First, give yourself time to allow swelling to resolve. Most swelling after lip enhancement goes down in a couple days. As others have already mentioned, waiting a week is appropriate.

A: Restylane: Swelling at 2 Days is Normal

By Stephen Prendiville, MD - Ft. Myers Facial Plastic Surgeon

Swelling 2 days after Restylane lies within the Bell curve of what to expect. This is a little longer than a patient expects, but well within the parameters of what I have seen.

A: Wait before you get hyaluronidase for Restylane in lips

By Darryl J. Blinski, MD - Miami Plastic Surgeon

After 2 days is much to soon to entertain additional injection type treatments (Hyaluronidase). You MUST wait at least 2 weeks for the swelling if any decreases. I recommend use of iced compresses, possibly medrol dose pack (steriods by mouth foe 1 week), or the old 'tinture of time'. If after 2 weeks... more

Although it is entirely safe to use Hyaluronidase to dissolve excessive Restylane that was place in your lips, you may want to wait a week or so prior to undertaking the procedure.

By Jordana S. Gilman, MD - Manhattan Dermatologic surgeon

Swelling after Restylane can be significant, and can last up to a week in some people. Also, bruising can cause swelling, and can take one week to fully resolve. Don't panic yet. Give it some more time. Don't touch or play with the area. I wouldn't recommend that you get hyaluronidase... more

By Robert F. Gray, MD - San Francisco Facial Plastic Surgeon

Don't worry, yet. If your doctor was experienced with fillers then it will probably turn out just fine. No one wants to look like a duck and that can happen if the lips were not properly filled. There is a great deal of skill in doing a great lip treatment. It requires experience and... more

A: It has only been 2 days after Restylane, just wait, it may be swelling

By Anne Marie McNeill, MD - Newport Beach Dermatologist

In most people after Restylane, the swelling is down after 1-2 days. But there are certain people who swell a lot, and it can be prolonged, ~1 week. I would wait 1-2 weeks before considering hyaluronidase. But, yes, hyaluronidase is a simple and effective way to reverse Restylane treatment.

A: Hyaluronidase will dissolve Restylane or Juvederm

By Janet M. Neigel, MD - Newark Oculoplastic surgeon

Hyaluronidase (an enzyme) does work beautifully to dissolve Restylane or Juvederm (hyaluronic acids). I always tell patients to wait 1-2 weeks to make sure all the swelling has gone away before they judge the result. Good luck.

A: swelling will go down, dont panic yet

By Jonathan Hoenig, MD - Beverly Hills Oculoplastic surgeon

You can use hyaluronidase to dissolve excess Restylane. It works beautifully. I suggest that you wait for at least a week after your treatment because once the swelling subsides you might actually like the effect. 1/4 cc for the top and 1/4 cc for the bottom is not alot and should give you subtle results like... more
