Swelling After Restylane in the Lips

Swelling after injections of Restylane in the lips is very common. Most of the swelling should resolve by around 1-2 days. Bruising may persist for 1-2 weeks. If you feel that you have a "ball" in one area or if you feel that the lips are uneven, you should speak to your dermatologist. In some cases, the product can be massaged into better place. Or, in some cases Hyaluronidase may be used to remove excess product in certain areas.... more

Lumps after Restylane

After injection with any dermal filler, you are likely to have moderate swelling which should resolve over a few days. If you do have lumps or bumps, it may be from product which was not injected smoothly or over-injeciton of product. If this is the case, your injector can treat you with Hylauronidase which will melt the product within about 24 hours. This treatment is effective for Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane and Prevelle, but not for Radiesse for collagen injections.... more

Restylane Injection Lumps and Bumps

Hi, Definitely call your injecting physician whenever you have a question or concern about a treatment side effect. Most likely massage and time will help resolve the problem. If it persists, speak with your injector about dissolving some of the Restylane with hyaluronidase. Hope all is well. Dr. P

Lumps/ Swelling after Restylane

Swelling is very common and the feeling of fullness in the corners are normal when trying to buttress droopy corners of the mouth. If the swelling/lumpiness persists after 7-10 days then I would give the doctor a call. In the mean time, use cold compresses for the swelling for the next few days and then switch to warm, moist compresses if the lumps are still there after the swelling subsides. After adding the heat, gently massage the nodules to evenly spread out... more

Restylane and swelling

First, restylane may cause a bit of swelling,. Second if you feel a lump you can probably massage it out as I will tell my patients if this happens. I usually do this routinely when I inject to even out the filler. Call your dermatologist with your concerns.
