I had lips injected with juvederm ultra plus 5 days ago. I bleed a lot during injections, had minimal bruising, & swelled the first night. On the 2nd day from injections, I felt my both lips getting hard, but didn’t think much of it since I assumed hardning was apart of the healing. Currently on my 5th day, upper lip is doing just fine But, lower is extremely stiff. Why is this, what should I do, & is this normal?I’ve been told to wait 2 weeks but I’m concerned & want to speed up the process.

This looks like bruising. Icing and arnica may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!
