I am 24 hours post lip injections with Restalyne Silk to mostly top lip. I understand swelling is to be expected. My concern is that the majority of the swelling is above my lips giving me duck face. There is some swelling of my actual lip but it's above the lip that worries me. It feels very full like all the filler is in there but maybe that's the swelling I'm feeling? Hard to smile, it looks odd and I can't smile naturally. Will all of this recede or has the filler migrated???
