Lip line very hard after Restylane lip filler 4 days ago. (Photo)

coco01772Aug 22, 2017
I had my lips filled with 1ml of restayline nearly 4 days ago. Most of the swelling has gone but my lip line is still very stiff and at points, difficult to move. Is this normal? I've also been left with a white line around my lip, will this go??
