Extreme pain after Restylane

Kavita Mariwalla, MD answers: Extreme pain after Restylane?

I just had Restylane done for my fourth time 4 days ago & I am in extreme pain, I can't even sleep is this normal? What do I do? I am waiting for the clinic to open so I can ask for some extreme pain killers. I hurt so bad I feel like crying!! Please tell me if this is normal?

Dear Natalia77,

You should not have extreme pain. If the clinic is not available, I would call your primary care physician or go to the nearest emergency room. There will be a physician available to evaluate your situation. I do not want to speculate on the problem because it depends where the Restylane was done but pain after injection can be due to swelling and bruising but should not continue for 4 days and should certainly not make you feel like you need strong pain killers to control it.

Good luck,

Dr. Mariwalla
