Flu shot, one day after swollen lips. Will it affect Rhinoplasty?

January 29, 2015
Asked By:Ahmed Anwar in Miami, FL

I got a flu shot yesterday because I am volunteering and it's required. A day after I woke up with really swollen lips--almost looses like female lip injections--, and I am creating a correlation with the flu shot. Will my upper lip swelling negatively affect the results of my surgery, which was 6 and a half weeks ago. Also wil getting more shots (MMR) adversely affect anything. Thank you.
