Too much Restylane lips - trout pout!

the duck look after lip augmentation is very common. in my practice i use only one sryinge for the first injection and am very conservative in augmenting the border b/w white and red lip which can give you a duck look. give yourself a week. swelling can make you panic initially. juvederm and restylane can be melted with a compound called hyaluronidase. Make sure you select an experienced surgeon to inject this.

I have had my lips done with restylane MANY times. I too have had the "Duck" look. I kept icing them and tried stretching my mouth out by pretending I was screaming and saying the vowel sounds... A E I O U. Believe it or not but it seemed to absorb some of the restylane in my lip. You have only had 1 day to re coop. I promise by a week it will look alot better! The lips tend to swell badly. I am having a problem with restylane around my mouth area. I had it done 2 weeks ago, minimal swelling. Now all the sudden, I have a knot the size of a lima bean there. Anyone reading this any explanation or can you help?? I called my doctor and OF COURSE... he went on vacation and they dont consider this an emergency. So... anyone? Ever heard of this happening?

yes and im freaking out, i am swollen like a golf ball on my cheek. how are you doing?

Massage the lumps in your lips, it will go away.

I had restylane done last tuesday and I read (on the web) that benadryl makes the swelling go down faster. I took it last wednesday night b/f bed and saw a big difference the next morning. I really don't know if it was b/c of the benadryl or not but it helped me. Good luck

Bellbelle, I am EXACTLY like you i.e. have thin fragile skin, and have the same results with that bloody Restylane. She put one injection in last week and now it is bumpy on the marionette line and a new line is forming around the bump. VERY annoying. If I go back, they won't give me any more for free, probably just massage it. And I paid $550 for what exactly?????

Is the asymmetry the side with the bruise? The second day was the day that I looked like Janice the beatnik muppet lady; two days later they were back to pretty normal. How many cc did you get and where is your clinic?

Oh my gosh! I had mine done 2 days ago and the right side of my upper lip is the same way. I have called the doctor to take a look at it. Can you tell me what happened with your results? Thanks,

I would be careful I ended up with too much there. It cost me a lot of $ to have it done and more $ to have it undone.

I had my lips done by {edited} 4 years ago and I still get compliments...I wanted something permanent and he recommended Radiance. Be very careful, not everyone knows how to use radiance in lips. Dr' {edited}. Does and he made sure my lips are exactly how I wanted them to be. I would go to him. Expensive though...you get what you pay for...mine cost around $2000 4 years ago and I still have nice full luscious lips.

Radiesse (formerly known as radiance) in lips is off label; the manufacturer does not recommend that it is used for that purpose because it can cause lumping in that region. Also, unlike restylane and juvederm if a lump does occur it simply has to be cut out with radiesse and could leave a scar. It's good for deep tissue so be aware of the risks before you try it in your lips. The following link shows one patient's ordeal with it. http://www.click2houston.com/health/5322021/detail.html

who was your doctor in Beverly Hills?

google ask dr. {edited} and read some of his posts in the fillers section. You can also ask him questions about it. Sometimes you swell like crazy the first two days and you can swell or bruise in one spot but not in others so don't worry yet; just keep ice on it. Even if it turns out to be a lump caused by restylane not acting as it should it can easily be dissolved with one shot of vitrase. With restylane you're pretty safe no matter what.
