Very asymmetrical swelling night of Restylane injections? (photos)

January 20, 2016
Asked By:mackenziekatz in Las Vegas, NV

Not going to lie, right after the injections were done (just one syringe for upper+lower lip), my lips weren't swollen and they looked great. However as the night progressed, as you can see in the photos, it began to swell. My concern is whether the asymmetricality of my lips (The bottom lip to be more specific) is a result of swelling, or uneven injections. I'm desperate, and absolutely devastated. Please help.
