I had filler done in November 2023. Immediately, after the filler was injected, my lips swelled up and turned blue with a bruise mostly in one spot - upper left. She dissolved but it didn't completely get rid of left side I think. Now, ever since, my lip repeatedly cracks and peels, heals but then immediately crack and peels again. I don't feel safe going back to her. I believe she used teoxane. Any advice? I have limited access to medical care.
