Is severe swelling on 1 side of lip normal? There’s a white patch where it feels like I can see filler through the lip. (photos)

I received 1ml of filler a few days ago into my lips with 0.7 in the top and the left side has swelled up significantly more and there looks like a white patch where I can almost see the filler through the lip! There is also still some pain as it’s very sore, I was wondering whether I should wait this out or not. I’ve attached some pictures.
