Hi, I had my lips filled now my top lip has swelled and it protrudes over my bottom lip. They were filled yesterday so this photo is around 24hours after. I know the swelling will go down and that unevenness in the swelling can occur, but I can feel the filler in my top lip and I think that the general shape will remain the same.
