Revanesse Swelling - What Can I Do?
I had 2 mls of Revanesse in my undereye, cheeks, nasolabial and lips 8 days ago. I'm still very, very swollen and hate the look. Dr. tried a homepathic injection to ease swelling - nothing. I tried Naproxen - nothing. I also tried Reactine - nothing. I am quite scared and put off an event to next week and I think my bf is going to propose. I can't live like this. Should I go to a dr. to get a prescription anti inflammatory. I also hate the result of my filler. Please help!

Revanesse is an HA filler but it is not approved for use in the U.S. Because it is an HA filler it should respond to hyaluronidase (called Vitrase or Wydase in Canada). Normally fillers can take up to 2 weeks to fully settle down, so I don't know that you want to start altering things yet. However, if you are certain you hate the filler and want it removed, you will need to seek dissolving injections from a physician. An anti-inflammatory, Naproxen, homeopathic injections (I don't even know...
