Hiya, I recently got lip fillers (1ml) however for some odd reason my upper right and left vermilion borders have small lumps/blister(white) it seems like my upper lip has discoloured and it does itch now and then. Further to this, today is the 5th day and I don't really want to get them dissolved; swelling is still there. I was wondering if someone can help me.
