Asked By:diannmperez in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

I had my lips done for the first time and immediately after my upper lip swelled like a ducks beak! My best friend had hers done with me and hers look great. I am on Humira, not sure if that would of caused the severity. Is this normal and if so what can I do help the heeling process?
