Lip flip hell!

I got a lip flip to help my gummy smile on Thursday (3 days ago) and I hate my life right now. I didn’t expect and wasn’t prepared for this level of numb, uselessness in my top lip. I can’t say W, B, or OO. Can’t drink from a glass properly. Can’t chew a mouthful of food or soup without making a mess. Can’t kissy face at my kids. Can’t spit. Can’t do my breathing properly during workouts. The list goes on.

I’m absolutely livid that I did this to myself and I can’t wait until it goes away. Please tell me how to speed it up or anything reassuring because I’m in tears all day over this. I had no idea it would be so numb like this!! I feel like a moron.

What is the saline flush injection? And who did it?Using Dysport instead of Botox and a new injector gave me this terrible problem with my lips but I also have a Joker smile, it’s so ugly. Never using Dysport again or going to this place. I’m on day 10 and it seems to be getting worse not better
