hi, I had one syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus injected about 48 hours ago and cant tell whether im swollen or whether the filler has leaked. I asked to have my bridge built up and my tip refined (to be less bulbous), and am not happy with the tip. It looks asymmetrical, wider, and lacks "nose-like" contours.
