I got my lips injected with Revanesse kiss three days ago. One side of my mouth was completely disfigured, and it still remains this way. I was told the swelling will go down, but is this normal? Why did one side become bumpy while the other side is healing nicely? Also, what should I do to reduce the swelling? I’ve been using arnica and icing. However, I have been smoking, while this prolong the lumps?
