Nerve irritation following lip injections - How long will this last? (Photos)

September 16, 2016
Asked By:kathysf55 in Francisco, IN

I had lip injections done 5 days ago by a board certified doctors,and both of my lips now do a bit of twitching when I do certain movements also when putting lip liner on if I press down too hard the right side is bothered due to pressure on left side and vice versa. I saw my primary physician she said it seems that it could be due to the traumas caused by the needle/injection technique aggravating the nerve endings. I am wondering how long does the occasional muscle twitches last?
