Sanjay Grover, MD answers: Restylane downtime

How many days of recovery time can I expect with Restylane? Can I have it done in the morning and go to work without anyone really noticing?

Most patients can return to work the day following their treatment.  The amount of swelling one may experience depends on where they had Restylane injected.  Lips may become a bit more swollen than the rest of the face.  Any time one places a needle in the skin, there is a risk to develop a bruise.  It is advisable to avoid non steroidal anti inflammatories the week prior to your treatment.
