Is it OK for one side of lip to remain harder than the other 3 weeks post lip filler? (Photos)

peppafin
I had my lips (top and bottom) injected three weeks ago with a lip filler and although I am very happy with the end visual result, I can't help but be aware that my top right lip still remains slightly firm compared to everywhere else. It does not hurt and I'm only aware if I lick my lip or attempt to lift my lips with my finger and thumb. Is this normal? My injector advised me to give it a firm warm massage but I'm nervous incase this will affect the overall look? Will this harden further?
