another type of viral infection. Your lips are quite swollen and look over filled. You should see someone sooner than later.
Your lips appear significantly overfilled in my opinion. Blisters after lip filler can represent many things as a number of the experts on this panel have indicated.

Only then will you receive the proper care. Sorry to hear about your problems and best of luck recovering.Damon B. Chandler, MDHarvard-Penn Trained Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon

You need to be evaluated in person by your injector. This could be a herpes outbreak which is easy to treat or something more serious. Either way, it isn't something that can be evaluated online.
The honest truth is that there are multiple methods for lip injection and the choice of technique depends on the lip you are injecting. A smart injector will know several methods and choose the one most appropriate for that individual patient, rather than going with a "one size fits all"...
I agree you are having more swelling than average. Lips do tend to swell more than other areas, and in the first 48 hours, a dramatic response like you are having is possible. It will get better, but it may take a couple days. Some things that can help are to ice the area, but you...
You have a very pretty and symmetrical face. While you cannot look like Megan Fox, you can enhance your look with cosmetic procedures as well as with makeup. Megan not only was blessed with great bone structure, she also has her hair and makeup professionally done and is only photographed in...
Yes. Dermal fillers do a nice job of fixing mild asymmetry such as yours. There are quite a few new ones on the market (Vollure, Volvella) that deliver really lovely, natural looking results.
