Restylane - 1 mL in the lips: okay to travel?
That sounds like the right amount of Restylane for an initial treatment and, in fact, that's usually about the most I'd want to put in the lips at any one time (you can always do more at a later time).
You can reasonably expect some swelling and bruising - that's the case for any injection, but certainly for an injection in the lips.
It's fine to travel 5-7 days after the procedure, but you may still have some lingering effects (swelling, bruising) from the injections...

Restylane Lip Enhancement
Hi Amanda. In general, travelling 5 days after restylane treatment should not present a problem. Bruising and swelling should be resolved by then. Any persistent bruising can be covered with makeup. Be aware that when a treatment is performed for the first time, there will be a greater degree of uncertainty on your part. Consider that being distant from your doctor may limit your ability to be examined by and/or seek advice from your doctor should any questions arise. Always check with...

Restylane Lip Augmentation
Taking an international flight 5 days after restylane treatment should not be a problem. We have many out of town patients who come to Beverly Hills for their treatments. I like to show my patients the progression of their lip augmentation DURING the process so that they can see and tell me what they want.

Restylane in lips and brusing expectations
Restylane may result in bruising and swelling after injection. It may last 5-7 days and is often most pronounced in the lips. One ml syringe is usually a good starting point for injection in lips.

Are Traveling Restrictions Necessary with Restylane Treatments?
As the panel members stated, traveling several days after treatment should not be a concern. It's probably more important to plan ahead for the special occasion of a vacation or event so that any unexpected bruising or swelling may have time to resolve. Also, the 2 week mark after treatment is the ideal time to appreciate the full effects of the treatment.
Regarding amount of product to be used in the treatment plan, only you and your practitioner can come to the best...

Flying 5 days after Restylane
Greetings~
No worries about flying 5 days after your treatment. Generally, swelling after treatment resolves in 2-3 days and if you have any concerns in the few days following treatment you'll still be around to have them addressed by the provider that did your injections. It's difficult, if not impossible, to say what amount of filler (Restylane) would be needed to give you the results you desire. 1cc may be perfect...it may be far too much...or it may be...

OK to travel after Restylane for lip augmentation
We have patients that travel from all over the world for fillers like Restylane in the lips and Perlane or Radiesse to the cheeks and jaw line that leave the same day. IMHO, you'll be fine 5 days after Restylane to the lips. Will 1 cc, of Restylane, be enough to augment your lips? Don't know, it'll depend on how full they are now and how full you'd like them to be.

Restylane and travel
You can travel after your facial filler. The only limitation would be the day of or within 48 hrs. Usually I tell people there will be a erythema right after the injection. It is cleared by the next day. Ice that night , no makeup . Keep your face clean, and by the next day you should be ready to get out and about. Any lumpy bumpy feelings can be massaged but clear that with the injector. Also no drinking through a straw the first 48hrs. That suction affect can displace the filler ....

Traveling after Restylane
In general, the only concern is the issue of swelling and bruising after the treatment. The degree of bruising can be affected by your medications so make sure you avoid things that promote bleeding such as aspirin, ibuprofen, various vitamins and nutritional supplements, etc. Swelling can sometimes be more of an issue when treating the lips than other areas but I think you should be fine with only 1cc which is a good idea anyway if this is the first time you are having your lips done. As a...
