I'm 26 and had volbella injected 5 days ago into a couple fine lines I was noticing around my mouth. The physician that was injecting used a little over half of the 0.66 cc syringe between 3 lines on my face. 2 of the injection areas are raised and I can clearly see where the filler was injected and the swelling hasn't seemed to change/go down much. Any thoughts on if this is normal swelling or the result of the product being placed too superficially?
