Hello! I had less than 1 full syringe of juvederm ultra plus on Friday morning (3days ago). He injected only upper lip & added more to even one side out. They swelled up very fast. I don't mind the look in my first pics but now I have a huge duck bill, stiffness, bruises & lumps. I took bromelain & arnica prior & still am & I've been icing it for 20 minutes every hour for the last 48 hours. I'm panicking & am supposed to return to work tomorrow. Is this a botched job? Please help.
