Extreme swelling after Juvederm lip filler? (Photo)

LindaPrusko
I got Juvederm in my lips today and immediately after I noticed the top lip was swollen to where I looked like a duck, but it wasn't too bad. After about an hour, my top lip got really big, and now hours later my top lip is HUGE. He put almost a full syringe in my top lip, and just a tiny leftover bit in my bottom lip on one side. I took an antihistamine because I return to school on Monday and I'm scared the swelling won't be gone by then.Do you think he put too much in my top lip? too swollen?
