Extreme swelling of lips following Restylane silk injections. (photo)

Asked By:mkl1616 in Seattle, WA

I had my lips injected about 6 hours ago. For the first 2-3 hours, I thought they looked amazing! However, since then they have swelled significantly. I have done my research and know swelling is normal but is it to this extent? I'm embarrassed to go out in public.
