Hey, this is my first time getting lips ever filled, normally I have very small lips so I understand this is swelling, however it's very one sided. I got 1ml, yesterday after the injections the swelling went out down still seemed lopsided, however over night the swelling has doubled again and there are very obvious lopsided points. Will this even out? Is it just my lips being more sensative at certain points? Also how can I help the healing process?
