I got restylane injections in my lips yesterday and the doctor told me the swelling would only be noticeable to me and that I could go to work. That is definitely not the case. When can I expect this to subside? I'm freaking out.
Answer: Swelling after Restylane We routinely prescribe a medrol dose pack when patients have a hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm and Restylane), because flash swelling can occur (albeit infrequently). This can be dealt with fairly expeditiously by calling your Doctor.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Swelling after restylane in lips Thank you for your question. It is very common for the lips to look over corrected or fake the next day. This is due to all the swelling that ensues. I often tell my patients that this is the "oh my gosh" day. It can be 'oh my gosh' my lips are so swollen! It could also be 'oh my gosh' I love my lips even more than yesterday. Either way, the swelling may last a few days with every day showing a decrease in swelling. The more you ice the first day or two, the less swelling you will have. I would wait a few days to a week and then return to your injector if you still have concerns after that. If you like the look of the lips at some point during the swelling reduction, then take a picture. This way you know what volume you like in the lips for the future.

Answer: Swelling After Lip Injections You need to be evaluated at the clinic where you had the procedure. If it is determined you have no allergy and the lips remain too large after a period of time, you can have the filler broken down with hyaluronidase. It is best to have a hyaluronidase allergy test before treatment.

Answer: Swelling post injection There is no question this is more swelling than normal but the degree of swelling will vary from one patient to the next.I would keep icing it and it 3 to 4 days the swelling should go down significantly.Be patient.

Answer: 1 day post Restylane injections to my lips with swelling. My lips are enourmous- when should I panic? I have seen this swelling reaction infrequently following HA filler injection to the lips. It is an allergic reaction to the cleaning agents or the preservatives in the fillers. Please seek medical attention if this continues in the form of a steroid injection and a Medrol dose pack by mouth...
