This is my second time having fillers, first appt I had half ml and second appt a full ml. I saw two different PS, 2nd doc was obviously more experienced & professional. 1 month post appt I wanted more fullness. Second doctor noticed my face slants slightly so she put most of the syringe in the upper right and lower left of lips to even out. Bumps have formed where the filler is. I am 3 days post op. What can I do? Will massaging help? Should I call their office? Am I botched?
