Hi, I had my lips done about 5 days ago and I noticed the top lip (where I got a lot of the one syringe injected) looks a bit whitish. I'm concerned this means it wasn't done deeply enough or will it take time/massage to even out? I can still see the needle mark bruises in the top lip. They were very swollen 2 days ago and just started getting smaller, and are still tender. I am hoping this isn't serious, I'm so happy with the shape and I don't want it dossolved. Thanks!!
