Is my bruise underneath my lip (after having restylane injected into my lips) anything to be concerned about? (photos)

I had 1ml of restylane injected into my lips yesterday at 11am. I knew that there would be some swelling and bruising and I did have a bruise on my lower lip. I woke up this morning feeling less swollen and in less discomfort. However within the last hour I have developed bruising under my bottom lip. I'm confused and a bit worried. Is it normal to develop more bruising later on? And why is it in the site that wasn't injected? Sorry that the lighting isn't great in the photo.
