One week after Juvederm? Still swollen? (Photo)

July 12, 2015
Asked By:worriedpatient1 in Texas, TX

I had one syringe of juvederm put into my lips last week for the first time. My doctor suggested no icing because he said it may move the juvederm around. It has now been an entire week and my lips still hurt. I have several lumps in the top, as well as a large bruise on the bottom. They are also extremely dry. I can not even rub my lips together when I put lipstick on. Is something wrong or is this normal? Are they just swollen or are they overfilled?
