I feel like my lips look the same and wondering if I should just get more or if the restylane doesn't work? The swelling seems to 95% gone down so I'm thinking my lips may get even smaller.
Answer: Mild swelling? I think you should see your injector and discuss your concerns. My guess is that no enough was injected into the lips. You can try a full syringe or try a different product next time.

Answer: Lip augmentation Results with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Implants, Fat Keep in mind, it can take 1-2 weeks for final results with lip fillers. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Juvederm & Voluma are also good for creating a full lip. Implants or fat are alternatives. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Swelling after lip injections Hi,Thank you for your question and sharing your photos. The first question to ask is how much restylane was used? Swelling after lip injections is very common and usually subsides in a few days if there isn't any significant bruising. Looking at your photos, it does look similar apart from the vermillion border, which looks more defined. It's difficult to assess completely with only a 2D frontal view. Occasionally, there are some patients that are fast metabolizers and break down the product quicker but 2 days is unusual. Most likely you need more product. I would encourage you to follow up with your injector to discuss the next step.Hope this helps!

Answer: Restylane Results Thank you for your question and for submitting your photos. While I can't make exact recommendations without assessing you in-person, based on your photos, I think that your results are very subtle. Do you remember how much Restylane was injected? Considering the fact that you are still likely experiencing mild swelling, I can't imagine you were injected with more than half a syringe, if even that. It's likely that you will need additional filler - I would recommend waiting two weeks any remaining swelling to fully subside, and then discussing your concerns with your injector. You may benefit from a different product, like Juvederm Ultra or Ultra Plus, for more dramatic volume.

Answer: Restylane in Lips While I see a slight amount of fullness, I do agree that they look nearly the same and at two days post, there is likely residual swelling, thus they will get smaller still. How much product was injected? Based on the results two days post, I would assume not very much - probably 1/2 syringe or less. Another possible contributing factor here is your discussion with your injector prior to the procedure about the kind of results you were looking for? It is possible that they understood that you wanted a very conservative enhancement. I would advise returning to your injector and explaining to them your concern and I am sure they will be happy to add more, if desired.
