Tightness in lips and bottom gum and teeth pain that follows through to the chin

Question

I had my lips injected around 10 hours ago in Essex , they felt tight from the start once the procedure was finished so I'm sure that this is normal . However , I'm experiencing extreme pain in my gums and teeth at the bottom , along with pain in my bottom lip and the pain drags down to my chin and under my tongue .. is this normal ?

I'm sorry to hear about the pain you're having. This is usually a very concerning sign and you need an in-person evaluation from your injector/physician. I recommend you call right away.Best wishes. Dr. ALDO

Pain can be variable, but your description doesn't sound typical. I recommend following up with your injector. If necessary, the filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Having some tightness and discomfort is common after injection into the lips. However, if you having more pain than usual this may indicate something more severe. If necessary the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend following up with your injector right away for evaluation and proper treatment. Best of Luck!

Some tightness and discomfort is normal after lip injection but you have more pain than usual and this may indicate a nerve was iaccidentally hit which is not a big problem As long as yhou do not jhave any discoloration and severe pain in the area it is probably ok but it would be a good idea to return to your doctor for evaluation

Pain can mean many different things.  I urge you to contact your injector and be evaluated in person...
