I had silicone lip injections 6 years ago. the dr put in 2 cc at once resulting in a overdone look. anyways, about two days ago they swelled even bigger and are very painful. what can be done? i dont really trust my dr after he had a agreed to only put 1 cc in. thanks
i think you may have an infection. you may need long-term antibiotics like 4 to 6 weeks and 5-FU injections to manage the situation. unfortunately, you must find a qualified physician to help you manage things.
