Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello, soft tissue of the lip is loose and so edema here leads to pain and swelling...It appears that edema occured as a result of physical trauma of the procedure..Yes, u may use ice , also take an antihistamine tab Atarax 25 mg twice daily for 3 days.
The condition should resolve by then
Thanks
Take care
