Hi There, I had less than one cc of Juvederm pluss 2 weeks ago for correction & the centre part of my top lip is still bubble like and swollen looking? Although I feel like all the swelling has gone now. Could this still be swelling or internal bruising?, or was the filler placed incorrectly and over done in this one area?.
