Restylane to lip

Filler does not go away after five days. The lip does swell extensively after injection. Often patients like that results. As the swelling subsides, the lip takes on a softer look. If you want more filler to be added( which is quite common) then go back in for more.

Restylane

It is for this reason why pre procedure photos are important. Many times patients forget what they looked like before a filler was administered. If you haven't reached your desired result it is perfectly reasonable to have this conversation with your doctor. If you trust your doctor I think its worth it. Chances are s/he wants you to be a happy patient!

Restylane for the lips

If the filler has disappeared that fast after the injection, it likely was injected too deeply. The swelling afterwards should not make it dissolve any faster.

Disappearing Restylane

No, it is not normal for your Restylane injection to last only five days. Please remember getting the best results always depends upon the skill and experience of your physician injector. You can follow the video link below to see me injecting my wife’s lips with Restylane! Her treatment took only one syringe of Restylane and the results lasted for several years! see video

Swelling after Restylane

It is expected to have swelling after Restylane or any type of filler is injected. After a several days, sometimes up to a few weeks, the swelling will subside. Once this has happened, patients feel like the product has disappeared, when it in fact it has not. It just appears that way because there was significant swelling before settling down. If there is any doubt, ask to see your before photos.

Restylane dissapeared after a few weeks is that normal?

No, it is not normal. Restylane lasts for about 6 months and if it disappeared shortly after injection, it is likely that it wasnt Restylane or that something was done to disperse the product in a way that diffused it.
