Swelling is a common occurrence after any injection. The amount of swelling is variable but is generally minimal and lasts only a couple of days. Multiple different fillers can be combined for certain purposes. The effect though, would be the same if you use one filler or multiple fillers.

If you do experience 'severe' swelling after a Restylane injection, this may indicate an allergic reaction to the Restylane and likely to all hyaluronic acid compounds. It would be very important to have this checked by the administering physician to be sure that you are treated appropriately. If this were to happen, it would likely happen soon after the injection, likely while you were still in the office.
