Asked By:noyb86

After the doctor injected dental block under my top lip, right top lip swelled up, the doctor said it was normal. I got injections twice before with D.B. and this never happened. She then injected juvederm into top and bottom lips. Next morning, right side of my top lip was quadruple in size and I was in agony. The pain made my entire head throb. Pain subsided next day but 4 days have passed and my top right lip is still triple in size. From nose down is swollen as well & stillcompletely numb.
