Big bubble on lip after anesthesia? (photos)

March 16, 2016
Asked By:marie1718 in New York, NY

I woke up from surgery (I had a BA) and it was general anesthesia, through a needle...I woke up with a big bubble on my lip. It's been a few hours and the bubble is still the same size. What in the world is this? Will it go away? Should I be worried? I'm freaking out
