Hello, I just got lip injections yesterday and I am really unhappy. Is it normal for my lips to be stiff and swollen. I feel like the middle section of my upper lip is very big and whenever I smile it looks stiff and covers most of my teeth. Wil my lips get better and should I just be patient or will they be like this permanently ?
