Worried doctor overfilled my lips. 2cc's Restylane Silk (Photo)

February 3, 2017
Asked By:sste in Denver, CO

I had lip augmentation done today. The doctor injected Restylane silk into my top and bottom lip. He used 2cc's- 1cc for top and 1 cc for bottom- two full syringes in total. My lips are now painful, swollen and appear duck-like. I'm terrified. Everything I'm reading is telling me that 1cc between both lips is normal. I wanted a "natural" look. They also appear very uneven on the bottom and are brushing terribly. I also paid close to $1,500. I don't know what to do. Is this normal?!
