I hope somebody can help me and give me answers to a problem which has made me cry day after day. I had my lips done by a doctor around 3 months ago, and almost immediately after that, I noticed a big ball swelling on my upper lip, which the doctor assured me would dissapear in a week. The doctor inserted what she called a "natural" and temporary collagen called "TEOSYAL kiss" into my lips. Is it really that my lips are sensitive, or did she inject the gel incorrectly into my lips? When will this ball dissapear completely?
