Possible (delayed) reaction to lip filler? (Photo)

April 2, 2015
Asked By:realself98 in Surrey, BC

I had the marionette lines of my mouth (along the top outline of my top lip) injected with juvaderm (which I have been doing for over a year with no reaction) my last injection was a month ago and tonight my top lip (first affecting the right side, but now beginning to affect the left side) started to swell. It isn't painful, just swollen. What on earth is happening and what should I do? Should I just wait and hope it goes away?
