Fat transfer to upper lip uneven after procedure; is it normal? (Photo)

March 11, 2017
Asked By:leahdang89 in Hampden Sydney, VA

After the procedure my right upper lip are bigger, more swollen than left. When i touch the left i feel its flat, no pain, no swelling while touching the right its lumpy, a little pain and feel fat inside. Seem like doctor has forgotten to inject the left. Doctor say its just different swelling. Im really worried abt the shape and the balance of my upper lips. Is this normal to have a side which is more swollen and feel completely different to the other side?
