I just got my bottom lip touched up with 0.4 Juvederm Plus. It has only been a few hours and I know from past experiences I am a sweller. I can see past the swelling and am pleased with the results from the front. But the bottom border of my lip is stiff and hard so I know she injected there way more than I am used to. Now it seems to be almost hanging down unnaturally - not a natural curve. If not resolved, can I get the reverse shot just along the border to only target this problem area? TY!
