I've always wanted the look of a soft plump and voluminous pout, especially on my top lip. I decided to go to "Appearance Dermatology" in English Creek, NJ. I told the doctor that and she suggested I get 2 syringes instead of one which is what I was hoping to get. Thinking she knew better I decided to purchase the hefty 2 and was over the top nervous/excited to finally get the look I've been dying to get. Until I was shown what my lips looked like after she was done and I was nearly brought to tears..the only thing that heldentenor back was that I didn't want to cry in front of the doctor and the nurse. I hated what she did! My lips looked deformed and later noticed that my lips formed bruising, more so on the inside corner of my mouth and unevenness that I had already voiced was a concern of mine enhanced (which I think is caused by her putting more fluid on the side I already had an unevenness). Later I started to feel bumps all around the inside of my lip and as the day is going I'm getting more swollen and I'm sending throbbing, tightness and discomfort. I also find that I can't purse my lips and if I were to go to drink out of a straw, or close it on a fork or spoon I'm feeling a tightness and slight pain! I'm so upset and disappointed and crushed. I spent way more that I anticipated and the results left me feeling deformed. Please, I'm asking any doctors with experience and knowledge, is this normal? Will it go away? Or should I get the enzyme to dissolve it. If so would it be fair for them to charge me or would they need to waiver the charge because of their incompetence?

Your swelling will go down give it a week I don't think it looks bad now but if you hate it in a week and if they are uneven I would ask for the dissolve treatment

It can take awhile to be able to judge your result, it is still too soon. You do not look "deformed" by any means - even with obvious and normal swelling, but I have to say that your lips were stunning before. Be patient for a week or two, and at that point you can always go back to have it dissolved if still unhappy. Hang in there, and best of luck!

I think your lips are pretty! I just had mine done and was scared because they looked uneven and they bruised pretty badly too. Maybe next time just get 1 syringe in the top and put it in the center of the lip, ask them not to fill in the edges (border). Your bottom lip is full without.

Has the swelling gone down?
