4 days after lip injection s- how to tell the difference between swollen or overfilled lips? (photos)

Asked By:littleone1435 in Los Angeles, CA

4 days ago I went in for my second syringe of juvaderm 4 months after the first syringe . A full syringe was used both times. Now I am afraid that the second syringe was too much and that I have overfilled my lips. I have already put ice for extended periods and the "swelling" has not gone down at all. I know it has only been 4 days but I'm really hoping this is not the end result. How can I tell if my lips are still just swollen or if this is the end result ?
