I'm due to have lip fillers next Saturday (Juvederm) but i have been unwell for the past 2 weeks with my throat suspected tonsillitis and suffering with my sinuses due to my hay fever allergies. I was given antibiotics for my throat and is using a steroid spray for my nose but i am still feeling unwell. It could now possibly be glandular fever, if so would i still be able to attend my appointment or would it not be wise to have fillers done at this time? What could happen if i did. Thanks.

Yes, it looks like the filler was injected outside of your vermillion border. The only thing you can do to get rid of it is either wait for the filler to dissolve on its own, or get hylenex injections to dissolve it.
The best recommendation will come after an evaluation with an experienced injector. Typically 2ml is used for the face but your injector will be better able to advise you after an assessment.
Some people respond better to a particular type of filler. Overall any hyaluronic acid should give you your desired result if injected properly. Moreover, there are different factors that determine how to appropriately administer a filler.
