It is normal to wake up in the morning with lip swelling 3 weeks after lip injections and still feel tenderness?

Every morning my lips are more swollen and then the swelling seems to subside as the day goes on. It has been over 3 weeks since injections. Also, my lips feel weird, its like I can feel the filler when I purse them together. If I lightly squeeze my lips with my fingers it is tender. I wouldn't say painful but not comfortable either.

First off, your lips are quite full and attractive, with very minimal asymmetry. My advice, do nothing, because they are full and pretty, you run the risk of making the asymmetry appear more noticeable. Ask 3 friends If they think your lips are crooked, I will bet they don't even see it! Good luck!

Lip augmentation using a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane Silke or Juvederm Ultra will be the best option to provide soft, natural appearing lips.  In addition both of those fillers are reversible.
