I had one syringe of juvederm injected (with cannula). Immediately after the injection I could see a very strange swelling on the right side of my lower lip and after a week, it is still there.

I am willing to wait for another week to see if it'll smooth itself out, but I need confirmation that this is normal. This was my first experience and I do not like the way my lips look, my bottom lip especially.
