Last week I had my 2nd enhancement with 1ml Juvaderm, where previously back in Feb, I had 1/2ml Restylne. I have woke up this morning, 4 days later, with a lump of Juvaderm on the left side of my top lip & looks like it's going to burst. It has blisterd like a coldsore. I'm massaging the lip but it's so sore & stings. I'm applying Vaseline & ice to sooth the pain & get rid of some swelling but nothing is happening. Does this mean my lip is rejecting the injection & will the reaction get worse?
