Would you call this a botched lip job? (Photo)

Asked By:ayimlarck in Orangeville, Utah

I received lip filler in January, 2023. The clinic injected 2ml into my lips. They were incredibly painful and swollen. Even after the swelling decreased, I had huge 'shelves' on both sides of my top lip, and the outer edges of my upper lip literally curled 'down'. The clinic claims they did nothing wrong, despite looking at my lips. I'm still reducing my lips. Do they look botched to you, or am I overracting?
