Is it normal for one side on my lip to look bigger after lip augmentation? (Photo)

Asked By:dhuff1990 in Salt Lake City, UT

I just got my top lip done yesterday .5cc to be exact. I wanted something natural. I noticed while getting the injections that it bled more on the side that is bigger. I know the next day is the “duck lips” but I’m nervous because it hurts to move the side that is smaller. And is it normal for the smaller side to feel hard and hurt?
