Asked By:Britgirl79

I had my lips injected for the first time exactly one week ago. I immediately expressed my concern at the lumps that were apparent on the inside of my top lips. They look like clear pockets and when I smile they almost hang down giving my top lip an uneven and unnatural, was advised its swelling and that it would subside in a few days. I called her 2 days later and advised to massage and wait until the end of the week. Also advised it could be tissue displacement. 7 days later no change
