What to Do Now After a Botched Lip Reduction? (photo)

brennaw
had lip reduction procedure 1 year ago on top and bottom lips to remove silicone injections there. doctor placed incisions high up inside my lips, close to gums, rather than placing it where most doctors do on the wet and dry portion of inside vermillion. Now the philtrum and above mentolabial sulcus is swollen and protruding, analogous to mouth of an ape or camel. What can i do now? will steroids help? 5fu? im so depressed from this i cant eat, sleep, embarrassed to be in public, Please HElP!
