I had Restaylne L injections 3 days ago. Two syringes total. I was in a lot of pain in my upper lip and my upper lip is bumpy. The doctor said he used a little more on the upper lip than lower. Is there asymetry with my lips? Do they appear to be proportionate? There is also minor bruising above my lips. I had this procedure 10 months ago and used 1-1/2 syringes and never felt pain like this time around?
