One side of my lip has swelled up larger than the other after juvederm should I be worried? (photo)

dontforget1
After getting 1 syringe of juvederm injected in my lips the day before yesterday, I have experienced some bruising and swelling, which I expected. My lips were slightly swollen the day of the procedure and got worse the next day. By the end of the day the swelling had subsided everywhere except the left side of my bottom lip. It was slightly swollen at first then gradually got more puffy. I have been icing it, but it doesn't seem to help. Does this look normal? Or should I be concerned?
