A month after lip filler and dissolver... lips look terrible! (Photos)

goldengirl555Dec 4, 2017
I got lip fillers 4 weeks ago. Immediately I knew one side was asymmetrical but thought it may be swelling. Two weeks later, she put a bit of hyaluronidase but no change. My lips look great when they are closed and I smile but when I talk or have my mouth open, they look unslightly because of the bump. Injector said it may be excess skin being pushed up by the filler? Could it be a mucous cyst? I want to keep my new lips but without this unsightly bump.What is this bump and what are my options?
