Was This Lip Injection Done Properly, and How Can I Reduce the Bruising? (photo)

MuchTooVain
I had Belotero injected into my upper lip area, day before yesterday. I am worried that it's way too much (an entire syringe there) and am concerned about the bruising. The doctor injected lidocaine in several places, then applied ice, then multiple "sticks" for the injections, massaging rather aggressively after each. Is this a normal technique, and is this bruising a normal result? (I've tried calling the doctor but it's a holiday weekend. No call back yet.) Will I look okay in a few days?
